Nice Fit!

Nice bag Ooook.

Was it easy to find 'tie points' under the pillion seat for those straps?
I'm looking at getting a tail bag for my SR/F but looking under the pillion seat I didn't see too many options to attach the straps.

Cheers

No, it was not that easy to install, I had some difficulties to fix the hooks (Cordura parts).

But once in place, it stays put. 

I'll post a photo ASAP (today ?).

That would be really helpful, thanks
No rush, but it would great to see how you managed it

Here it is :

Thanks for taking the time to take the picture 
I doubt I would have had the imagination to think of routing the cord like that.

Nice one.

I installed the peg lowering kit on my SR/F last night.  It took about 45 minutes (most of that time modifying a set of needle nose pliers to work on the spring clips).  I took a quick ride after and it makes a surprisingly big difference (I already have bar risers).  I can't wait to take a longer ride to really test them out.  Some quick pointers if you are doing this yourself:

- Get some really fine tip pliers for the spring clips (I am sure there is a specific tool for this, but pliers worked)
- Before inserting the springs, put in the peg and put the pin in just past the top hole.  Then press in the spring and fully insert the pin.
- You can remove the brake mechanism from the bike (two screws) to make re-connecting the linkage on the brake pedal easier.
- Line up the spring on the brake pedal before connecting the linkage etc.  Easier to do when it's free.

It's not a bad job, provided you don't launch the spring clips (can be fun finding them under your car in the garage, ask me how I know).
