So here is a boring subject. I didn't want to scratch my tank with the jacket zipper and looked for a solution. Tried the clear BMW pad off of the S1000, the black one off of the S1000, the Technik carbon look one and they all had not enough coverage for what I wanted. Kind of liked the TechSpec material and after seeing it in person contacted them through eBay. They had told me when I called them that they did not do low volume custom stuff, but the eBay guy said they would. Long story short I spent a bunch of time making 4 different patterns and sent it to them. A few weeks later recieved 4 tank pads, 2 of the C3 and Snakeskin material. Here are some pics of the Snakeskin, the C3 looks really the same. Doesn't seem to take anything away from the bikes looks IMO.
