How do you remove the side cover from the OEM hard cases?   It looks like the hinges are riveted... 

Thanks and Thanks :)

Just got a quicklock (Quadlock) mount and set it up in the middle of the handlebar on a 2019 Tracer, fits perfectly and out of the way.   Also got a usb charger for the aux on the left side.  Does anyone know of a short USB to lightning connector cord that would hold up well and reach without being all over the place?

That too. Glasses are much easier to wear in a modular helmet. 

+1, easier to wear, easier to put the glasses on, easier to take them off when you need to clean them, and easier to wipe fog off them when riding :)

Heated seat has me sitting a bit higher on the bike than the stock seat.   Not a huge difference, but the low position of the adjustment now feels about equal to where the high position was before going to the heated comfort seat

Could...  SW motech actually makes a mount that connects to the daypack if I really want to go that route too

Heated seat is done

Main thing for me would be mounting it a bit higher,   once I put my tankbag on the center of the bar is right at the edge of the sight line

I understand that you can but... why would you? 🤷‍♀️

Rode through a bunch of states after the travel restrictions got lifted     Having done that I find having a filter reduces the allergy crap I deal with on a ride.  Might actually make it a standard part of my EDC gear through the worse air quality and pollen count days.  Didn't find it very restrictive at all, although I'm used to wearing filters from my old workplace so YMMV...  

Had to take the seat bracket off to get the power wire.   4 allen bolts.  left the seat locking mechanism attached.  you can try to unbolt it, but mine is either glued or welded in place,  likely glued and you don't need to fully remove it, just move it aside.

Looks like Printed Parts makes the mount I was thinking of.  I'd want to remove the ball mount and attach the Beeline Moto directly in that spot...

I'm considering adding this or something like it

A little while ago I saw someone had made a mount for attaching a ball to the windshield adjuster without needing to drill through it.  I can't seem to find the post that contained that, but I'm wondering if someone could make a means to mount something like this to the adjuster handle without needing a permanent nor sticky modification to the bike?

In our lovely we need masks now world... I can fit a proper KN95 headstrap respirator under a modular helmet.  Not sure I'd try getting a non modular helmet over one.   Plus one on the glasses thing too.

Generally speaking in the US they are not allowed to invalidate a warranty d/t you doing your own work...  Catch is you need to document it.  IE keep your receipts on the materials and keep a log of when you did what.    *This is not legal advice, I am most certainly NOT a lawyer, etc. etc.*

Had the local shop do mine,  Est price was $280 US without the throttle sync, $430 ish with it.   Labor rate around here post covid at 125 an hr.  Found one place under that by a little, but they are scheduled 3 weeks to 2 mo out.

Shoei Neotec or Neotec 2 when I have the money, HJC whatever modular fits my head when I don't :)  Both are good,  Neotec is quieter with a bit better sun visor and I think its a bit easier to install a comm in.

Added the tankring and the radiator guard cover.  Tankring install is really easy, radiator guard is 4/5 busted knuckles dificult.  First service done.  Added the Hardbag mounting brackets and cases on order    2/5 on difficulty.

Congrats :)

Levers came in today   And Installed

Thanks

TBH, Yamaha's shopping website kinda sucks 😕   Doing most of my shopping through Revzilla atm.

Thanks guys for the heads up on the 39L case since thats the one I'm considering...  Why you would not make that match the sidecases I have no idea...   if I do go with that topcase I suspect I'm going to have a conversation with a locksmith...

Still getting through break in , likely to go in for first service Saturday

Installed: ASV C5 shorty levers

Have already: SW-MOTECH 'Daypack' Quicklock EVO Tankbag and may be using a Nelson Rig Tailpack for awhile

On order: EVO tank ring, ASV C5 shorty levers, Evotech radiator guard, lower Hardbag mounting kit from Yamaha, Heated comfort seat from Yamaha

Looking forward to (after I get some of the existing stuff paid off   : Hardcases from Yamaha, Tailpack mount from Yamaha (not sure if I'm going to get the 39L case or just use my soft tailpack) and heated grips (Probably OEM or Oxford). 

Has anyone actually done the OEM heated grips?   Physically wouldn't seem to be a problem, but the 2019 GT ones look to be controlled off the menu (ECU?) and the wiring harness looks to be different between the GT and the regular 900.  IE can they be plugged directly in to the harness and will the "software" actually control them?

Nightime or bad weather riding...  I could see it as a desired mod depending on how each person's vision reacts...

If we're going to insist on building in more "shiny" tech anyway, I'd like to see manufacturers include the ability to change the visuals on the "cluster" as stock.

Nice :)
