Bimbim18 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 So our GTs come with hard cases. I kinda want a slightly larger sidecase so I can carry spare helmets. Supposedly the only difference between our 900GT sidecases and the FJR1300 cases is the lids. Is it possible to just swap the lids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Unless Yamaha changed the mounts for the GT (which I'm 99% sure they didnt)... yes. Several forum members have decided to go this route on their FJs/Tracers '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmev Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I got both of these off ebay for less than $100 shipped. Just needed to fill a few scratches and then paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wide do the FJR panniers make the bike? He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Where did you get the paint for the Matt blue GT paint? Were they sprayed professionally or at home using spray cans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The fjr bags came in the phantom blue color. However I got a belly pan painted for the bike professional.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the stock color scheme of the GT, I would've liked the grey/red combo better than the blue/grey/black combo. I was wondering how it would look if I just turned the grey pieces black. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 My understanding is that GTs are built in one of three colour schemes. I quite like all three, but if given a choice when buying would go for the bike first pictured as I rather like the red touches, not over-done. The last one is said to be the sole choice here Down Under, but without the black-painted pannier lids. Booshamecheap! Have not seen one on the road yet, and given the scarcity of Gen 1 Tracers don't expect to do so any time soon. Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I own the blue GT. The stock pics depict the black and grey models fairly accurately, but, you really do have to see the blue in the flesh to get a feel for it. The colour changes slightly in the light and is beautiful, however, i may be slightly biased since I own one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
