    I had one of these ordered and delivered to the dealership when I bought the new one.
    So it is sitting there just now, along with radiator guards for when the first service is due.
    I have since bought myself a nice Yoshimura tail tidy, so I will have this brand new, boxed and unopened R&G one to suit a 2012 blade.
    These retail at £67.49 excluding VAT and delivery (so basically about £85).
    Though you will likely get it quicker than R&G send them out. ;)

    I obviously don't have it in my possession yet, and am away on holiday tomorrow.
    Just wondering if anyone has an interest in it before it gets put on Ebay when I get back.

    Think it looks better Jim.
    Quality seems to be just as good too.
    Not put it on yet as just back from holiday and it was on the doorstep when I arrived home.
    Then again I wanted mostly Yoshi stuff on my bike anyway and only recently found out they did a tail tidy.
    Might attempt to put it on later today.

    Dont think it's too technical, I have electrical background if that helps. Done tail tidy before

    Having fannied about with it this afternoon I would definitely say the Yoshi is better quality.
    Not got it fitted yet, but have assembled it all, and also put on some nice wheel decals.
    And changed screen bolts to black ones.

    Have done 600RR tail tidies, R&G ones, and they are a nuisance.
    Never done a blade one, so just getting my bearings on where the cables go etc.
    Want to just get it on.

    Not sure why I'm even asking as penniless at present but...
    ..will the R&G fit a 2011 1000RRAB model. it looks like it will but are their differences.
