mellow

Well... I did a couple years ago.. From: To: Love the RT. But that being said, the changes applied to the 9 GT+ are very interesting. I would NOT trade the RT, the Tracer would be a 2nd bike and I actually wish I would have kept the 900 GT but the dealership gave me a stupid trade in price that I never thought I'd even get from a private sale so it just made sense. I thought about the Suzuki but still too much of a sport bike riding position for me.

FJ-09, MT-09, Tracer 900, Tracer 900 GT Offset Bar Risers 25mm $60 shipped.

Prefer local pickup. $250

Just did @Clegg78's mod and I'm using the Corbin seat and it appears to be a good mod. I can tell the difference just sitting on the bike. I haven't had any saddle time with it yet but will report back when I can.

I ditched the oem cases and went with givi Dolomiti bags, no exhaust cutout on them so the should mount to whatever my next bike might be for the cost of a givi mount. Plus they are top loading which is way more useful than the clamshell cases lol

I had one on my Super Tenere and it was a great seat. He had too long of a wait when I got my bike so I just went w/Corbin as a gamble and it worked out better than I expected.

ooops... Sorry.. duh.... Corbin - edited.

lol... all the dimensions are in liters, millimeters, kilograms and CCs ... Not my cup of tea which is fine. Would take 2 Tracers over that.

CORBIN [1] Compared to stock seat, it is 5) considerably more comfortable [2] Compared to stock seat, 4) slope is a bit better NOTE: Didn't ride the bike for 1.5 years... then went on a trip Day 1 - 600 miles, following 4 days around 400 mile average.. last day 1145 miles in 16 hrs... the seat never even came to mind. The mirrors though.. ugh!

Riding through Colorado and Wyoming a couple weeks ago.

I prefer grip buddies.. they use velcro so in the winter you can take them off to feel the heated grips but then put them back on. https://www.originalbeemerbuddies.com/

Mine pops some, I like it.

I didn't ride my bike for 1.5 years due to work and covid. Then, did a trip through TX-CO-WY-SD and back to TX. Day 1 was 600 miles and the following days were between 350-500. The last day was 1145 from SD to TX. The Corbin seat was great and never had any pain other than the usual for just getting used to the bike again. The stock seat is a torture device.

I've tried a bunch of things myself... I agree the only solution is aftermarket... they aren't that different than the Tenere but I never had problems on that bike... maybe it's just slower lol...

Really like my Corbin... did 1145 miles in 16 hours this last weekend, no pain at all. You can put the front in the higher position and reduce some of the forward slope, there's still some but it's not bad and you get used to it.

Sorry for the late reply. I used these, one hole for rigid lights and one for the denalis Amazon.com

Nice!... I went with this approach.

That will work, but I ended up with one of these replacing one of the handlebar clamp bolts: https://twistedthrottle.com/shop/electronics/phone-and-gps-mounts/mount-bases/ram-motorcycle-base-w-hole-m8-screw/

What's the part number for the recall?

Yeah... I do miss that.... great sound.

Yeah, I had 2 Super Tens and I would have no problem at all going back to one, and may still one day. I previously rode an ST1300 and I've never ridden and FJR but have sat on a few and the weight would be an issue with me. I like something I can easily move around the garage or back up when I'm sitting on it if I accidentally park at a decline. I also had a couple GL1800s and boy, that reverse gear is a dream, you just don't know until you have one... especially for us short guys. The wings also had a lower center of gravity being flat 6s vs inline or twins so getting on one and getting off the side stand was almost like it was a 300 lbs bike... the ST1300 and even Super Tens had more effort and reminded you you didn't want to drop one. Love the new wings and the DCT but boy... that price would be a tough pill to swallow but once you did you'd be ridding high.. lol One thing I didn't like about the wings is they were so smooth and calm when touring that I would get drowsy during interstate runs.. not good.. I found out a bike with less wind protection that wasn't as smooth allowed me to stay alert longer. If I did 20k / year... I'd either pull the trigger on a Wing or go with the Super Ten. If they upgrade the super ten again, I had the 2012 version and then the 2014.... I might still get another one. You will miss the light weight of the Tracer and that engine... wow... nothing compares that I've ridden, or can afford, so far.
