FNG, I use Performance Cycle for my winter storage and Mary in the parts department is great for all of your options. Hope to see you riding in the area some day.

Welcome FNG The glove box I typically use for the GPS cable and my wallet. I also ride a 2013 and have recently added a SHAD top box and I was also concerned based on the warning. Instead I listened to the folks on the site and will just keep the weight in the box on the low side. BTW I am...

Thanks everyone. I am going to try the new rack with the shad 39L and see what happens. the Yamaha 39L is just too expensive.

Does anyone know if the new rack 1MC-248D0-00-00 would fit the Shad 39L top case that Yamaha is selling? The dealer thought it would but they were not helpful on the other information so I am not sure I trust the "opinion" Great pics BTW and the dirt just shows you ride the bike hard.

Canadian FJR any chance you have the part numbers for what you bought. I went to my local dealership today and they were not helpful and kept saying go to GIVI but I do not like the look of their plate.

I did not realize that Yamaha made a 39L. I will need to check out the rack and top case you bought at the dealership this weekend.

Are you using the Shad or the Yamaha top case? Is there a plate that attaches to the rack to attach the case?

I am looking at the rack for the 39L. Do you have to cut any body work with the 50L? Are you adding any other stiffening to the back end?

Unfortunately they are about 250KM away from Charlottetown. Thanks for the information though.

I did see them on-line but the person I spoke with was not sure if they were still renting. I am still hoping they will come through.

We are flying to PEI in June and I am looking to rent a motorcycle during my stay (the better half is at a conference and it seems like a great time to see the island). I have searched everywhere without success. Previously we have used Eagle Riders and been very happy but we cannot find a...

Sitting up here in the snowy north this was a great afternoon fix.

Just went on a long ride and no issues this time even though I did not make any changes. Still will check out on the advice given above.

Thanks everyone for the advice off to try and fix it.
