Hey Rudebwoy, a question and a comment:
Where did you get that tank protector? Looks great, and very thin, just the way I like them.
The comment is you need to bend that brake fluid reservoir upright man; it's about to catch air the way it is tilted, so any sharp movement or pothole would most likely do so. Great looking clip-ons, by the way.

I had the dealer install the tankpad when I first got the bike, I dont know specifically what brand it is but it does seem to be pretty common for triple owners, perhaps others here know more pointedly than I do. There is a small length of the pad that extends further than the end of the tank on the bottom of the tank and is hidden by the seat, in some early posts I heard some complain about it but for me it causes no problems worth mentioning.
I hear you regarding the reservoir, fortunately with my angle adjustment of the clip-ons recently I have been able to reposition it more upright reducing the severe angling of the reservoir significantly. It's not quite flat but almost; futhermore I've decided to take off the flyscreen. I've been pondering this for a few months now, I initially got it so that I could have somewhere on the bike to put my 'ezpass' transponder but I cant help but feel the bike looks better without it, the bugeyes with the eyebrows somehow 'spoils' the look; maybe if I had the bellypan, seat cowl and the flyscreen it would look more complete but I just think it looks better completely naked. This will buy me the space I need to get the reservoir oriented square to the ground.
This of course leaves me with no sensible place to put my transponder...
tank locker perhaps??
