From what I can tell, this is what the Techspec precut pad for the ZX14 looks like.
I don't like the idea of the edge of the tank dictating how the pad is shaped like this. I was willing to have the pad lap over onto the front body panel in front ot the tank, cause that is where half of my knee pressure is, anyway.
Not sure what design to use, but I want it, as I said, to look as if it flows with the bike's design and lines. And since I gonna cut my own design from raw sheets of the techspec material, I am gonna have to bevel the edges to make it look professional and be less likely to peel off, as it would with a sharp edge.
Maybe make the pad in the same shape as the Kawasaki flames? It'd match the other flames on the bike, but flames would be too flashy in black.
Maybe recreate the exact ZX14-R letter shapes and proportions as is on the tailend of the bike? Or just a big Kawasaki *K*, in the exact logo shape?
Nah............... Dont' like anything too gaudy or tacky or kiddish looking.
.....What it do will probably cut a design that merely follows the contours of the surrounding lines, but that would mean also being on the foreman grills a bit. But the whole design can't be too big.
