Supporting Member texscottyd Posted March 12, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 @Squid4Life - I run with the bags on the bike 99% of the time, so just flat-mounting the license plate to the stock assembly & going with the Super Tenere LED signals was all it took to clean up the rear of my FJ. Obviously, that doesn’t really address your question, however... Here’s a really slick idea that a forum member came up with previously. Basically a sliding assembly for the signals and plate to adjust for the bags being on or off. Depending on how industrious you’re feeling, it shouldn’t be too hard to replicate the concept: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riding_tall Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I went the Yosh and small LED blinker route. Yosh works well, looks good to me but is a bit pricey for what it is. Works great with my soft bag's and I assume it would work with the hard bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuff Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I always make my own. For this bike I added a piece of cut and shaped aluminium to the factory stalk. Added some bright led's and plate lights as well. The zip ties are there only because I don't trust the tiny plate light bolts. I'm sure something like this would work with saddle bags.

I assume the small blinkers and tail tidy are to minimise the untidy appearance of the OE parts, but then he goes and hangs this bloody great shipping container off the back of the bike! What gives?

nhchris Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Wow, that is a BIG top case!! Here's my question (for all you folks running top cases....) Given the FJ is by nature already light in the front end and speed restricted as a result, why make the situation worse by adding a top case waaay back behind the rear wheel where its effect will be amplified? Seems like that's asking for trouble in the form of head-shake and increased instability at speed. Correct? cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 That photo is very deceptive due to the angle it has been taken at. Just compare the apparent sizes of the front and rear wheels and you’ll see that the distortion makes the topbox appear massive. But, you’re correct @nhchris, putting a large load in a topbox exacerbates the lightness of the front end. Light stuff only in a topbox, heavier items as low and forwards as possible in side bags/panniers is best. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Maybe - but when loaded... and if you look at the overhang of the top-box on the rear it is not too deceptive. However, diff'rent folks, diff'rent strokes...

nhchris Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I ride solo most of he time and use a tail bag across the pillion seat when touring these days. Keeps the load over or ahead of rear wheel center and gives me a backrest too, which is nice. On a recent ride the bag sagged over the tail light and my riding buddy alerted me to the fact that my brake light was covered up. Not Good! My profile pic to the upper left shows the bag I use. It's not waterproof unfortunately, and everything in it got soaked during one rain-infested ride last fall. I'm thinking of trying one of these , but the capacity seems rather small at 12" by 28" given the price. cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
