Following. Just tried to update maps on my TomTom Rider that I got dirt cheap on an Amazon sale several years back. They don't offer any combination of a reduced dataset for the maps that fit in the memory. So another example of 'lifetime' maps meaning the lifetime of the manufacturer's...

Yep.  My '16 only had one OEM horn, versus the two on my '06.  I installed FIAMMs and had to run a wire over for the 2nd horn.

I had a Shorai in my '06 for 7 or so years.  I ride year-round in MD.  Only issue was when temps dropped below 30 degr.  Bike is kept in a garage.  Some mornings it took about 6 attempts to start the bike.  The Li battery warms with each attempt.  I would put the aux lights on for a minute or so...

A female connector spade fits perfectly across the pins. 

I'll have to go look, but I think it was a top radiator mount bolt near where the old 2nd horn used to be mounted.

I got the FIAMM horns.  Yes, it was easy on my '06 as there were two factory mounts.  For the '16, I modified one of the brackets that came with the horn for the now vacant side.  I think I had to cut it down and maybe drill a new hole, but it worked fine. 

Yeah, my wife is high risk, and the hospitals are over loaded.  I decided to lay low. My cover is also a  heavy canvas-type material.  You can barely see the red cover on my FJ behind it, that is very light, like a parachute.

I washed the bike over the weekend, covered her and put her to bed.  Stay at home order in MD.

I'll second the Yamaha cover.  It came with the bike from the previous owner.  Covers with the bags on and has a zip out section to cover the top case.  Well made, but yes, heavy and doesn't pack down too well.

I use the FIAMM freeway blasters.  Had them on my '06.  It was a bit easier on the Gen IIs, as they already had two horns/mounts.  Had to fab a bracket for one of the FIAMMs.  Assume Yamma Mamma deleted one horn to save costs.

Thanks.  Dang, out of stock at Revzilla and Twisted Throttel.  Found some on fleabay for the same price, but they want $50 for shipping!

Which Barkbusters are these?  They look different from the Storm guards I've seen online.

I had a Bestem box on my '06. I added the LED light strip. Not sure if the Admore harness would work with the Bestem. I have the Admore with the Givi on my '16, and it is a much more elegant installation, with no splicing or cutting. For the Bestem, I had to tap into the running and brake...

I went with the SW-Motech sliders.

Holy crap, a grand for just a smuggler. They really don't want to make them.

Only issue I had with the Shorai was cold cranking. Li batts need to "warm up". When it was in the teens, and maybe low 20s in the garage, took up to six cranks before it would fire up, getting stronger with each successive crank. Waiting about 30-60 seconds between cranks. I started putting a...

I'm also looking at the RF-SR to replace my Qwest in the not too distant future. The Shoei guy at the bike show said the RF-SR was the Qwest replacement. It fit well, for standing on the show floor. Speaker pockets didn't seem quite as deep as the Qwest.

Had one on my '06. If I knew it had turned into hen's teeth, i would have pulled it off the bike. For my '16, i found this on the Yammie accessories site...

Mounting pics.

Forgot to mention I'm getting power from a switched circuit on my Eastern Beaver PC-8.
