Scooter426 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Any one tried these? https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/mpo/d/yamaha-fz-09-sw-motech/6402005283.html They are from an FZ09 so they may or may not fit. They do have brackets that hold the bags in place so they do not hit the tire/swingarm. I am planning to take my bike over and try them on the bike before buying. Just curious... -Scoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enx Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have them. Bags an brackets of FZ fits on FJ. Bags stays in place while riding, and they don't swing around. They are expandable from 14L to 21L each. You can carry them around like normal luggage bag, beacause they are very easy deatchable, and they have a handle.

trokarr Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have these bags. Decent bags for trips up to about a week. They are not waterproof but come with plastic liners. Like all SW Motech stuff, it is a quality product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwicanuck Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Same bags but different bracket as a guess looking at the part numbers, shame as it’s a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlmiskelly Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I have these identical bags with different braces on an FZ8 and absolutely love them. They hold enough for a day or two road trip; simple to put on and take off, they are easy to take with you into a hotel room or tent. 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 and 2018 Yamaha XSR700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter426 Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 The FZ09 mounting brackets did not fit on the FJ09. I was able to make them work on the left side. The right side required a custom fab bracket to mount to the rear footpeg in the correct place. The FZ mounting location does not work on the FJ because of clearance issues with the rear brake reservoir. I did make it work by fabbing a custom bracket, however. I also sent an email to SW Motech directly to see if they would send the correct bracket to me. It would look a bit cleaner to have the correct part.

enx Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I've always taught they fit from FZ to FJ, because they have the same frame. My bad :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted December 23, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted December 23, 2017 I've always taught they fit from FZ to FJ, because they have the same frame. My bad They have the same main frame but the rear sub-frames are different. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
