I made a tool carrier out of a small Pelican case...
Seems to work nicely, my wolfman tool bag fits perfectly inside it.

How close does the caliper get to that box when things compress?

Where did you go wrong with the gasket? What did you do / would do differently to keep that from happening again?Bryce said:
Thanks!

Ya, Whatever!
one of the round parts over the cam ends on the right side was evidently not in place. you really can't see it and have to have faith that it's in place by feeling it.mebgardner said:

It misses it by a half an inch or so. That would have to be at full compression.Don in Lodi said:

It was yesterday, but I did the first thing ever for mine and I wrote a check for it. I bought a 2014 gen 2 non es with just over 2000 miles on it. I'll pick it up later in the week. The first order of business is to get a Givi top case mount ordered for it so my bride will have a back rest. I looked around a little today, but there has been a lot going on. I'm looking forward to my first modern bike.
Chasing balloons about 40 miles on gravel, verrrry dusty gravel. And never thought to take a picture when they were 40 foot above me.

Chased a couple balloons myself a couple days ago west of Huntley IL. Didn't grab any pics though. Today finished installing a Happy Trails rack with AltRider Givi case adapters. Plan to migrate the road tool kit and tire pump to the ~2-5/8" x 10" x 11" space, so I don't always need the Givi V46. Ideas for waterproof bags/tool roll?

Live a life worth living.
The Altrider rear rack has the holes for the Givi mount kit. Then you can use the rack as a raised or flat rack later.Crew Chief said:

Both of these last two posts were educational for me. For the short term, I just got a universal mount, but I'll be lookin into these other options as a more permanent solution. Thanks.

Well, I picked up the bike and mounted the case today. I got a decent deal on this bike, really good actually, but I never have been and I guess I never will be a fan of vehicle dealers. Today didn't change that.
The previous owner had removed the lower spacer for the luggage rack, but I had to put it back on to get enough clearance for the case over the grab rails. This will not be a permanent solution and will serve only to keep my wife comfortable by providing her a back rest till I can decide on the next step. Both the Alt rider and the Givi metal mounts look nice to me, but the HT looks like I could move the top plate back an inch or two pretty easily, and I think I may want to do that. The back rest on the top case encroaches on her space just a little the way it is now. Holligl, It doesn't look like the HT has holes for the Givi mount. Did you have to locate your own holes? Do you have a plan for that cubby hole?

I have the Altrider luggage rack and the Holan Nomada top case on it. The top box is moved aft by using an intermediate piece of plastic that each bolts to. The intermediate piece of plastic was a plastic kitchen cutting board. I'm in Maine and the bike is in Maryland so no pix.
Had to drill the front two for the AltRider adapters. For the rear wedge I used the center strap hole with a hand fashioned aluminum filler and aluminum bottom plate. I could have reused my old plastic Givi base on it, but wanted to minimize the weight and keep it as low as possible. I wanted the cubby for the tool kit, which I've been carrying inside the Givi. Unfortunately, the cubby isn't big enough for the pump I have. While they call it a 3" riser, the space is 2-5/8"x 9.5" x 11". Still working on a water resistant tool roll/bag.Crew Chief said:
I do prefer to ride without the Givi box unless I really need the space. I find that the balance, reaction, and cross wind management is better.

Installed the new windscreen brackets from Propsoto http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=22728.0
Should make the crossbar usable for my GPS now. Just when I think I'm done farkling, something else comes up!

Not today but the other day I fitted a Mictuning 8 inch light bar. Very pleased withe the quality for the the price of £20. I also bought the wiring loom that is for a pair of lights complete with all all fittings , a relay and an illuminated switch on 12 feet of cable. That was another £9.99.
So all in all less than £30 including shipping from ebay and Amazon and it fits really well. I mounted it using both supplied brackets onto factory fog light mounts. The light sits perfectly under my OE crashbar. I mounted the switch up on the left fairing just inside the winglets. It looks like its a factory fit and it works very well.
