I'm looking for the above for my 2017 TE. The type that go on the tank on either side.

I can't say i'm inspired by the stuff on NNs (and they are expensive). Nothing on eBay or Amazon either. I like the R&G ones but they don't do them for this year (yet). I don't mind paying money for the right product. I prefer black but would consider anything.

Can anyone recommend anything slightly different from those mentioned above please?

Thank you. :thumb2
 
Have you considered trying humvee graphics, they maybe able to help out.

You want these boys based in Rotherham, I was going to try and link you directly to the GS but with over 200 tank pads these guys have the lot, they even make custom pads for beaks, tank sides and any other area you want to cover. they also have an ebay shop.

Used them many times the gear is top quality.

Or more specifically for the 17 knee protectors

I'm happy with these, they are a well known brand https://techspec-usa.com/motorcycle...d-2013-current-snake-skin-tank-grip-pads.html

I tried the Wunderlich version and they were very smooth so defeated the point of getting them, for me anyway

I like them also.. and had seen them on your bike in a pic you posted... look very smart and follow the tank lines... but its the price that put me off... $90 for a bit of rubber!... being in manufacturing, I know what they cost to make... so I can't justify to myself spending that... (but they do look the part for sure)...
Was even thinking of putting down a cheap Ali mould tool and doing some myself... along the same lines :)

some e-bay options...
