You can barely see mine, as it should be...

Mine is a small gel type of pad that I picked up at an Auto Barn ($5)..it attach's without glue..
it's supposed to stick on the dash of your car and be able to sit your mobile phone on it and it wont slide off..
it has the same texture as the seat.

Our BMW dealer has nice carbon fiber ones..I could take a pic if you like...
it looks a bit like this http://www.geelongcarboncraft.com.au/st ... 001_TP.jpg

This is a First Gear tank bag . It uses magnets to hold it down. I've had it for about 6 years , holds a lot a stuff and very easy to remove when refueling.

I like the looks of this tank pad set... Pics not great, but you get the idea...

Here's where you can find it... Due to the way Santa Cruz BMW has their web site set up, I can't just paste in a link, so here's the item as it appears on their site...

It's that the GS tank pad protection...?

Seem most you are using this pad..

No, this set is specifically for the r1150r and Rockster... It might work on the GS...

Take a look at http://www.tankpads.com IÃ‚Â´m sure that you will find at least one "cool" pad there

I use a Bagster Tank cover - synthetic leather cover that shrouds the entire tank and fills in those unsightly gaps between the seat/tank and the oil-cooler shrouds/tank.

They're all ugly as hell. No way I'd ever stick one of those things on my bike. What's it suppossed to do, anyway? Give me some 'crotch traction'? Protect the tank from scratches? My balls from the tank? -?

Some of the longer jackets like the BMW Savanna come down low enough to put small scratches in the tank. Besides, the matte black paint on the sides of the tank on my Rockster were showing scuff mark from my jeans. Maybe they're not for everyone, but I like the way they look on my bike and thats what counts.

I have a clear one bought from Hien gericke, but I'm sure you can get them from other places.
