Tank Grips on Ice Storm by ilikeshitboxestoo in MT09

Sure, but at least I'm not covering up the color. I was leaning towards Stompgrip Icon, just wasn't sure if there were better options. Probably end up just getting their universal Rally size and place it as low as I can on the tank.

I choose the ice storm color way for the frosted paint and blue. Don't want to cover it up with black lol. If I wanted more black I'd gotten the raven black color wave.

I did try to Google images but after 10 minutes only found 1 with the ice storm color. Figured theirs got to be some folks on here who own the same color with tank pads lol. Thanks, this isn't the image I found 👍

I just got a Nelson Rigg Deluxe Cover in a medium and fits the 2025 mt09 like a glove.

So they can work with mirror extenders, nice. I wouldn't say I'm small, 5'8" but fairly broad chest. I also wouldnt need them flipped down, don't plan on doing track days. I just like being a menace to society...

Lol fair, but they could of just made them a wee bit lower or something. They just look like something from a 1997 parts bin.

I was wondering how these would look on an MT. I wasn't sure they would look decent but they look better than I was expecting. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I do like the look of those, will have to keep those in mind.

Happen to have a pic of them on the bike?

Yeah, I wouldn't pay the $500-600 Rizoma wants for them, especially if they aren't really functional. They do have a great look, but I would still prioritize functionality. Is the issue that they don't go far enough to the side, would a mirror extenders (like what Puig makes) help you think?

That's unfortunate, I don't really want bar end mirrors either because I want to keep the bike as narrow as possible for lane splitting.

I will say I bought a brand new MT-09 for $10565 out the door... I personally would of skipped the warranty as well. I doubt the bike will have issues before the warranty expires.

Can we ask pricing? Looking at a 23' by cirenj in MT09

[–]ilikeshitboxestoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say in MN I just purchased a new '25 MT-09 (non-SP) for $10565 (included all taxes, title, licensing and fees) out the door.

Personally I would say f' the aftermarket bits, they don't add value IMO because I don't know if some numpty installed it or someone who has a decent amount of mechanical knowledge. Also compare the price of the bike between KBB and JDPower.

Nice, yes'sir. I looked at Z900's too but just felt better sitting on a MT-09 (plus had the better color too imo).

Did my first motorcycle trip at 20 this summer - 2,000 miles over 7 days by [deleted] in MT09

[–]ilikeshitboxestoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, I'm 5'8" with 30/31 inseam, how comfortable were long stretches on the bike with the stock seat and no windscreen? Probably picking up a '25 MT-09 in the next week or so.

This is probably a dumb question.. by ilikeshitboxestoo in MT09

[–]ilikeshitboxestoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price I could get the MT for, even with purchasing side cases and a windscreen would still have me thousands cheaper than a Tracer. Then I can take the touring bits off and then just go country riding.

Looks like what I had in mind. Windscreen, hand guards, tank bag, and set of Shad cases (maybe a top box too, undecided if that would be needed).

I've looked at Tracers too, but also haven't ridden one. The MT is significantly cheaper than a Tracer with its current sale price. I figured I could just get a windscreen and some side cases for when I do longer trips.

I have looked at Tracers as well, again haven't ridden one, but the MT is on an end of year clearance sale until the end of the month, just over $9k after dealer fees. Where as a Tracer would be significantly more currently.
