Regarding givi A660 the clamps are quite malleable they just need pulling into shape,
had this fitted for 3 years and over 6000 miles, with no movement or issues,
easy to remove by releasing clamps and sliding bars out leaving clamps on the bike for seat hump no touring days,
hope this helps,,, View attachment 154466

Thanks, but I returned it. Your brake/clutch fluid reservoirs are relocated?
 
I took my scrambler over some Welsh mountain trails then down what looked and felt like a dried river bed, apparently just a steep single track. I wouldn’t normally have tried her down there, likely not taken my Tenere there either, but the Scrambler performed amazingly. It really surprised me, in stability, traction, brakes etc. New TKC70 Rocks were awesome. I’ll take her back tomorrow,, just for photos.
 
Do they work well on the R nine T range? (even 2017> models)?
The Healtech quickshifters work on both Euro 3 (<2017) and Euro 4 (>2017) spec models. According to their website, they don't fit the latest models (Euro 5; >2021).

Do they work well? I've got no experience with quickshifters on other bikes. On the R Nine T they do work, but the gearbox of the R Nine T isn't the smoothest, so you need to make sure you make quick and confident shifts to prevent misshift or a false neutral. If you do that, they work quite well. The settings of the quickshifter can be adjusted via an app. I'm currently testing several options to finetune the working.

See this Youtube video for an example of this quickshifter on an R9T.

That looks pretty damn sexy (and comfortable) to use.. im going to look into that! I read that with most quickshifters (whatever bike) they always are a bit "grumpy" at low rpm anyway.. but the R nine T in this clip seems to be doing excellent.

Are they hard to install urself?, looking at the price it's not too bad at all.

Installation is relatively straightforward. And if the quickshifter doesn’t work as expected, you can always remove it. You don’t have to make any changes that aren’t reversable.
 
Installed the Healtech quickshifter, quick job, easy as they come.

Mixed riding results, at first it worked awesomely, just as advertised. Later during the ride for some reason it totally stopped getting input. I checked and apparently the shaking of the NineT gets more rough when she’s hot. So the schifting sensor doesn’t get proper input.

Healtech says its an easy fix by removing two washers, something to test tomorrow!

But I have to say, when it did work, it worked awesome. 1->2 no problem.
 
Had a proper test run today with the Healtech Quickshifter, it took quite a bit of editing settings, riding, tweaking, riding, etc before I felt it was shifting correctly.

Now I can upshift smoothly to every gear in low/med and high rpms. If people are interested I can share the settings of the Healtech app.
 
A little while ago I mounted a set of Strands 7" Siberia Night Ranger driving lights and and they have a white and amber halo light. I had them set for daytime running light and turn signals, but when I used them they flashed amber/white/amber/white which isn't technically legal.

Today I installed a couple of programable timer relays that turn off the white DRL as long as there is current coming from the turn signal wire, and count to 1 full second before coming on. Since the flash rate is less than a second, the timer resets and starts counting over after every turn signal flash until I turn off the signal, then it gets to 1 full second of counting and turns the DRL back on.

Holy :poop:, when these are on at night; people think the sun is up!
 
I'm pretty sure that if I hold two thin pieces of mild steel together about 36 inches in front of the bike that they will get welded together.

Each light has 10 Osram LED's in a driving light pattern and consume 70 watts per light. Actual lumens specification is just under 13,000 for the pair. Aluminum housing, stainless steel brackets and hardware and a polycarbonate lens.

I know that on a long straight deserted road I can see reflective signs over a mile away. Really can't use these in town. I often find myself on desolate back roads with lots of wildlife, and sometimes still out on a trail after dark, and in those situations these are amazing.

I got them at https://brightsource.ca/
 
Very well done. That bag looks better than all the commercial 'distressed' canvas and leather bags out there.
Thank you sir! I also learned that every allen key I own is too long or too short to effectively tighten those screws blindly without some creative language. Pretty sure this bag will fall apart, but it's mostly a proof of concept anyway.

In my old jacket, I could stuff items inside like the michelin man (I once fit an entire loaf of homemade bread and some lasagna) but the riding posture of the 9T mates that impossible. So I needed a quick and easy thing.
 
I made a cute little RH side bag using the SW-Motech sysbag adapter. Alu plate from the kit is inside the bag behind a cut pouch which lets it mount properly. Shoulder strap can be detached or stowed inside.

My fingertips hurt.
I am thinking the same thing, did you put some hard plastic to the adapter so it wont sag?
