  1. I have the givi bars fitted and i have not experienced any vibration or noise. They are pretty solid but mine came with poor quality bolts. I ended up ordering new bolts to replace them.
  2. The panniers look great and i also like the tft screen. I am not a fan of the front end as it looks too much like a transformer for my taste.
  3. Yes, it looks good on your bike. I have just about had enough of the stock screen. I get a bit of buffering but the main problem is that it directs the flies at my visor. I tried one of those deftectors but it was too heavy for the screen and just bounced about. Going to order the light smoke.👍
  4. I like the new side case design. Looks like they now might even fit a helmet.
  5. I paid about £124 back in March. It shouldn't mater where you bought the bike as its work for there garage.
  6. What am i like thinking the chain will tighten when its hot 🤪. Thanks for replies everyone.
  7. Hi All, Yesterday i adjusted my chain cold to 35mm. I went for a ride and noticed lots of vibration on the feet when changing gear. I went home and adjusted it to 45mm and all now ok. My thinking is that even at 35mm the chain will tighten when it gets hot. Just thought i would mention this if people are experiencing vibes in the foot pegs and gear leaver.
  8. I have also fitted the R&G extended and was concerned at how close it was to the tyre. I haven't had an issue with it and used epoxy glue to fit it instead of the sticky pads and screws. I took the whole fender off the bike and clamped the two parts together while the glue was going off. This was you can make sure the fender extender is perfectly straight.
  9. I also had to travel to get a good deal on the same bike here in the UK. Enjoy the bike, its one of the best i have owned.
  10. I finally fitted the Givi engine guards. I ended up buying a full set of replacement bolts as the ones supplied looked to be low quality and had damaged threads. I am happy with the install, but did find the lower bolt a pain. I ended up supporting the bike from above so no weight was on the side or centre stand.
  11. Thanks, i have looked at all the other brands of rack and the Yamaha does look the best option. The Givi and Shad all require alot of parts to be fitted. Having had Givi racks before it wont been too long before all that steelwork is rusty. The Hepco and Becker rack looks like it fits well but its about twice the price. Going to go with the Yamaha rack and 39L box. 👍
  12. Hi, I am looking to get a top box for my 2019 Tracer 900. I like the look of the Yamaha rack and the way it fits. Does anyone know if its compatible with other top boxes ? Looking at the pictures it looks similar to the Shad mount.
  13. Same happened to me today. The first i knew of it was when i indicated to turn right, no light on the display or indicator. I parked up and turned the bike off and back on again and all ok now. I guess i will need to check the indicators are working when i set off.
