RE: Tank knee pads
#21

I made my own by making a paper pattern, then cutting some rubber sheet flooring material I had left over. On another forum I read about 3M exterior double stick tape to hold the pads on, and two years later they show no signs of coming off. I commute in Seattle weather year round, so they get a work out.

I have the ones from tech spec that are made for a Triumph bonny. If you search my threads you will find my youtube video showing them. Or you can go to youtube and search CB1100 with cafe mods.
This is the link to my video, hope it works.

I just ordered these last evening. They say they will be here Friday. I'll see how they fit and if I decide to put them on the CB I'll post a couple pics of them.

That's exactly what I'm looking for! Something that matches the whole indent and is textured/ slightly raised

Hi Dvassino, sorry I am struggling to upload photo's. Have a look at Item No 111757152769 on EBay. They are real good quality and look great on the bike.

Regards
J.W.

I got mine from a supplier called Motone. They are designed for the Triumph, but they fit perfect to the 1100. I purchased the plain ones for the CB.

If only manufacturing a part was a simple as creating something in photoshop. Dodgy

How long before someone goes something like this?

I like the idea of knee pads, but with my inclination towards symmetry, aesthetics, and proportion, they have to fit the lines of the bike and integrate nicely. The ones above would fit the bill nicely.

They came today. I took a few pics, I'll try and post both sides.

I had to put them down near the bottom, because my knees gripped them perfect down there. Higher up and your knees can't grip them.
