Well, I went for those semi ridgid panniers. The response on them seems to be a bit mixed, but I think they are pretty good. Adds a bit of practicality and I think they suit the bike. I also got the high screen, which was a total waste of money. Took it off as soon as I got home and it's never...

I wet for a test ride on the MT10. I love my Tracer (especially now it has the ECU flash) and I was worried that the MT10 was gonna turn my head. It's very impressive, but for me it's just too much power for a naked bike. I forked out for the Akra on my Tracer, I'd have to do the same again on...

A four bike run to Oban and through Glencoe from last year....featuring my Tracer Engine noise version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLQx3Y02u4M Music version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpw8wtiO2XM

oh...and I couldn't help but notice that my Yamaha dealer stopped having the tall screen on their demo bike. I did wonder if that was due to negative feedback

Bloody screens! There just isn't a one screen fits all option. I got the tall screen as an option when I bought my Tracer. It was fitted when I picked it up. Was awful. Put the standard one back on which was a minor improvement. If I ducked behind the tall screen, I got no noise and no...

Took my freshly flashed Tracer on a run up to Tyndrum, Inveraray, Lochlomond, Crianlarich. Footage is from front and rear facing cameras attached to the bike. Sorry, can't see much of the actual bike. And the video is edited to music. Sound from action cams was a bit rubbish...

My 2008 R1 screen on the Tracer is less rough round the edges and has somw additions. - A lick of matt black paint - A sticker (woo-hoo! everyone loves a sticker!) - And some bits dremel'd off one of my extensive collection of aftermarket Tracer screens The donnor screen was the absolute turd...

My Tracer finally arrived today. I've had it for just over a year, but the installation of the freshly flashed ECU has delivered a brand new bike. The performance enhancements are great, but what I really appreciated was being able to calmly cruise along without the throttle and engine breaking...

Welcome, from a fellow Fifer

Yamaha R1 and a Suzuki Bandit 650s The Bandit was sold. I still had the Bandit about a month after I got my Tracer. Took in on one last run to drop it off with the buyer. Jebus! It felt like I was riding a WW2 torpedo in comparison. Still have a love/hate relationship with my R1

Had my Tracer for just over a year - 11000 Had to get another bike as a commuter to stop me clocking up so many miles. I just couldn't stay off it. ECU went off to S-Tec today to get flashed...can't wait to get it back

Looks like I did attach pictures. No idea why one is upside down.

Hello Been a while since I've been on here. Good to see that the wind noise/screen debate continues. I'm just on for an update on some of my recent tinkering. I have a selection of 5 screens. The 2 factory ones, another 2 aftermarket of a similar size to the standard screen and a small flat...

I've also got the Yamaha engine sliders. 2 points of contact definitely best.

My set arrived earlier in the week. Fitted them straight away. Very pleased. They do look good.
