🤣LOL I believe they would give you a discount if you bought Bread Machine with it!

I've been wanting a Bonneville T120 for a while so I went to MotoEuropa in St. Louis to check out this red one and bought it. They are prepping it, so I will take her home tomorrow. I just want something to "cruise" that won't compete for my attention when I want to fly on my Tracer. They also have a V4 Ducati Panigale but a little out of my budget... I have the room in the garage , why not fill the space? Oh the Museum is next door and is amazing!

and I came home with this

godspeed!

I have a BIG Head and my perfect helmet is Shoei RF1200 Large. No other helmet fits my Dome like that! However I was interested in a Modular as my main Lid due to the warm weather and stopping for some hydration without having to go through the routine of removing full face helmet. Neotec was top on my list after reading this thread and many youtube videos. Went to CycleGear to try on and fit is very different than RF1200, also has the dreaded RACHET. 30+ years of riding and no complaints with D rings on the chinstrap, Rachet's choke me out so this helmet is a No Go. So I ordered an HJC i91 modular from Revzilla. That's the one for me! The sizing is weird compared to the other manufacturers, but the XL is better. I also wear a Balaclava under the helmet to keep my long hair out of the way. It is Quiet for a modular and has a place for Sena Integrated Bluetooth and feels more premium than the Shoei Neotec. Just my 2 cents. Sorry got too wordy, but advise to check out the HJC i91 Now my neck needs to get used to the lack of balance on a modular. The chinbar and mechanism needs to be strong so its heavier in the front. Puts some extra strain on your neck.

+1 on the shim kit. I put 6mm on my 24 GT+. Now the seat is "just right" 😊

Turn 2 "Andretti Hairpin" at Laguna about 10 years ago. Was spoiled living in CA with so many great tracks!

Welcome from a fellow new Tracer owner! My 2003 Concours was my first Sport Tourer, got it new back in the day

I'm curious if the GT9+ is safe to flash yet? I'm in no rush because my GT9+ is better than other modern FI bike's I've owned, but still..this CP3 engine is so delightful, i want to set it free! 😊

Case came in, fits perfect, lock cylinder fits. Nice to have 1 key for everything. Mission Accomplished !

Cool Helmet! What brand is it?

I have the Shad 39L and it does not fit the Yamaha Rack pictured at the top of this post.

Update: I really liked the look and build quality of the Yamaha Top Case Rack even though it appears to be a PITA to install. I got a deal on a SHAD 39 case so I was on way to DIY'ing the SHAD plastic universal mount on the Yamaha rack. I would check ebay one last time for any Yamaha 39L top case in the USA, and I found one, new...pulled the trigger.. 🤞 Let's hope this one arrives so I can have the setup I intended for a secure Top Case.

UPDATE from the order I placed on the 10th. No communication from Cyclepartsnation since they charged my card $260. I reached out to them only to be told the case has been discontinued and I would be refunded the money. Not a Big Fan of CyclePartsNation and how they do business 😠

I recently moved from SF Bay Area (where I could ride year round) to here in MO to help my sister with aging parents. I noticed the white powder on the freeway, but the backroads were better. I'm going to get a can of something to protect my new bike from corrosion (and keep it clean). cheers, Jen

No the GT+ still comes with the Bridgestones. I just changed to the Road 6's for my own preference. Let me get another 100 miles on em....just worn off the shiny stuff..😉

Just got my bike back from the 600 mile service, broke in my Michelin Road 6's on the backroads.

That red looks great! 😎

Put my first 600 miles on my GT+ and had to chime in on the stock Bridgestones. Not a Big Fan of em. Not confidence inspiring when going into a long sweeper. Bike tends to want to fall into lean quickly and then you must correct to avoid crossing the double yellow. I'm used to Michelin or Pirelli and think I will change out tires when I get $$$ again. In the meantime I dropped the pressure in the front 3lbs and its much more of joy to take on the twisties. cheers, Jen

I placed an order for 39L from Cyclepartsnation and they charged my card. Let's see how this goes 🤔

I purchased at the other "Zilla" partszilla and only found out the case was not available after they shipped the rest of my order. I'll just have to return the mount since Revzilla doesn't show the Yamaha 39L case just a Shad.
