Pads and screen???

Also tank pads I like the look of the vtr specific. Tankpad Motografix 3D Gel Protection but again ideas and thoughts would be great.
Thanks in advance

Re: Pads and screen???
I'd vote for dark tint screen
Re: Pads and screen???
Dark tint for sure.
Re: Pads and screen???
Light tint so you can see through it when you hook a long one
Iridium and coloured went out about 10 years ago don't do it

Re: Pads and screen???
I had an iridium screen a couple of years ago, on the right colour bike it looks good. personally i'd go for a light tint double bubble or flip up, fabbri are one of the best...
the cheap £20 screens aren't very good, with poor fit and thin plastics, you get what you pay for.

Re: Pads and screen???
I was pleasantly surprised how good Chric's Red screen looked on his Red Storm. I must say it looks better on the bike than did off.

At the end of the day it comes down to personal taste. As for Tank Pads I'm a fan of the HRC ones.

Re: Pads and screen???
Full black screen on a yellow bike
I fitted clear stopgrips on my tank and they are a great addition....but I kind of wish I had fitted black ones now!
They don't do a specific set for the storm, but their universal tank pads work just fine

Gareth, it's yellow mate!!! A tarpaulin over it is the only way to improve it! I know where you can get some nice blue paint, local as well.

I love the yellow it allows every to with reduced senses to know I'm there! The deaf will see me from a mile away while the blind will hear the micron exausts from a mile away also.
