redrover Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I ordered a set of the Yamaha Tank pads and installed them this weekend. They are a thick carbon fiber printed vinyl resin; fairly simple install. Spent a fair bit of time eyeballing the right and left sides of the bike to ensure I had them even and in the ideal location. The directions that come with the pads is for a center tank protector, not the side tank pads; in other words, useless. I used the photos of the white bike on the Yamaha site with all the accessories installed, as a model, and just used my usual methods of graphics installation without too much issue. The pads are not textured, but being vinyl resin, they have a rubbery, grippy feel. They conform well to the curves of the tank panels, and seem very durable. And they look good as well! 2015 FZ-07 2013 TU250X - Sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedTorque Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 They look really good. Could use a pair of those in the future. Not sure how I feel about words being on them though. I'd prefer a more plain look personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjohnson Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah that definitely looks good! I thought about getting these but I also like the plain look. Having two fz-07 logos on each side if the bike might be a little much for me. I'll prolly pick up a set in the future and peel the logo off the tail.

redrover Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 I also like the flat black helmet with the 07Yea, what the story on that helmet? That's an Icon Airmada in the Rubatone finish; a matte black with a rubbery feel. Doesn't show smudges or fingerprints nearly as much as other matte finishes. 2015 FZ-07 2013 TU250X - Sold!
