How much did the work on the forks come to?

Hi Folks, Just bought the Yamaha high screen and all I can say is that it works for me, a lot less buffeting, noise etc than standard and better than the MRA touring one IMHO as well. What I'm asking is has anyone else who has fitted it got two little black brackets with mounting screws and...

I've fitted some from a normal MT09, like you say, just a little narrower and a touch higher, the only issue is that the holes for the switchgear locating pegs are not in the same place, but it;s not too hard to get around this.

I personnaly don'y like the sw motech mounting system, far too hard to get the panniers on, what I've done is modify the rack to take Givi cases using a Givi E115F junction kit from eBay and some E36 panniers again from eBay, total cost, approx £70. Far easier to mount and get off IMHO. Cheers

Hello there, I find the standard bars a little on the wide side, has anyone got any experience of changing them, perhaps for a pair from a normal MT 09? Thanks for any tips

Hello, has anyone tried to waterproof the Yamaha panniers, was thinking if trying either the nikwax spray or Fabsil which is more used on camping equipment, was wondering if anyone had any experience and what results they had. Thanks

Had mine fitted the other day, have to say that I'm singularly not impressed, difficult to mount, flimsy, not waterproof, they do look good though but the givi v35 is far better IMHO, and I have a set in the loft, does anyone fancy buying the Yamaha ones from me?

Just had a quick look and I can see and feel a slight moulding fault across the upper edge of the aperture.
