Let us know what direction you go and how you like your choice.

I don't see creepy. Seems like he thinks things out and has a plan for what he wishes to convey. I like his style, (just watched his youtube on loading a bike on a truck) but can see where some could say lets go already. He would make a good flight instructor.

Nice work 2and3clyinders, I'm off to google DS, VHB, HB and HDABS 😁 I notice the left switch pod for the Super Tenere is 2BS-83954-00-00 and the one for the MT-10 is B67-83954-00-00. Same number in the middle, wonder if they are the same part?

While ordering a McCruise I asked if I was to attempt to use stock pod components like others have, would I be better of ordering the new slim switch or the first gen control switch. Here was the response from Tony - McCruise Director... 'Please DO NOT try! It will simply create massive headaches for you – and US!' I do agree it is probably a liability issue. I will see how I wish to proceed when the unit arrives. I went with the new slim switch as I like the look of it placed horizontally as shown earlier by 2and3cylinders in this thread. Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Turns out the left pod switch I ordered was from a MT-10. I just purchased a slim switch McCruise for my 2017. I contacted McCruise about replacing left hand pod hand switch on the FJ-09 for their cruise control, with compatible ones like others here have and got the following response... Hi XXXXXX, I am afraid putting OEM switches in combination with our kits is impractical. You lose virtually all functionality without our switch and the patch harnesses required are extremely expensive to make and connectors near impossible to source. Consequently, we don’t make them anymore. Sorry we can’t help. If you still want a kit, please choose from our array of switches. Best regards, Tony Guymer, Director

The forcite helmet has ceramic batteries which won’t explode/ignite on impact. Regarding battery life, I wonder if one could recharge with a rechargeable brick like device available for phones?

What aftermarket options would you like to see for the Niken that are not available? Do the offerings for the FJ09/Tracer mostly work?

Thanks Betoney but Daz and Draco are the men. I'm just a follower. I don't even know how to add @betoney to my posts 🙃 (Just got the smiley face things down)

Thanks guys. I will be in contact with McCruise as soon as my part arrives and I have a better idea what it is. Updates to follow.

Here is a pic of the part I ordered from the Netherlands. It was advertised as from the MT-10. It has all the right switches, fingers crossed.

Thanks .. betoney / dazzler24. I do understand there is more than just the switch pod. I plan on ordering the McCruise and want the install to look stock. I have the MT-10 switch pod on order and hope it will completely replace my FJ switch pod, just separating out the CC wires for the McC. This would seems the simplest option for me. Daz, one more question. I noticed you didn't backlight the on/off button. If that button is backlit can it do the job of the multicolor LED (red/yellow/orange/green) you installed?

I just ordered a used switch pod from a '17 MT-09 from Europe for $70. Fingers crossed. The MT-10 also comes equipped with a cruise control system that can be activated in 4th, 5th and 6th gears between 50km/h and 180km/h. A switch on the left handlebar turns the cruise control on or off, and once it is activated, the Yamaha Chip Controlled throttle (YCC-T) maintains the selected speed of the bike whether riding uphill, downhill or on a level road. Speeds can be increased in 2km/h increments with a push of the switch, and any setting is automatically cancelled by activating the brakes, clutch or throttle – while the ‘Resume’ switch restores he cruise control to its last-used speed.

I would like to add CC to my '17 FJ-09 with the FJR/XTZ switches in the FJ housing. Only thing missing from this thread is a list of parts needed for those of us who are not so smart with electronics. That way I could get a helper over when all parts are collected. What other Yamaha's have the same switches....MT10? I wonder if this MT10 switch assembly would cover everything? MT-10 Left Switches Nice job on proving this is possible.

Here you go...

See this. Not sure if it has been done on the FJ/Tracer?

I'm in PA and in and out of Philly weekly. Originally from Youghal by the sea. Welcome to the club. https://youghal.ie/

Does the 2122DT need the additional Givi kit for mounting or can it use the stock hardware?

This thread takes me back to a daytrip to Tillamook with ice cream, when I lived in Portland. Fun times on the beautiful Oregon coast beaches. Leave only foot-prints, or in this case tire tracks. 🙂

Got my stock side-stand shortened by 1.5 inches and powder coated. Much more solid that the aftermarket adjustable stand as an iron bar was put inside (yes it was hollow). The hook for the spring was removed and welded back on after the main leg was cut and welded back together.

I don't think I could ride my bike to the North Pole to make a return so I'm considering adding the quick release. I found a few examples and would like feedback from those who may have used them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB4bulLrqmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMb_pKv7xCo

Got a new helmet with double D ring strap. My old one has a Quick Release Pull Buckle strap. Can anyone recommend an aftermarket quick release buckle to replace the double D rings? I would like to think that it would be an upgrade but am unsure of the safety aspects?
