Hellooooo, My fan must have vibrated off and fell onto the exhaust manifold (still connected by the electrical wire) and has melted to sin. Anyway spoke to the bike man... he said there on back order from Yamaha and there £220+vat!!! . Ive looked online and cant seem too see any second hand or patent ones. Can anyone help me in this situation? Are there motorbike brakers/scrapyards that may do one? Thanksssss, Ross

The biker sounds like Karl Pilkington

ATGATT?

I was in my car for this one... but the Nob of the day award went to the Black Ford Fiesta ST travelling at brake neck speeds down the A329 in bracknell proceeding to undertake a tipper truck. He zoomed through the hard shoulder and dust and crap went all over the place!! Well done that man you acheived absoluty nothing apart from spraying dust everywhere and potentially causing a rather hideous accident

I see what you mean about where the wind is deflecting. Thats a good point! What would rather body or face . Trouble is because the 66x is a small light biie when im doing high speeds i fill up like a kite and get blown all over the place

Im 5ft 7/8” so lacking a mittle in the tall department and medium build so may work in my favour. The smoked effect should look good too. Cheers ill check it out and have a look, atleast i will have a choice if they do one for my bike

Hellooo, Ive been looking online at screens. You can get small medium and big ugly things, (Yam XTX). Will a medium size one be enough to keep the wind off? Also is it a case of once there on there on or are they eaisly bolt on/off depending on what journey your doing? At the moment i dont have a screen and i jump on the duel carraige way and i fill up like a kite . https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F172263886360 Would something like this do the job? Cheers! Ross

If i come touring this year to Eifel/Luxumburg were going from point to point staying in bnb’s so would be no point in yaking them off other then when staying overnight. Ahhhhhhhh! Thats handy! No. We stay at one hotel for 6 nights. Sunday to Friday.

cracked up at this “umppphhh.... COULD YOU GO ANY FASTER” im crying!

If i come touring this year to Eifel/Luxumburg were going from point to point staying in bnb’s so would be no point in yaking them off other then when staying overnight. Ill have to order the sw-motech evo carrier and chuck them on see what they look like. They are big though hahaha

I dont even know what my deive window is. Im not a technical person

They will look hideous on a XT660X

Shell VPower nothing more nothing less

I ise the app on my phone that seems to work. Only thing is when you go back it takes you back to the top of the list

That first link, would that fir on the sw-motech evo carrier? From what i can see in the photo it has a curved back so go round exhausts. But on the xt660x the evo carrier sits on the outside of the exhausts so no need for the curves. Thats was exactly my thoughts on the E22’s. I have two Givi paniers at hone flat back monokey ones buttt... they are rather large and wont look right on my bike not sure what litre they are

Just not too sure if i like the pannier itself, may order the panniers next month in going tonget the sw motech evo carrier. Like youbsaid i can see it in the flesh, if they donthe job happy days if not i can always return them. Thanks for the help!! Not really a fan of soft luggage. I like to know thats its properly fixed to my bike! Also i have two high exhausts on each side. They get warm but not hot. The panniers from SW Motech ARE properly fixed to the bike. they are secured onto the rack, the one you would have to buy for the Givi cases. And also the rack ensures there is a gap. seen here: bc_hta_00_741_11000_b_1_xl.jpg

If i was to go to all that trouble tryi g to set up a rig id just go for throwover/soft panniers. I just prefer hard fixed panniers that way i know there saftly on my bije and dont have to worry

Not really a fan of soft luggage. I like to know thats its properly fixed to my bike! Also i have two high exhausts on each side. They get warm but not hot.

Sounds like a good idea! Yeah i need to see them in the flesh really like you said so i know for certain. I dont want panniers too big as its only a small bike as it is. Like i said i would like the aluminium ones but there so expensive and im not going to be using them that often 99% of the time its going to be noce summer weather so inthink cheap and cheerful is the way foward. Is there any other designs a bit less cruiser style you know of? (Bit more rectangler) for roughly the same price!

Hello team! Has anyone had any experience with these panniers i know there cheap BUT.... i cant warrant paying £500/600 on Ally ones which id ideally like as it would suit the XTX better and im only going to be using few times a year for a bit of touring and odd trip in the uk. Also there little 22litre ones which will cit a few pairs of socks and pants

Yeah givi. £200 for sw-motech rack and £285 for two givi trekker panniers and £8ish for the fitnents for the rack

Hello again guys! Looking to get couple of panniers on the XTX. Im going to fork out the extra for a sw-Motech as its easyily removable so when im not using them it wont be an isor. Pannier wise i would like a xouple of slim ally cases. Maybe 33l trekkers, a yone have experience in these do they leak? Etc. Also will only be every now and then they get used so id there any cheaper options pannier wise? Maybe a different brand etc Top box maybe at a later stage. Just dont want any ulgy looking bracket permantly bolted on the back of my bike Thanks!!

thats OUTRAGEOUS! i would die of laughter if i sor VDub owners try this out My mate who had a VW Camper used to do it . I never saw exactly what he did because I was probably looking to see what we were about to crash into .

This made me chuckle... alot! I can't even do it ! thats OUTRAGEOUS! i would die of laughter if i sor VDub owners try this out

What did one traffic light say to the other.... dont look im changing!
