yeah, and I wish Yamaha would look at their market... they could have really given this bike a few more options and made it a light tourer from the factory. The rear grab bar is useless and heavy, could have very easily made it functional.Hard cases look so nice on the FZ6R! I just wish they weren't so darn expensive.

Where at in VA? there's a few of us in the Northern part.
Here's a quick update showing the bags.
Next will be a Throttlemeister and a set of grips.
Would like details. What bag model, brackets, ease of installation/removal?

The bags are the Givi V35N(matte black) they come in several options all costing more than these, the ones with the gloss black trim look nice on a black bike but I cheaped out.
Givi Monokey V35 motorcycle side case, luggage, hard cases
The brackets are Givi PLXR364
Givi PLXR364 side case Fitment Kit for the Yamaha FZ-6R 2009. - Sport Tour Ltd.
Here's the instructions for installing the brackets:

30-45 mins including dragging out the few tools needed and blue Locktite.
The brackets come with a special tool that only requires a 1/4 turn to remove the loop of the bracket that can be removed in a few seconds leaving the 2 tabs that are below the grab rail and 1 at the passenger foot peg.
Agreed, I keep coming back to look at them. I'll be getting a set this fall, can't wait.Sigh, they need a jealous button. :thumbup: I keep coming back and looking at it lol.
Would you mind posting a picture of how much fits in there?
Check out the pdf link in my first postCan you quickly and easily remove the mounts when not in use? I don't think I'd keep the cases on the bike all of the time.
I am about to take the plunge and purchase these just wanted to ask you how they are working out for you now that you have had them on your ride for several months? Did you notice a big difference in the way the bike handles? Is it sufficient storage or would you recooment the trunk as well.
