Hi All,
The original sets of came on my bike when I purchased it on 2377km. I do have kept my HB standard Aluminium sets but when I saw these plastic cases already on "Da Big Blue" decided to give'm a change. For sure needed some touches !!
First impression was the original ignition key is too tall for the pannier locks which sucks at operation. Easy to break the ignition key, I've called a friend in Yamaha Turkey, they said they'll replace the set of lock with new ones with other individual keys, as a gift I should say. Done that ! Voila ! perfect solution. Unfo, the topcase Lid makes noise and need to be recharged with soft cushioning fm both sides.
The Idea to turn them into Black was in my mind since I first saw the cases on the web. I have dismounted the cases one by one separated apart the aluminium plates into 12 pieces out of 3 cases. I took them to a Foil cover shop who covers car with foils. It tooks a couple of hours and 100 bucks to turn them into black plates. I mount them together with the cases and really really liked the result. here are the photos, I hope you guys would like'm as well.
