Product Update: Tracer 9GT Seat Slope kit change

posted in: Store News | 0

As of 10/1/2024 the “standard” version of the Seat Slope kit will be discontinued, and the Pro-version will be the default version that ships. This is being done for a few reasons, but one primary reason is that it is the most popular and most versatile for riders, so I wanted to focus on that. Also to simplify product lines and streamline things here at JK3D.

As part of this I also am lowering the price of the Pro version of the seat slope kit to $28 to fall between the Standard and the Pro version costs before. So this not only focuses on the more versatile kit, but also saves you some money in the process!

Due to the large amount of the JK3D.us seat slope mod kits sold for both the Yamaha Tracer 900/FJ09/Tracer 9GT, and Tracer 9GT+over the last almost 4 years around the world an interesting issue is starting to happen: Riders accidentally order the kit for their used Yamaha Tracer/FJ09 and find that it already had the kit installed by the previous owner! This has happened 3 times in the last 2 months.

2023 Yamaha Tracer 9GT Seat Slope Mod

posted in: Store News | 0

Hi everyone! This last week I verified that the 2021+ Tracer 9GT Seat Slope mod works on the 2023 model. I have not confirmed compatibility with the 2023 GT+ though (the GT+ is supposed to use a different seat/Mount but that is TBD).

MT-09 Seat Slope Mod:
Talking about new models for the seat slope mod, I have shipped out a handful of prototypes for the MT-09 models, I have either not received feedback, or what I did was not great, so I am unsure on the viability of the mod for that bike currently. I have 1 more prototype set here I can ship out as of 3/28 but would prefer to ship it in the US if possible if someone wants to test on a 2021+ MT09. Email shop@jk3d.us if you are interested in testing it, but I will need feedback if you do.

Seat Slope Mod for ’21+ MT-09

posted in: Store News | 0

With the successful launch of the Tracer 9GT Seat Slope Mod (thanks for all the orders!!), I shifted my focus back on the MT-09 option. With some help from some customers I was able to come up with a different design for that bike. The subframe is completely different from the Tracer 9GT, and the shims are visible to the outside so I wanted them to be clean looking like they belong.

I am ordering some hardware and making some prototypes to send out in next week for testing.

Tracer 9GT/MT-09 Seat slope preview sales coming

Coming up in a week (I am waiting on some last bits of rider feedback) I am going to be listing a limited number of sets of the seat slope mod shims for the ’21 Tracer 9GT/MT-09. These will be discounted preview items due to me needing some additional feedback before I open the flood gates on these.

Another note is that material costs are going up and certain products may increase price accordingly. This shouldn’t be much, but as we are seeing most things are more expensive world wide right now and that is directly impacting my raw material suppliers.

New Product Shipping – Tracer/MT-09 Seat Slope Fix

posted in: Store News | 0

shipped the first handful of orders of a new product I brought to the site in the last few days. After dealing with the natural forward slope of the Tracer 900 GT seat, and knowing the non GT, and the MT-09 all share the same issues I designed a quick fix. I tested the fix on the last 1800 mi trip and a bit this summer, and finished up some design tweaks last week to lock it in and start producing the new kit.
