Are those saddle bags easy to put on and off? Would be handy to just unclasp it and bring it with you like a to go bag if needed.
OEM Saddlebags, Skid Plate, Windshield
I installed the following genuine Yamaha accessories: Saddlebags P.No. 1TP-F84H0-XX + Windscreen P.No. BL3-FB3J0-V0 & Skid (glide) Plate P.No. BL3-F14B0-V0. Mounting brackets are necessary. I was given a 20% discount by the dealer as part of the new motorcycle purchase deal. The skid plate is more a cosmetic concession to the scrambler theme but helps keep road debris thrown up by the front tire off the crankcase / filter area. It needs to be removed for filter changes. I'm pleased with the fit and quality so share the attached pictures for others who may contemplate the same additions.

Speaking of quick connect, anyone have an idea on how we can make the left "number plate" more easily removable without sacrificing it's security?
I find it kind of goofy that to get to the tool kit, you need a cross-head screwdriver.
Where do you get one on the road? It's in the tool kit you are trying to access.
Arrrgh!
I've successfully taken the one bolt out with a quarter clasped in the tiny pliers of my Swiss Army knife.
Putting the bolt back tight enough without damaging the slot is an iffy proposition, though.
If the bolt were to come loose, the $120(!) panel can easily drop down and be lost.

You really wouldn't want to exceed 80mph anyways even in a straight on the highway. 
More for safety and you never know when the two wheeled cops will catch up to you.
But man, heavy enough to compromise handling, those are some hefty bag mounts, may as well wear a backpack and call it a day.

Bike makers need to hurry up with making carbon fiber frames or at least something with a mix of lighter material
On the very high end of the bike world its happening which makes you wonder what the trickle down process is going to be like.
