Good review, I just ordered one. Update, it only took 4 days from Greece to Washington state. I cut the aluminum spacers to half the thickness to work with my V-stream windscreen. Very nice mount
Hey there Critical Rider! I live in the U.S.A... just out side of Chicago if you're familiar. I just bought a 2015 FJ-09... love your video's / they are very detailed and helpful... I believe the FJ-09 and MT-09 are exactly the same but not 100%. After watching this video I don't think I could go to a handlebar mounted GPS... just having a hard time finding this same one you reviewed here in the U.S.A. Just a little concerned about buying something for a MT-09 and hoping it fits my FJ-09.
Hey Chris. I'm in Chicago this week, what a coincidence! As for the GPS support, I've updated the eBay link on the video description. It says it ships worldwide so I guess you can get it sent to you. I think it will fit the FJ-09, the differences should be on things like emissions, reflectors, blinker size... not on the windscreen mount. But... I'm not 100% sure, of course, don't quote me on it :-D And thanks for the kind words!
Hi, first of all...thx for those nice Videos...very very Helpfull. Most likely you only see if some stuff fits your bike if you have it on side!! So very helpfull your reviews ;)! I have a Tracer by my selve...I Looked exactly for this Kind of GBS mout! Does it also fit with the Puig wind shield you have? Does the GBS have enough space or do you had to adjust it more down into the Instruments? Keep on with the vids!!! Thanks Mate! Regards Tom
Very good without the screen. The stock screen is garbage. My XSR 900 is even better than the Tracer without screen. I certainly recommend no screen or a short one if you're riding around town.
Dear, I just bought the same Gps mount (the upgraded version) and I was wondering: You're speaking of using longer bolts then the stock ones to fix the mount to the bike. In the package I received 4 new bolts, at this point I can't say if they are longer than the original because I didn't mounted it yet. Are you speaking of those ones or you needed to buy new ones by youserlf ? Thanks for your answer, keep on the good work, I like your videos ;-) Kind regards, Js.
I didn't get any with the GPS mount but I used the ones from my touring screen. So I can't say the ones you received are long enough. Let us know when you try. Thanks!
Hello :-) I'm sorry, when I was talking about the Gps mount, in fact I was talking about the iron plate with the MT logo on it which you bought from Cosmo-accessories, the one presented in the video. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Kr, Js.
I've never tried or even seen that model in person, only in pictures, so I'm afraid I can't say if it's better or not. Maybe somebody can comment with their experience...
I just bought an FJ-09 and find your videos very helpful. Thank you!
So refreshing to see a calm rider on a powerful bike. You have a nice karma. Enjoy you bike. Frank
Thanks Frank. Although... video editing... keep some stuff out... ;-) I try to be calm though, I want to continue riding the next morning.
Good review, I just ordered one.

your videos are very helpful and u're an amazing guy. thank you
Prima uitleg, idd de motor is de ster mooi gezegt. Dat leidt ook alleen maar af.;) Kijk alweer uit naar de volgende video. Toppie!!
Really useful review. Many thanks. Going to make my own to a similar design, but will now use thicker plate!
Hello friend,
Good review, perfect video... This is a very good example of a product test. Congratulations from an spanish motorbiker. VVVVVV

It fits with the Puig, but not with the stock screen
They should’ve made it even a bit thicker and supplied you with longer bolts for the set up. That probably would eliminate all the vibration
There's a new version already (v3) with a kink in the middle that's supposed to be even stiffer. I haven't tested yet.
@@MotoRiderTube Where could I get the latest version?
They have made another one with a V bend in the centre making it stronger again, mine arrives next week.
Very interested to know how is the new V bend model? Are you satisfied with your purchase? Thanks!
The link doesnt work ....pls where can i find ?
www.cosmo-accessories.com/products/yamaha/tracer-900
That's a pretty good setup. How do you find the bike without the screen in terms of wind noise?
Very good without the screen. The stock screen is garbage. My XSR 900 is even better than the Tracer without screen. I certainly recommend no screen or a short one if you're riding around town.

I know, there was no misunderstanding.
Are you happy with the tomtom after the change from the garmin?
Yes, it was flawless during the trip. I am a Garmin fan, but this TomTom is a better product than the Garmin.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Garmin also charges some outrageous prices for a device that feels like something 10 years old.
Oh you are from NL :)
What about the plate having the 22mm bar instead of the ball ram mount? Is it even better than the 3mm (new version) you just reviewed?
I've never tried or even seen that model in person, only in pictures, so I'm afraid I can't say if it's better or not. Maybe somebody can comment with their experience...
Will this fit tracer 2018 or gt?
No it doesn't. I believe they're making a new model for the 2018 Tracers.
Critical Rider please make a video in case you will put one on your new gt.
Tenho uma mas no Brasil e difícil ter acesso
Does this fit the tracer gt?
No, the 2018 models (GT and normal) have a different screen mount.
