Let's see how this goes 🤔 UPDATE from the order I placed on the 10th. No communication from Cyclepartsnation since they charged my card $260. I reached out to them only to be told the case has been discontinued and I would be refunded the money. Not a Big Fan of CyclePartsNation and how they do business 😠 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted February 23 Supporting Member Share Posted February 23 It seems a lot of companies are happy to hold your money for as long as they can, and often don't let you know parts are out of stock till you contact them. I've been through the same scenario a few times. It is really frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you may want to check with them first before ordering. Cycle Parts Nation, Yamaha Sports Plaza, and Babbit's Online all seem to have the same menu system and available stock - they must share stock or otherwise be affiliated with each other. I think you were right on target when you posted that @knyte! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBikers Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 No top cases or racks were available in the USA when I purchased my 2021 T9 so I ended up buying a SHAD 45 and rack for the T9. Got it right away. Since then I purchased a SH34 top case and the SHAD click lock 9L tank bag. I was browsing at the dealer last Monday and they have a 2024 T9GT+ on the floor. Well I just had to throw a leg over it and found that it comes with the comfort seat as stock. Hmmm, it feels good and supportive of the sit bones. So I asked if I could order one for my 2021, however, no comfort seat is listed in the USA. On a hunch we checked the accessory list for the 2024 and the seat is available in the USA so I bought one. It's mounting is identical to all T9s.☺️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motochick Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Update: I really liked the look and build quality of the Yamaha Top Case Rack even though it appears to be a PITA to install. I got a deal on a SHAD 39 case so I was on way to DIY'ing the SHAD plastic universal mount on the Yamaha rack. I would check ebay one last time for any Yamaha 39L top case in the USA, and I found one, new...pulled the trigger.. 🤞 Let's hope this one arrives so I can have the setup I intended for a secure Top Case. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 On my year GT, the install was taking off the seat and removing 2 easily accessible bolts, and then replacing with included longer bolts. So what's different on the new model to make it a PITA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instructions are crap and some of the panel removals aren't intuitive. Silver body pieces slide forward when removed - not simple clip-ons. Paneer hanger bolts were a b*tch and had to be aligned properly when re-installed - I used a #5 allen key to keep it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy01 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 For future reference, and I’m not sure this is still the case, but the Yamaha boxes are actually made by Shad. They’re just re-badged as Yamaha. And pricing is usually the same with no uplift applied by Yamaha. So, if there’s a shortage of Yamaha boxes in the US, you can be sure the Shad will fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Shad 39L and it does not fit the Yamaha Rack pictured at the top of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBikers Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Correct, the mounting is different for the SHAD and Yamaha racks. BTW, even within the SHAD product line there are differences in the way the top cases are mounted. I suppose you can dril the Yamaha rack to bolt on the SHAD mounting plate or rig something up.l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 1 Premium Member Share Posted March 1 For Shad, even between sizes, the racks are different. It can be confusing which rack fits which box. My SH46 rack works with the SH29 box but you must check interchangeability. No idea if the Yami boxes even fit the Shad racks but you'd think they would!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SH34 fits the SHAD SH45 base but the SH45 does not fit on the SH34 base. The SH34 base is smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrot722 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) I'm considering the GIVI 47 L top case for my 2020 Tracer 900GT I just purchased with 1400 miles on it. I have not decided if the optional light kit is worth the cost. Any thoughts on why this is a bad Idea? I have selected the aluminum mounting plate. I have a smaller top case on my FJ09, it has saddle bags also. I could use a little more room for solo overnight trips. All thought comments and suggestions are welcome. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/yamaha-rear-rack-top-case-mount-tracer-900-gt-2019?sku_id=1598815 https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-v47-monokey-topcase https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-monolock-monokey-top-case-plates?sku_id=1644607 I prefer not to buy from China, but was looking at these.
