I'm not really sure that this qualifies as a Modification, its a tail bag.
But it is a NEW AXIO tail bag designed speciffically for the R1 /R6 Yamaha and available via a
Dealer or Ebay. At least that is the story I got from the seller. There isn't a lot of info on this
bag out there. Mine was "Damaged stock" that has 'Finish Flaws do to packaging". Honestly, I
can't find them. There is or was a guy on Ebay selling them for 59$+18 shipping. I bought two.
Blue and Black, Blue has yet to arrive but I think it will be too 'blue' and I'll likely end up painting it
flat black and mounting it on my red bike. Anyhow.... on to the pictures..

2 Back pad is thin and Velcroed on. The entire pad surface is Velcro on the back side, as is the
entire area under it. This is not a back rest. There is no real strength in the bag itself. I suppose
it might stop me from flying off the back if I somehow managed to completely lose the bike. How
that would happen I don't know...
3 The 'skirt' on the bag matches the Corbin carbon pattern nicely. Straps run under the seat,
in front of the lock. It took a bit of pushing to get the seat to click in and you have to press
down on the seat to relieve pressure on the latch to unlock it. Not an excessive amount but
a bit.

6 Jacket liner, Jeans, Glasses, cargo net and gloves. Pretty much fills it up.
7
8 Cheep version of the MotoBarn. Lag bolted to the driveway. Does a nice job of keeping her
clean in the foul weather.
9 Open. The metal clip on the ground is a fence / door part designed to use a 2x4 as a barricade
type lock. I've bolted that down with concrete anchors and run the lock chain through that.
Essentially bolting my bike to the driveway.
