2016 SV650 Tail Tidy
 

I see this today online from R&G Racing a Tail Tidy for the 2016 SV650 £66.98 looks better than the original!! has anybody fitted one to their 2016 SV650 yet?

Yup ! Hope photo shows it. Huge cosmetic improvement.

Looks good, was it easy to fit? and how will effect your Suzuki warranty?

Re: 2016 SV650 Tail Tidy
 

Dead easy to fit, rode to B&B had a cup of coffee, rode away, job done. Warranty is only effected if a non standard component contributes to the failure that you are claiming for under warranty.

Hi, Geoff I am having a R&G Tail Tidy fitted at my 600ml sevice as it looks very good on your bike, but I have been advised it needs a rear reflector to be road legal and for a MoT not a big problem but just for info.

Stick a little button one on your plate for MOT time apart from that no one will notice or care.

I'm after one. Where did you pick up yours from.

Well you're a while away from an MOT on your '16 bike ;-) But the tail tidy comes with a button reflector for your plate... Not sure why you'd pay someone to do it it's really very simple...

In any case if you're worried about actual legality, tail tidies probably aren't technically following the EU directive 93/94/EEC see location...

Be aware. I have an R&G tail tidy on mine and the fasteners make the Suzuki ones look quality! Replace them with decent s/s ones and grease liberally before fitting as they take the full brunt of spray from the rear tyre (including salt in winter).

You have been warned!

I had the R & G tail tidy on, certainly get proof of how clean the road was if you ride out when it's wet :-(

Fitted the original plastics back on as I've just fitted my pannier and top box racks on. And used stainless fasteners as well so that there's some hope of being able to remove them at some point in the future!
