Are tank pads tacky or smart? Are there alternatives?

I don't want to scratch my paint and I know it's a matter of time if I don't do something to protect the tank, but I never could figure out how I felt about tank pads. Are they teenager-tacky or are there ones that really complement the bike? Who makes nice ones? Are there other options for protection?

Yep, I started off with a clear one. The FJR came with a Carbon one....

Check out Mag-Knight's website, they make excellent magnetic tank pads, which make it easy to remove for cleaning. I like black or faux carbon fiber. I've used them on the last few bikes I've owned.
