Part # 1601059
CSS Tank Pads

The fit and finish of these pads is great. They look great on my 2022 r1250rt. My only grip is that the adhesive is just not wanting to stick in a few places. The surfaces were properly cleaned prior to mounting (this isn't my first rodeo), but they still fail to hold properly.

I was shopping online for R1200RT tank grips and these were the only solution that I could find. While these lack an aggressive gripping texture, they do provide a reassuringly solid feel when gripping the tank with my legs. Without them, the body panels flex and creak to impart a cheap construction feel to an otherwise very expensive bike. As mentioned in the title, I was surprised to see how the seat profile visually flows into the tank pads. Another reviewer had wished for the lower pads to cover more of the side panel, which would affect these profile aesthetics. I also would prefer enlarged lower tank pads to match my leg's contact area with the bike. So far, though, I'm more or less satisfied with the product. As a side note after purchasing these, I happened to speak with a BMW parts dealer about trying to locate aggressive tank grips and he was able to source a major brand product for about the same price as these pads.

Tank and knee pads are nicely made The pad that goes on top of tank needs more tape in it to stick better. Overall very nice.
