I put on a pair of knee pads the other day, and unfortunately, at 5' 8", I think I am too short for them. The left one is quite nice, but my right leg sits lower on the brake and my knee hits just on the lower lip of the pad, which is vaguely uncomfortable and of course therefore the opposite of the intended purpose of the pads.

Notwithstanding that they look pretty cool, any thoughts on how to get these things off without ruining the tank paint?
