Met a couple in Moffat a few weeks ago with a brand new model and coudn't fit their helmrts in the panniers. Had to leave them sitting on the bike when they went for coffee. Alisia if your thinking about the yamaha panniers (the standard 22ltr ones) you won't fit a helmet in them) Feel better adding that last wee bit. Haha crack on, I'm enjoying the comments and of course, learning from you more experienced fellows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisia Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'm thinking that the Blaze pannier system I bought for the Fazer8 may well fit the MT09...IF I could undo the bloody nut things holding the pillion peg on. The allen keys just start to bend. Ive put a screwdriver through the top of the alan key to give me more to work with, but short of hitting the alun key with a hammer..which I'm reluctant to do...I've no idea how to get it to shift. Any tips would be appreciated and a prize emoji for finding the right allan 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rustyshackles Posted November 6, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted November 6, 2020 ASV levers are nice, high quality and adjustable on the fly. Also they sometimes have refurbished or reconditioned levers available at a nice savings. I did this for my FJ-09 and previous bike and the wait was reasonable. 1 IBA Member #59800 3 Nations Brewing Mug Club #100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andz Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 That looks great in black! I have a 2017 as well and on the topbox topic I have 2 Givis that I change as required, my wife and I ride 2 up most of the time and always have the small box fitted.

WKE002 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Welcome to the forum.... I love to have panniers and dislike top box, so far not installing one as can’t go in between cars. I used back pack when need to carry stuff, limited to what a pannier or top box can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is afflicted with the blue wheel disease. I noticed a difference in seat height and wondered which seat you have gone to. Also, what is the material between the headlights.

nhchris Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Wow, rear ended! That must be frightening indeed. And on that topic I have a suggestion: Consider replacing stock taillight with a Blaster X type LED programmable unit. They are inexpensive and draw a lot more attention during slow downs and stops. Here is the one I have. Install is totally plug-and-play. Out with the old and in with the new. Oh yes, WELCOME to our world!
