My wife got me this one for Christmas. It comes with the middle pad and the two side ones. Haven't had a chance to install it or test it out yet.

I have the kawasaki one and it looks great on the bike and does offer slightly more protection than commercial ones.

Also got the OEM pads, looks good and works well. You can see the dull areas on the pads, that would have been on the paintwork without it.

klb1122,
I'm curious if those side pads would not be more functional installed on the upper fairing instead of the tank - that is, the area you grab with your knees.

Good question. The pics above are from their website, but I installed mine the same way. I don't do too much moving around on the C-14 because it is my two-up bike. I just wanted some protection to keep from scratching up the tank. A little protection on the upper fairing would be nice as well. They make sheets of the stuff that you could buy and cut yourself and just make your own design if you are wanting to.

I just went to the techspec site, and the tank pads for the ZX14 are grey. They look like they would fit the same!!!!

I'm not quite sure the ones for the ZX14's are grey. I think it's a combination of bike color, lighting, and flash... but that's just me.
