I had always used a Mag-Knight tank bra on my XX but never really liked the way that it looked on the tank.

After looking closely at the locations of all of the scratches on that bra, and learning that 99.99% of them were right at the back of the tank... I decided to install a genuine Honda tank pad instead.

In the U.K. this pad carries part number 08P61-MCS-800 and is shown in the official Honda U.K. Accessories Catalog as an accessory tank pad for the CBR1100XX, ST1300, and a few other models.

In the United States the part number is 08P61-MCS-100 and the box says that it's an ST1300 part.

Bottom line is that it costs $40.14 from Ron Ayers and it fits the XX very well.

Bill,
is it magnetic or affix with some kind of paint-friendly adhesive? It looks great!

:cheers:

Attaches all around the edges and up the center with thin two-sided adhesive tape.

That's the best looking color, and the fastest.

i've never seen a red xx up close.

that's pretty fucking sharp!
