Those are the bags that I will be going with. I really like soft bags and they don't break when you low side or drop the bike. And the reflection is an awesome safety feature.
 

 Do you use any racks to support them?

I bet you're itching to try out the new beast.  It'll come ... sooner for you than me. 😉

And you’re absolutely right on both counts (I guess). It was 15C last Wednesday on my way to work…

Absolute crap winter for snowmobiling around here.  Tempting to get a bike out of storage.  Roads are still filthy and everything freezes most nights but the afternoons have been pretty tempting.

Anyone managed to get in some miles?

If not the fact that I had to go to work it could’ve been my opening of the riding season day. Around 2-3 o’clock it was sunny and 9-10C. Perfect time for a ride and specially that roads are pretty clean after last heavy rain.

Surprisingly fast got the luggage rack and skid plate for my 2019. Luggage rack installed. Skid plate and Givi top case mounting plate waiting for tomorrow.

Just ordered a beak, skid plate, LED lights, tank pads, luggage rack, engine covers protection, wheel strips and mesh seat covers for my new (to me) 2019 Tracer. Should get few of them at the end of February and another few at the beginning of March. Just enough time to have it ready for riding season here in Canada and my first ride on it.

Last ride back in December after my return from Europe. Sold it in January. 3 weeks later got 2019 Tracer but haven’t had a chance to ride it yet. Just farkling…and added few reflective stripes to the front end for extra visability at night.

That is a beautifully presented FJ!  I dare say you will be on the farkling track with your new steed before too long.

Thank you. I’ll have a chance to see her pretty often since my riding buddy got it. And yes few extras transferred already from FJ to Tracer and ordering few more right now.

I sold my red beauty FJ09 3 weeks ago and couldn’t stand my empty garage. Replaced with 2019 Tracer 900 couple of days ago.

I truly can't answer that question , sorry mate.

 

It seems like FJ09 only so 2015-17.

Any pictures of her in the bath? 😉🤣

Would you take a picture of your girlfriend taking a bath and post it on the internet?

Perfect timing, was just cleaning out my garage and I have my leftover top case + sidecases from the old FJ09:

I have a V47 top case with the brake light kit installed. NOTE: I don't have the wiring harness that connects to the wiring in the bike, you'd have to find that or email Givi and see if they're willing to send you out that piece of the kit . Keyed to match V37 sidecases below.

A pair of the V37 sidecases that are keyed to match the V47 top case. NOTE: I have and will include the inner liner bags in sale.

Also a Givi Outback 42 for if you want the guaranteed waterproof on a rainy day.

The V37 use Givi's rapid release holders which I think are pretty snazzy: you can take the entire racks off the bike in a minute with a single tool when you know you're just going out for a joy ride.

For the Tracer 900 the side case holders are PLXR2139, rear rack for is SR2139.

DM me if you you're interested and want pictures. The Outback 42 has some stickers from my travels, the V37 have a little bit of wear on them from catching bugs and small stones. The V47 is pretty clean.

I know I'm not technically in Canada but I am about 90 minutes from Detroit so I thought I'd mention it if you felt like making the drive to meet up or if shipping ends up not being a huge cost since the distance isn't that great.

Thanks for the respond. I do have V47 already but what you’ll be asking for Givi V37 set?

Congratulations.

Your wife knows about your new girlfriend and yet you're giving her a bath at 4:00 in the morning?

Sounds pretty clandestine to me. 😉

That’s because she also knows that she is the # 1 for life and “girlfriends” I’m changing every year. I compared the size of the windscreens and seems like the one you have will be to tall for me. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.

She is my girlfriend (according to my wife) so I won’t share…beside that 0 degrees C up here.

Thanks Heavy. Just came back. Picking it up on Friday. It is stock base model but I  already have nice Givi V47 top case waiting for it (purchased today btw), radiator guard, Yamaha adventure foot pegs, Zumo GPS, 2 SW tank bags and windscreen wind deflector lol. Still will need top case luggage rack for it, some side cases and mounting racks. Eventually engine guards as well…so far so good though. It got 2 wheels…

Picked her up few hours ago. Windscreen wind deflector, clutch and brake short adjustable levers, radiator grill, gps, SW Motech quick release tank bag, adventure foot pegs, kickstand foot enlargement installed. And … she got a bath.

Good luck.  I hope the roads aren't too messy.  😒

Dunno about extra support, it was just bolted to the stock holes when I picked up the bike.  Everything lined up and seemed okay when I dragged it home.  Don't think I got it over 120 on the highway and couldn't see it very well in my mirrors but everything was still in place when I pulled in my driveway.

The previous owner had the OEM shield in a bag.

Measurements:

27" tall

19" wide, at the widest, near the top

18.5" wide, at the widest, near the bottom

14" wide, at the narrowest, near the middle

Thanks Heavy for the measurements and pictures. I’m picking it up tomorrow and will be able to compare it to the stock one.

There was no hardware ... it was just bolted up, using the stock fasteners.

It looks like it should fit, no problem.

What do you think it fair?  $75 sound okay?

Hi Heavy. I just watched video and it shows it comes with extra support kit. Price wise it seems ok but I would like to check that stock first before I pull the trigger on it. In meanwhile, can you please measure it for me and let me know how tall and wide it is? I would like to compare it to the stock one. Thanks.

Hey Rick.  Congrats on the new bike.  I have a GIVI windscreen I'm not using.  It came with my bike.  I switched back to the stock screen before even trying the GIVI (wanted to see how horrible the stocker was).  The stock screen with a clip-on spoiler works for me (benefit of being a hunched old man, I guess 😉).  Not sure how long the previous owner had it on the bike but it's close to perfect condition.

 

Hi Heavy and thank You. Just thinking that maybe that I should try stock windscreen first. Also after some reading it seems like this particular Givi windscreen if it fits 2019 GT it might not fit 2019 base model. Does it come with all mounting hardware. Also how much would you ask for it?

LOL, I know this guy with some FJR bags that should hang right on to that Tracer 900 (if the brackets are there on non-GT)..... if you want them back, lemme know.  Or, if you want the smaller GT (22L) 'city' cases, I can keep my eyes open.

Unfortunately no brackets on this one. Lol. But for now I should be ok with just a top case. Thanks for your offer though.

I’m getting Tracer900 this week and will need top case rack, panniers with mounting racks and engine guards. If you have any of these that you don’t need let me know please. Thank you.

Getting Tracer 900 and will need: aftermarket windscreen, top case rack, some luggage, luggage mounting racks and engine guards. If you have any of these let me know please. Thanks.
