TracerDoc Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hey i though it was time i give something back for all the helpful advice i been getting from the forums so far. So i thought i will list up stuff i have done to the bike and prolly do small write ups on pros and cons and what to watch out, if its worth it etc as time goes by. The steed is coming along nicely for the 2019 trips the more warm days with rain in it means the time you spend in garage goes up. Dayum, I almost feel like a bike show kind of guy. No miles all styles First thing gone, giant pumpkin blinkers : Yamaha led blinker / tried eBay one first of course. Not bright at all to be unsafe lvl Short MRA screen : clean air > buffet or barn door evotech rad guard functional eBay CNc mirror : again smaller foot print size and reduced wind buffeting in the cockpit Chinese fake Powerbronze adv beak. Not fitted for GT, with some minor tweaking and adjusting it fit. Finally most expensive crap for the bike I spend, yoshimura full system. Guilt of wasting money melted away after a short rip around the local area. Now bike sounds like a tRRrRipple since weather is no where improving I thing I will continue to tweak and mod. So far haven’t touched any vital and important stuff of bike. Gonna keep all those oem intact like the suspension and stuff which is working wonderful for my puny weight. Going to rebadge that awful “goo” logo then put on crash protection and couple of aux lights and I am done gonna call him Garuda after a character from Indian mythology hehe (angry bird was more appropriate but don’t have a personalized name to it 😂) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe72t Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 You've been busy! I kind of like the beak. Looks like the colour matches pretty well. Can you post the info link on where you bought it from? Cost? ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post the info link on where you bought it from? Cost? ty The gloss just make it appear like that on the pic, it’s different matte color finish. honestly it’s not a perfect fitment. Gaps in between etc if your stickler for that you won’t like it. Just for a difference you can try it. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123293908966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepmh Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 nice. I am not a huge fan of the beak, but if you like it, go for it! I've done a bunch of mods to my GT as well, and there is nothing better than personalizing it to make it yours I think I am up to 22-ish mods/changes so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBW01 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Looking good! Will LED turn sigs plug right into the system and function properly with the OEM flasher and indicators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlambke19 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I have the same MRA screen - and absolutely love it, but for the life of me, I cannot get the edging to stay on. I contacted MRA customer support in Germany and they said to glue it on. That seems like a cheesy solution that could get real messy. What was your solution?

Rob Rob, I have a slightly taller MRA screen on my GT and I didn't bother trying to install the edge piping; just left it off and never looked back. Works very well for me. 2 1 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (Annabelle) 2013 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Juliette) 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 (Rachel) 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S (Fiona) 2006 Honda VFR800 (Jenny) 2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Hannah) 2003 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 (Veronica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob ton of patience and lot of elbow grease. And after a week it slowly starting to come off on one particular tricky curvy section. Rest is holding up. 21 hours ago, RBW01 said: Looking good!

Works very well for me. I have also left mine off. Would like to "polish" or smooth the edges a bit as they look unfinished. I'm thinking some light buffing wheel on a Dremel would do the trick, but not sure it's worth the bother. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Substitute that light buffing time for a nice road trip that pays you in "miles of big smiles." 😉 2 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (Annabelle) 2013 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Juliette) 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 (Rachel) 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S (Fiona) 2006 Honda VFR800 (Jenny) 2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Hannah) 2003 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 (Veronica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
