patsmith Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Installed my remapped ECU and removed my evap cannister. To much rain here in Sacramento to ride today when all was done. Planning to get out tomorrow if the weather co-operates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panooch Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 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. Givi soft bags. The rear peg brackets are the primary tie down points and rear grab handles removed so the bags can ride higher, avoiding rear tire rub. I ended up using black tape on contact points to avoid rub through on painted surfaces under rear seat. I have Givi Monokey E21, E360 set up but waiting for a better mount kit I guess. So these are working reasonably well. I like the nighttime reflective protection also and their lighter then a hard luggage system which is nice. I believe they're discontinued and might be getting a bit harder to find. I see Competition Accessories still lists them link, Givi SV201's but I think there were two sizes. I got the smaller ones and only had to expand them once so far. So plenty of room. Also added Kuryakyn link license plate attachment for helmet lock. There's always better, or soon will be, but the system has worked well for my needs.

checkereddemon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I really *like* your backrest solution!! I did something like that with an '83 GL-1100 Gold Wing. Man, that bike could EAT up highway miles. And, for such a big bike, I could hustle it thru the turns pretty smartly too. Having a driver backrest is, IMHO, mandatory if you're serious about long daze in the saddle... -CD- -CD- 2015 Yamaha FJ-09: RaceTech Gold Valves, RaceTech Rear Spring, Arrow Full Exhaust - black with w/Carbon Fibre endcap, ECU Flash, Lowered 20mm front, 15 mm rear, Denali driving lights, Fenda Extenda, Tail Tidy, Corbin Seat, Madstad 22" Windshield, OEM heated grips, Woodcraft frame sliders, Grip Puppies, BadAss Cover (Large)....

panooch Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Do you need to install some hardware to keep the bags from rubbing om the tires? No, Givi SV201 do not need additional hardware brackets. But I do recommend adjusting them up high. You can also use bungee's to pull the two carry handles together and with the tops pulled towards each other, the bottoms will never bounce in towards the tire. I carry a small tool pouch on the passenger's seat between the two bags and the bungee also holds this in place so it works out well for me. These aren't OEM so one should plan just a bit of tinkering, as with most soft bags, to get them the way you want. Four bungee cords supplied that I adjusted the length and ends on to fit how I wanted. They're on and off the bike in one or two minutes. Very simple.

milo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Today I installed pyramid plastix front fender extender. It took about an hour. I had to remove the fender, 4 hex screws, then the brake line holders, clean, stick extender on with included foam tape, drill 4 mm (5/32) holes then install plastic rivits. There is a good video on Youtube. Then install fender. The wlole thing took about an hour. I don't know why in the hell motorcycle manufacturers don't put real fenders on (most Harley's and a few other bikes excepted) and let the squids just cut them back where they want or for hipsters remove them all together? I have had to add an extender to almost every bike, both front and rear on the FJ-09. FWIW I don't drill and screw/bolt to the fenders. I simply scuff sand both surfaces and clean with alcohol then supplement the adhesive strips with epoxy made for plastic clamping overnight, and have never had one come loose in the slightest.

Why did you take the fender off? I did it easily while on the bike. Just FYI for people considering doing this. Just don't drill too deep.

milo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 For scuffing and cleaning the surfaces then using epoxy and clamping the fender has to come off. If drilling and using screws I guess work with it on the bike but it's only a few screws to remove the fender. You're right though don't drill into the tire. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member fanowater Posted January 21, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 21, 2016 Added the Sw Motech Alu-Rack and remounted the front fender after gluing in a carbon fiber fender extender. You can also see the Spiegler steel braded lines - very stealthy in black. Cheers 2015 FJ-09 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
