  1. Hi All,

    any one fitted the R&G Tail tidy to the 899 Yet?
    Pro's and Con's?
    Hard or easy fit?

    S
     
  2. wont be as hard as the evo tech go for it mate
     
  3. Long Allen keys are the trick and long fingers also help.
     
  4. Going to give it a go at the weekend and re print the instructions from the R&G Website in color as the black and white copys you get in the kit are about as much use as a ashtray on a motorcycle
     
  5. Its quite stright forward, just takes a bit of time as you need to dismantle just about all of the rear end. Are you keeping the standard indicators?
     
  6. For now yes will be keeping the STD indicators - is this a no no or what have you done

    like in the other thread what appreciate it if you can upload a pic of your tail tidy fitted
     
  7. have purchased both the R&G and evotech tail tidy s ahead of picking up my 899 tomorrow
    not entirely on purpose but have ended up with one of each
    will pick which one I prefer and flog the other

    cannot bear to keep the standard tail tidy on any bike
     
  8. How about the 'Bruudt' tail tidy?

  9. never actually heard of bruudt before
    looks nice though
    If i had know about would have probably taken a closer look, but I think 2 tail tidy's is enough for me for now ;)

  10. +1 on Bruudt.
    Sent my r&g back once I'd seen it.
     
  11. Bruudt for me. Easy to fit, good engineering and blocks less of the rear lights than the R&G, Evotech and DP
     
  12. I don't have any close up photos but it is quite easy to do and as you are keep the standard indicators no extra wiring to do. I thought the standard indicators looked really big once tail tidy was on so I bought some mini leds but had to add resistors to get the right flash rate. The red bit you can see behind the plate is the tax disc holder.

  13. went for the evotech over the R&G, was a no brainer
    build quality was in a different league
