Anyone know of some black tank pads that will fit the white cutout on the gold line tank?

I would have wagered that Triumph's original tank pads would fit it perfectly but after using the configurator on Triumph's page I have some doubts now..

I can’t help with the knee pad size but the cutouts on the goldline tank aren’t white. They’re a brushed metal finish and look great in the flesh. I thought about knee pads as I thought the cutouts are just silver paint but I decided not to use tank pads when I saw it. I’ve added clear paint protection film to keep them looking good. I’ve attached a photo of mine which kind of shows the finish.

Sorry @Margus. I just saw your other thread introducing Max. You clearly know what the side of the goldline tank looks like! D’oh! Sorry about that. Please just ignore the message above.

I am going to go with @Clem Fandango, the tank looks better without the pads.

Yeah, I do see the reasoning.. I kinda got carried away when imagining my perfect Gold Line setup in photoshop and really loved the matching tankpads and the seat (both black and diamond-stitched), but I'll first get the seat swapped and then see in real life whether it would still be a good idea to cover the tank sides up or not..

@Clem Fandango Is there a protective film special to this bike or where/how did you get one?

I have protective film on the sides of the tank which entirely covers the cutouts; though it wasn’t on the bike when that photo was taken. I made a mess of fitting the top protection film so I need to get another and possibly pay someone to fit it. The side sections went on really easily. I’ll take a photo of them in situ when I get a chance. I got the kit from a UK based site called Invisible Patterns. Hopefully this link will work.

I have the Triumph brown diamond stitched seat on mine and love how it looks with the goldline colours.
