Hey Jay... Yeah, I agree. I like the "no-pad" look. Easy to clean, low maintenance and no apparent reason for it`s existence IMO!!!
I`ve read all the alleged purposes of the pad:
... Sound insulation
... Heat insulation
... Fire protection
I say..... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!:
I had mine off my black GP for 8 years... the hood looked brand new when I sold it.:biggrin:
Wanna hear that Supercharger sing??? Rip that pad off!!!!ancing Dot:
