Pic of '15 ES with Jesse Luggage

[Dagwood_55]

Getting ready to order Jesse Oddesy 2 luggage for my new 15 ES (maroon). And I can't
decide between the black or the gray. Thought I'd try to match the black panels on the bike.
I've got samples from Jessee, so far I'm thinking gray....

Anyone got a pic of either on a 15 ES??

I like black on my red

Initially I would have said grey but that black is looking tastey.

Black certainly looks awesome. I have read where black is not ideal when riding in hot areas due to excessive heat absorption from the sun which may cause issues with food or electronic items stored in the bags. I will certainly be able to substantiate this info soon as I just put a set of black panniers on my bike. I originally had grey but I liked how the black looked much better.

Just so you know - there is a fitment issue on the ES with the left bracket. They send a 2" & 2 1/2" spacer to hold the bracket out on the right side from the electronic suspension goodies under the cover above the passenger foot peg. They sent me 1 1/2 " spacers for the left side - the bag ended up too close to the grab handle for a passenger - their knuckles hit the bag. Also - the aluminum billet lock mechanism was hitting the heat shield over the muffler. So I had them send me new bolts and 2" of spacers for the left side as well. It's not perfect but fixed the fitment issues I was having. They were decent to work with. My only complaint about the bags now are that the passenger left side foot peg is very close to the bracket on that side - the passenger ankle hits it. You can see it in the pics.

And my bags and top case are supposed to be today. But I had planned on removing the rear hand rails anyways.

I made Jesse aware of this issue (and another) with the new style retention hardware last July. See my solution here http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=16322.msg255901#msg255901.

Did you keep your hand rails or lose them?
