[QUOTE="Slonishku, post: 748351, member: 19346"] As for the rear pads, I actually thought about that. It was more a matter of ensuring the pads were in EXACTLY the right spot. By applying them to the FJR's footpads, it was a guaranteed bullseye without any measuring or potential for missing the target altogether. After the tank has been on for a while, the exact spot should be clear from the resulting "clean spot" on the tank itself. At that time, I'll apply the pads to the tank rather than the bike. I did get some of the rubber bumpers with the slotted pull-thorough sort of cone for the front feet. You are right that the front legs of the tank were drilled to accept such bumpers. The problem was that I could find no such bumpers of the right thickness. My options were either +/-1.5mm or over 6mm in thickness- neither a good option. While I'll be on the lookout for some of the correct thickness, the felt options seem to be a great fit. [/QUOTE]
