robebone Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hey guys do you think an MT-09 tail tidy will fit on the Tracer GT? I cant seem to find one i like the look of. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The older Tracer and MT09 tail tidies won't fit the GT due to the hard luggage. The only one that I know of that will fit is the R&G one but the indicators get hidden behind the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robebone Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 what about new mt09 ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The MT-09 doesn't have hard panniers so tail tidies will be too wide for the GT. Be careful when buying tail tidies for the GT as they often don't bother factoring in the panniers. Evotech had this and in an email they told me they should fit even though i clearly demonstrated to them that they won't by providing measurements. They now carry a disclaimer saying they won't fit with hard luggage but still list them as compatible with the GT. Go figure??!!! R&G racing are the only ones i saw that actually have a pic with the tail tidy and panniers so they are the only ones i would trust at this stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fddriver2 Posted August 23, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted August 23, 2019 The R&G tail tidy for 2019 Tracer GT will work on older FJ-09's. I have a 2015 and it went on with no problems. The turn signals will be behind the sidecases when they are on. And the original "pumpkins" may fit but it will be close. Too close to call without actually trying it. "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

flyfifer Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I found a good use for the number plate mounting steelwork this morning. I have a Kriega 1litre? pouch ( they are intended to go on the strap of a Kriega Rucksack) that I keep a few tools in. It is too bulky for underseat storage and I have been scratching my head where to put it. The pouch fits perfectly along the steel work. I have supplemented the velcro strap with a releasable zip tie. Job done. Edited August 23, 2019 by flyfifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&G, Puig and Yoshimura are some of the most overpriced ones out there. I'm just trying to save you some money, the R&G piece is 6x the cost of the one that @2and3cylinders linked. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
