    Its all personal taste really. If you're not buying based on price then search google images, but it means removing the whole tail fairing to get to the bolts each side of the tail.

    I had evotech on my 09 and now have r&g on my 12,both fitted by the dealer and both look good. As said before its down to personal choice. Good luck choosing !

    I have the Evotech and it looks nice and fits really well but where the cables come through for the indicators and tail light there is no grommet supplied so it is open for water to get into the tail section from spray off the rear wheel. My mate has the R&G and this fully seals where the cables come through, so based on this I would go R&G.

    I had a look at the "number plate sizes" posts on here and It sounds like 7-7.5 x 5.5-6 is about a small as you want to go. I think that would fit on the Yoshi tail tidy. None of them look that big.

    That looks really neat and tidy, much nicer than my R&G unit. I would re edit your reg number out if I were you though Carl unless you want the nice speed boat salesmen sitting outside your house. (Dont worry, if you dont have kids you wont get it)

    I have the Evotec on my 2011 and IMO it looks neat tidy and as minimalist as you can get, you need to think outside the box regarding the wiring but that's fine with me

    It's 7.5 x 6.5. I used to have 7x5 but decided to go a little bigger on this bike to attract a little less attention. It's not over small but doesn't look too big either, if that makes sence?

    Cheers Carl Its looks just right. I'd like to go small but realise it massively increases my chances of getting pulled, and I don't want that to happen.
    I think I'll be asking Santa for one!

    Make up what size and style you like, if you don't go too small the police don't get too excited, however there is always one!
