I didn't realize they were available from Yamaha. I think I must have been so laser focused on trying to get a Comfort Saddle that I overlooked some of the other Yamaha Accessories. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice work on those man. I could benefit for something like that on the z900rs but it’d kill its aesthetic. Your bike being more sport oriented looks really good on there! I took the grip pads off my triumph when we changed seat as we no longer hug the tank, but they were great when in use.
Its funny, they are meant to add grip but I wanted them more to protect the paint from my Jeans / Jacket / Belt. I bought a wheelie-monster of a bike and ride it like an old man 🤣
I wasn't crazy about the 2 pad look so I found a good looking set with the MT logo on amazon. You can see how they look on my walk around video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hQ_41Rg6z-k.html Tank pad link-www.amazon.com/2021-2022-Motorcycle-Protector-Stickers-Traction/dp/B09P2ZR89K/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2OXQT2JSNEEG0&keywords=mt09+tank+protector&qid=1653224277&sprefix=mt09+ta%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-3
Your tank pads look good - I actually like that center one better than the one that came with my kit. What do you think of the windscreen? I was looking at the one from Italy and was having a hard time justifying the price.
@@WaltInPA I don't like that windscreen at all, it does nothing except cover that open area. I was going to get the touring shield from Puig, but they are hard to find. I came across a video with a good looking shield and went with that instead. Check it out. ru-vid.com4dy_UuJZKNQ
Nice job, difficult to get everything positioned just right so it looks equal both sides. I'm looking for something for my XSR900 but don't want to alter the Mars Bar looks of the tank so much.
Nice job applying the grips. In addition to making the hugging contact more comfortable, does it cut down or eliminate any vibrations or heat the tank may pick up during hot summer days?
I can't say that I've really noticed a difference in heat and vibration. I wanted them more for protection that anything else - I was afraid my riding jeans or heavy riding pants might scuff the paint. They most certainly add grip though 👍
