  1. Let me update this topic. After skipperTs advice, I looked for the right bolts. However the problem was about the mount itself. It was for a Tracer 700. I looked up for the right mount but unfortunately, the hard saddlebags were not available for '15-'17 Tracers in Europe and even Yamaha Europe didn't have the part number. So I did some checks and purchased a hard saddle bag mount compatible with FJ09s in the US. It hasn't arrived yet, however I realized there is a warning on the installation instruction: "Do not install this kit on MT-09 Tracer Models. Installed side bags may have an adverse effect on handling at speeds over 130 km/h." But on the other side, there is another warning about FJ09s "Do not exceed 80 mph (130kph) with side cases installed. It sounds like a justification of "why Yamaha is not selling hard cases in Europe for '15-'17 Tracers". But let me ask you all this, what is the design difference between 2015-2017 FJ-09 and Tracer 900? Do you think this warning has a basis in terms of design difference of these two models or just a marketing justification?

     

    Thanks guys.
