Cheers.

I agree the horizontal orientation is more traditional and was my first intention when I ordered these. Once I got them, I just couldn't get it to look right that way. I think it is the contours on the aft portion of the tank that didn't work with these pads. I think had they been a little shorter in the horizontal dimension, it would have worked. Given my legs are so long, my knees catch the bottom of the pads.

On your Triumph, the pads are pretty much the same shape as the tank, so they were designed for the bike. I felt like my tank pads would look like I just slapped them on had I oriented them horizontally. Though different, I like them vertically.

Any chance of seeing the entire Triumph? I like the little bit I see.
