Does anyone have an electronic copy of the install instructions for the Jesse panniers they could send me? My panniers arrived today without any instructions and since I have never seen a set of them in person, I have no idea as to how the hardware is supposed to be mounted.
Thanks!

No joy. I checked that first. There is an attachment that shows the spacers to be used to install the mounts on the ES but nothing that shows what to do with the extra metal bars or how to put the hardware on the cases.
Thanks.

Will do. Here are some things to know ahead of time to save you some time and trouble, Goldwing.

The page titled "YAMAHA 2014 SUPER TENERE - Bolt kit needed for Yamaha Super Tenere 2014" is all the instructions you get for installing the case mounts on your bike. The multi-page document named "151-YAM12-Install.pdf" has the directions for installing the hardware on the cases. It also has instructions about mounting the case frames to your bike but ignore that part of the document. The description of parts received does not match what I got for my 2014. What you need is on page 5 and 6. I think those instructions are for previous year S10s and there has not been an update of those pages.

The spacers provided and installed as specified on the "Yamaha Super Tenere" sheet were correct and everything lined up straight and made for a clean install.

Although you will receive a left front passenger peg support, recommend you not try to install it unless you make a trip to the hardware store first for a longer bolt. It is not clear to me whether Jesse intended that you install that piece on a 2014. If you do install the piece, the bolt for the front attachment of the case mount (an 8X45mm bolt) is not long enough to secure the front of the case mount to the foot peg. Ask me how I know. ;) At some point, I intend to purchase a larger bolt and I will install the reinforcing support since it seems like a good idea.

You'll like the bags. They are enormous but they look very nice on the bike. What color id you get? I went with the charcoal powdercoat and they look (almost) like OEM.

Could someone send to someror@gmail.com too? I just ordered as set for my '14 ES that I'll be picking up tomorrow.

Those look good! I got the 8" in black.

What skid plate is that?

That skid plate is from RideOnAdv, on our vendors list. Jaxon is the proprietor, he's all over this place here. Great guy and Tenere aficionado.

Sorry. Just saw this. Was on a 6 day m/c trip through western and southern CO. I can't find them right now; need to check to see if they are on my work computer.

Yes, the RideOnAdv skid plate is awesome. One of the nicest features is not having to take it off to change the oil and filter.

No worries, I got them on, no problem. Pretty straight forward. Not sure what the extra bracket is for in the kit, maybe non-ES models?

That bracket reinforces your left passenger footpeg. Unfortunately, the cap screw provided (an 8mm X45) is too short. If you instal the bracket, then the cap screw is not long enough to mount the pannier rack.

My left (clutch side) bracket is welded to the mounts and bolts to the hole in the passenger peg.

My right side (brake) bracket is bolted between the mounts and peg. It looks just like the clutch side but needed to be bolted on.

I couldn't use the larger bracket as the cover for the ES "stuff" is in the way.

I wonder if they changed something, I just ordered my set a week or two ago.
