So I've naturally started looking at small modifications for my new bike, like you do! What Tail tidy's have other owners been buying?? I've not seen a great deal online so any recommendations would be great. Thanks
There arr a few on flea bay for 39.99 UK made. Seem decent enough for the money and look just like the R&G ones. I think theres even an option for LED lights and the tail tidy as a package. Not sure about quality but if its made here it cant be bad?
@PauloHRC , I just looked at these. They actually look alright. I seem to recall R & G was about 70 quid. Have a look: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-201...m=162331376152&_trksid=p2045573.c101006.m3226
@Ravsta and @nigelrb I actually bought one of these JTech ones off ebay last night. I was eagerly waiting responses but I couldn't hold on any longer as I wanted it here by weekend so I've got stuff to fit to the new bike!! £38.99 and it will accept standard indicators which are actually pretty sleek on the newer blades. For a quid more you can actually buy this tail tdy with mini LED indicators but I don't want to start splicing wires and fitting resistors! Will let you know what the quality is like when it arrives! Cheers for the input lads
Nice one. I want to do mine over the winter as well and i quite like the standard indicators too so 39 quid seems a good price. Looking fwd to your update and a few pics of the new TT
The bonus is that you won't cop a ribbing from the boys because it's not Chinese. I wanted to accentuate 'not' but @Lozzy won't let me use capitals!
It'll feel like xmas all over again. Grab a few cold ones, some mince pies and get your spanner time in the garage. Have you ordered a smaller plate or are you going to use the stock plate?
I am looking forward to having a fettle haha! Yeah ordered a 7x5 plate, then looking at the photo of the tail tidy on the eBay listing it looks like it's 8 inches wide Will look daft with tail tidy sticking out the sides so will have to see what it's like. Always go with a 7x5 though
Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking it would look like!! It's not too bad actually .......like I said, will see how it looks on Saturday morning.....delivery day!!!!!
Paul, you'll hardly notice a half inch beyond the plate. Even with major OCD it won't be a prob. I always use 8 x 6s so don't have that problem. Remember to put black backing on the plate for a proper finished look. I get my pates from https://www.a1showplates.com/ and they actually come on black-backed plastic. (Too late for you now, I know, but keep it in mind).
Arrived today and I'm seriously impressed, really solid construction and well finished. Connectors, heat shrink, LED number plate light all included. Should keep me busy for a couple of hours tomorrow!
