A few from last year's camping trips.

I got one of those too- just cuz!

Can you share some details on the drain plug mod - how, what, etc? It looks interesting. TIA Sure- do some searching and you'll find a lot about the oil pans on the early FJ-09. The "fin" is a low-point and has punctured more than a few oil pans. Using an angle grinder, you can buzz that fin off and replace the drain plug with a flush one, preventing punctures. In 2016, Yamaha redesigned the oil pan on mid year FJ-09's to prevent further issues.

Beanburnham- yes, as a matter of fact I did. Had to shave a mm off the plastic. You'd think 6yr old kids in China could do better!

Couple of recent mods- nothing new, but just wanted to share. Oil Pan/Plug Mod New Front Master Cylinder Cover Larger Foot for the Kickstand And FZ6 Pegs (really nice upgrade for cheap)

Added some nylon "pad eyes" to the tops of the factory hard bags to add some anchor points for extra gear. The factory bags are double walled, and the rivets go in in a snap. Pretty cool!

The left side is oh-my-gawd-falling-off-a-curb-and-landing-on-my-butt easy. Seriously. The throttle side is a little more tricky, due to the loop you need to add, to let the throttle move freely. Not that bad, and the post REALLY helps. Just pay close attention to how the throttle cables come off the bike and you'll be fine. They really are plug&play. Happy Hands.

Tossed a new, Gold, 525, O-Ring chain on there- because me.

Too much crap in my garage for the stock, Yamaha bags! The side bags are tucked in nice and tight, but they don't hold much. The top case is big, but oddly shaped and barely hauls my laptop. I found that I used the heated grips on my Buell a ton more than I thought I would. I must have sensitive hands....

Added the 50L Euro, Top Case to complete my 3 bag setup. Oh, and the last mod is self explanatory

New hard bags & top case mount. Now I just need to decide on a case! From this: To this:
