TBF to Bibio and SVSte they are correct and speak the truth!
I fell for the tail tidy idea and it does chuck road crud all over the back of your bike, making cleaning even more of a chore. Any speed over 70 (not that any orger would exceed this!), this gets thrown up your back like those cyclists you see with the streak up their shirts. Also throws it over your rear lights and indicators...
Yeah, the bike looks better, but just be aware of the drawbacks.
