Tank pad or Tank bra?

[Aramis]

Hi all,

I'm looking to settle between a tank pad or a tank bra on my new kat.

I always liked the look with the leather bra, but i'm worried that after a while, the paint will look different and this would suck... IE not exposed to the sun like the rest of the tank.

Any and all thoughts are welcomed...

There shouldn't be a difference, and I think the bra looks much sharper.
If you are going to be putting the pads on, you are covering the paint indefiantely as well no?

Very true,

But a bra is not stuck on, and can be removed easily as opposed to a stuck-on pad, So In a way, one could decide to ride without the bra, and would reveal the discoloration, you can't really take off the pad just for fun...

I would say the bra. Less likely to ruin your clearcoat, and offers a bit more protection. I also like the looks of it better.
