Now to transfer as many accessories from the 2012 to the 2014ES. (https://ridemsta.com/mstaforums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F14%2F05%2F10%2Fvazy6u9a.jpg&hash=c766a245e83acbcad8b861a17d735d905d0e538e)
This is a photo of me as I'm rolling it out of the dealer's showroom. It was rainy and drizzling the same as it was when I picked up the 2012 Tenere.

Well in 59.2 miles in the rain so far it's worth it... I do have an issue... I was running the Trax bags and the new ES bike has mounted the electrical box for the saddlebags where the right front mount is. A fix will be available June/July.

Brick, what is the electrical box for the saddlebags? I know that you have your Trax boxes on Givi racks and evidently there is some interference, it sounds like. A YST forum member, Mingo has posted pics where he mounted the SW-Motech racks and Trax bags on his 2014 ES with no problems.

Re: the electrical box... The electronics, behind the new cover there I've read is for the electronic suspension. I don't know any more than that.
More to come... Including photos.
Re: the SW-Motech racks. I spoke with Twisted Throttle yesterday and they didn't really know. They sent a reply to my question but basically wanted me to purchase the $337 SW-Motech mounts. Hmmm perhaps they did know?

An additional success in that Yamaha has a new P/N for there accessory skid plate for the ES... the standard Tenere uses the old P/N skid plate. So I assumed that my old skid plate would not mount on the ES. Yippie it mounts just fine. Another big money savings.
A few more accessories to move the put the 2012 Tenere up for sale!

Fred, I still haven't actually tried my mounts on the new bike. I'm out with Patricia this AM. Hopefully this after noon I'll try it.Excellent bike! Looks like the upgrades do make a significant difference.

I had similar issues when I tried to move my Trax from my Tiger to the GS. TT had to contact SW-Motech and order a part from Germany because the mounts did not work as advertised. Glad the GIVI's worked out for you.
