Hi all
I have just got a tail tidy for my k3 sv650s, but havn't got a clue where to start with fitting it. I have assembled the tail tidy itself and now need to fit it. I have a haynes manual but can't find any info on removing the rear mudguard/ snow shovel. I am also fitting after market indicators so what is the best way to connect these wires??? any help will be appreciated many thanks.. |

what tail tidy did you buy?
Does it have instructions. If not have a look on their website as usually Hamicad, EvoTech and R&G all have fitting instructions online ![]()

Hopefully this'll help you. This may not be the same fender eliminator but the principle should be there or there about....
http://www.hamicad.co.uk/SV_Fender.html Click the fitting instructions PDF. Hope that's helpful. |

Fitted mine last week, taking the original lump off is fairly straight forward. Take both seats off then start by unbolting the grab rail & seat unit plastic, removing any panel fasteners as you go. Once the seat unit is off there are 4 bolts on the underside that hold the original unit on and a couple on the top iirc. I had a haynes manual to hand but didn't need it.
For fitting after market indis I personally prefer to remove the originals then cut the connector off leaving enough wire for connecting the new ones. Then to connect them up use bullet connectors or I prefer to solder the wires and heat shrink them to make it neater. The advantage of doing it this way is you can do the wiring off the bike. |

thanks for the info guys the "hamicad" link was excellent and pretty much how hoody explains it but with pictures for idiots like me.. as for the new rear indys i have just used scotch lock conectors for now but this may only be temporary. Now i have the front indy's to put on but i can't get these to go tight! is there an adaptor that i need to do this?? they are mini arrow indicators! cheers
