A tank pad is a sticker, decal, or pad that you can apply to your tank that will protect your tank from damage like scratching, scraping, and gouging. Sometimes when you ride a GSXR, you can get your belt buck up against the gas tank and scrape some of the pain off by accident. What a tank pad does is it helps protect your gas tank against damage like this by providing a foam or rubber shield that will wrap around your tank pad to ensure that it remains in good shape.
Tank pads come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes. They can come in complex designs that will compliment the extreme style of your bike (if you are an extreme kind of person…) or in moderate designs that will simply serve to protect without really being noticeable. Some believe that tank pads are actually very stylish in their own right, and consider them an accessory of such as equally as they consider them protectors for the gas tank.
