Ill be putting a black bra on mine, i love the way they look on the tanks....unless of course the paint job is beautifull but it wont be once im done practicing turning and such, i WILL lay it down at least once i know it, just gotta be carefull.

This is the one I use. I think this pad fits great. It actually fits right into that little hump that the gas cap has.
