You need to remember the bike is a built to a very low price so the components aren't going to give you cutting edge handling. If you want a bike to handle well at 180kph, go buy an R6.

wow! that is hideous and super priceyIt even references the Diavel in the listing - the French love them, they are everywhere.

that is an after picture! The 2D picture does not show depth very well - taking away the divider makes a deep section under the latch bracketry more accessible so you have one large compartment rather than 2 small compartments, one of which is inaccessible If you look at one in the flesh, the benefit of this mod will be obvious...

If you have a favourite meeting place for flaunting your new Tracer in the UK, post the details below. Even better if they do a decent bacon bap, cob, sarnie, roll, buttie, piece 'n bacon or whatever it is called in that part of the UK. To start, I can recommend Dom's Bike Stop near Leominster in Herefordshire. It's just off the roundabout where the A44 crosses the A49. Dom has his own farm so the bacon, sausages etc are excellent. https://www.facebook.com/groups/DomsBikeStop/?fref=ts http://domsbikestop.co.uk/ http://goo.gl/maps/QMLcv In the Lake District, my friends took me to the Filling Station Cafe in Keswick. Nice cakes and burgers. http://fillingstationcafe.weebly.com/ http://goo.gl/maps/fDGRF If you are on the A40 west of Brecon then the cafe at Glanusk Services is good http://goo.gl/maps/uoJnd

the Puig frame sliders are on Amazon UK but out of stock at the moment. Jeep an eye on this page if interested in them http://www.amazon.co.uk/Puig-7316N-Sliders-Yamaha-2013-2015/dp/B00TDCXUDU

it will be much lower as the blue is not on sale in North America, this year at least.

not that I can see, you can leave the tool roll in the same place if you want to and the rubber band is strong enough to stop it moving forward the plastic is thin and can be cut away with a Stanley knife - took me under a minute to trim it away as the plastic is thin it is easy to leave sharp edges so take your time to make a tidy job With the divider gone I have space to put a pair of thick gloves to use if I get caught in a sudden downpour. Sadly not quite large enough for the can of tyre sealant I carry rather than a puncture kit

neat animation of the MRA Screen thing. Image has the link for the UK distributor

you've made your bike look like Dame Edna Everage (maybe only UK & Australian members will get this)

Today I fitted the RAM mount for my Garmin 2610 and fitted the Oxford X30 tankbag. Then rode 50 miles to get a Tutoro chain oiler from the factory in Lydney.

Spotted something on the UK versions of Ebay or Amazon that suits the MT09 Tracer, then post a link in this thread. I'll start with this mirror extender I posted elsewhere in the forum Perhaps the mods could make this a sticky thread

Just looking at mirror extension options for those of us in the UK - an Ebay seller in Taiwan has these for under 11 UK pounds inc shipping. Also in silver Is 10mm the correct size as the vendor has an 8mm option as well? On the test ride I found I was looking at my elbows a lot, so I might get some after I've had a while to get used to the bike.
