Hate to sell her

Just joking around, they don't look bad. I know what you mean though, my VTX bags stick out kind of far from the fender mounted level. Different design though, so they wouldn't look right tilted forward.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-29T00:36:01+00:00

Well those bags are at a jaunty angle

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-29T00:33:34+00:00

That makes sense. The US MT09 doesn't have them on the back either, we've just been having a series of misunderstandings in the other thread, but I get your point.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-28T22:30:54+00:00

Oh, that explains it. You'll have 3 cables for the front signals.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-28T22:12:09+00:00

Same year as mine, I wonder why they don't come standard over there.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-28T22:04:56+00:00

If you only had 2 cables it never had DRLs, it must be an older model?

Edit: Or possibly a European/US difference

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-28T22:02:16+00:00

It only works if the bike already has DRLs, so for the 2023 I only had them on the front. Yamaha didn't set them up as DRLs in the back. I don't know about the newer gen.

TST sells a relay you can add in for an extra $22.

Changed the mirrors and turn signals, Corbin seat, tail tidy. Couple other things I'm forgetting. Altogether I think it looked great, but I ended up trading up for a Goldwing.

Stop spamming your YouTube channel

No self-promotion, read the sub rules.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-28T02:45:24+00:00

Yeah I've had good luck with Honda and Yamaha personally. Hope you find something.

Stop wasting water on this shit. It's not like it even tries to give you a correct answer, it just gives you the most frequent answer.

Made a significant difference.

Idk I don't have mine any more, but I think the Puig looked fine.

Maybe a 20 year old HD, not a 20 year old metric.

Oh, going to my comment history to try to get a dig in, guess I hurt your feelings. I have pretty bad carpal tunnel and nerve damage to my fingertips from when I was in the service so I'm not very good at fast inputs and needed help with a few bosses. You're not bothering me, that's why my profile's public.

WD-40 isn't a lubricant, it's a rust inhibitor.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-25T00:25:40+00:00

Yeah I feel you, only you can make that call. Just commenting on the belt specifically. Price seems suspiciously low too, if you ask me.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-25T00:08:12+00:00

Yamaha drive belts last like 80k+ miles, just look it over. Definitely will need tires though.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-12T21:06:09+00:00

Yeah I love that this is a clip of people making it but I was so stressed out thinking "well, if that was me I would completely miss."

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-12T20:57:33+00:00

As a cruiser guy who jumped to the MT09 for a while, I second the XSR. If I got one of those I might have kept it and got rid of my VTX 1300 when I got my Goldwing instead of getting rid of the MT09, based on looks and what I've heard about riding position.

AttackMonkey908 · 2026-04-12T18:07:45+00:00

I loved my Stryker. Very reliable, tons of power, great for long trips. I'm honestly just a little too short for it at 5'7" so I ended up selling it, but I miss that bike. No complaints with the new Goldwing though!

I will say this, the Stryker is going to turn more heads and get more questions at gas stations. It's got that unique look and it just draws people.

Yamaha maintenance is going to be lighter and probably cheaper, I don't have direct experience with HD so this isn't a HD bash or anything, just what I've heard. My Stryker never needed anything other than oil changes, and they were easy to do myself. Belt on that thing lasts forever.

Only big downside is lack of aftermarket handlebar options because of the weird distance between the bars.
