TomTracer Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 What soft saddlebags are you using on 2020 tracer 900gt? Has anyone added tie down/lashing options for strapping on duffles, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member dazzler24 Posted July 12, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted July 12, 2021 Not sure if there are points that these will go on a 2020 but might offer you some ideas at least? I've used them on my 2015 in the past to good effect. 8mm mounting hole 10mm rise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butrzrulz Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just curious, but why soft bags instead of the factory hard bags? Capacity? You can easily increase capacity by changing to the the FJR "lids". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTracer Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thx, helpful info. I'll have to check my rack for mounting bolt positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More capacity will be very beneficial vs a PITA duffle thrown across the seat. Soft bags are beneficial from being expandable usually, to scratching and breaking in something as simple as a parking lot bike drop. Thanks by the way for the suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yeah I don't like the look of the new panniers for the latest GT, IMHO the perfect size/solution is the previous panniers with FJR lids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but I got a user manual for FJR1300 cases in my tracer GT cases. The lid part numbers are : 5JW-W9340-0L-XX AND 5JW-W9340-0R-XX But, for some reason, they are crazy expensive.

draco_1967 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have an SW Motech luggage rack on the back, which has a solid grab handle for strapping a duffle to the pillion seat. I also use a Green Chili ADV Uprising soft rack. It offers a lot of flexibility in strapping bags to the bike. I didn't buy a GT for a few different reasons, and the factory luggage was one. I just didn't care for it. I also use the same setup on my "dual-sport" bike, so I don't have to pack any differently for my trips. The dry bags aren't quick access like hard saddlebags, but anything I need to access quickly goes in the top case or tank bag anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
