Accessories

[Mr Blek]

Is there a definitive list of accessories for the bike? Windscreens, seats, luggage, raisers, HID etc ...

[Lonewolf]

I've found a few things on line through Google. Sat nav mounts, etc but I think there is a larger market for accessories in the States at the moment.

The official Kawasaki UK site has loads of kit on it ..... there is enough there for most people. Enjoy.

I'll get a complete list and post here.

I'm updating this thread with all links: http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,12.msg12.html#msg12

I think I will be ordering the Pyramid hugger and one of those sat nav/radio mounts ;D

It says the hugger is for a zzr I presume it'll fit the gtr as well?

[Kwikasfuki]

I'm pretty sure the pyramid zzr is compatible with the GTR. Best to phone them.

There's a better techmount mount. I know, I have one. I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere though.

I rang Pyramid today and spoke with one of their chaps. It would appear that the hugger for the ZZR does not fit the GTR :(
However the guy I spoke with at Pyramid said if a large enough number of people contact them asking for a hugger for the GTR they will consider designing one, so I suppose its up to us.
If you e-mail this address and enquire about the GTR hugger it may will work in our favour...       [email protected]

I still need to contact Skidmarx and see what the score is with them. Update to follow shortly, hopefully tomorrow.

[Kwikasfuki]

Mmmm. I was pretty sure the pyramids hugger was compatible.
I have the skidmarx. I think its the standard one, not the carbon one

[Lonewolf]

Does the skidmarx one fit without any modification or hassle?

[Kwikasfuki]

I've heard some say that depending on the tyre the clearance doesn't seem right, but I've had several tyres on without issues

There's a better techmount mount. I know, I have one. I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere though.

And here is is: http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=130_133&products_id=308

I've also got the quick change adapter: http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=130_133&products_id=335

NB with that mount can you still open the tank compartment lid or does the mount restrict it opening? Also how do you secure your device to the mount, lets say I have a Zumo 550/660 how would that mount??

[Kwikasfuki]

Nope, doesn't restrict opening. The techmount has plenty of holes on to which the zumo mount can be attached. The problem is you can only use the techmount for your zumo unless your prepared to continuously unscrew the mounting plate. Instead, you can get a repeated mounting plate that slides onto the techmount and attach that to the zumo mounting plate. You've then decoupled the techmount and zumo.

An even easier solution: put velcro in the techmount, or better still, the techmount mounting accessory. Then put velcro on the accessory you are attempting to mount. Easy. I've not had annual issues with it at all.

[Lonewolf]

I contacted Skidmarx today, tried to ring them and no joy so had to send them an e-mail, at least they replied. The Skidmarx hugger seems to be the only option unless someone knows better.....
