Tank knee pads

I've been thinking about tank knee pads. I love the way they look on older Hondas and new Triumph standards still come with them. Keith Code (A Twist of the Throttle) talks a lot about keeping shoulders and arms loose and holding on to the tank with your knees. This would seem to be a lot easier with tank knee pads.

I've looked at what's on eBay and Amazon; pads for vintage Hondas like the CD175, S65 and more recent Triumphs. There's nothing on webike japan. Sport bike hackers use non-slip tape or truck bed spray but there's no way I would do that!

The appeal is primarily aesthetic, as it visually calls attention to one aspect of riding technique, but I'm curious to see if it enhances the riding experience.

Any thoughts?
