Tail Tidy

[tigersaw]

I see on ebay there is a seller Hamicad, selling tail tidys - all in price under £50. This is the cheapest I've seen for a while - are they any good, or shall I spend more for something better?
Whats important is ease of fitting, final finish, all parts nescessary included etc etc.

I put one on the missus 650S (K5) and it's a vast improvement on the original monstrosity - bit fiddly to fit but worth it. I got it from here:

how much are they?? and stay clear of the ermax.

I've just fitted and Evotech Performance Tail Tidy to my SV. Seems a really nice, well made piece of kit, £49.99 plus P&P. Fits really well and comes with clear instructions.

They have a shop on ebay - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/EVOTECH-PER...eNameZl2QQtZkm

Takes all original parts or you can specify it for mini indicators.

Hamicad - everyone's favourite
easy to fit, comes with instructions
if you intend to ride all year round then you may be better getting the stainless steel version as mine has started to rust a little, but nothing a squirt with fs365 or wd40 won't cure

you'll need a smaller number plate as well - try www.malplates.co.uk

Just ordered one, thanks for the reccomendations.
Just the blue flame and the R+G's to sort out now

Easy to fit my ****! I had a fun filled day fitting mine last Sunday, those four ******* bolts and the vague instructions but if I am able to do it them most people should be fine.

My number plate looks huge now though, what’s the smallest plate you can legally have on the bike?

Ordered through my local Suzuki dealer and are excellent, you even get a new plastic section to lose the toolkit and put it under the seat (never seen the point of an external toolkit ... how safe!)

Before:



And after:








Looks superb, build quality was fantastic and was on the shelf

Nice but that’s a complete under tray and a bit pricier then the Hamicad.

Eh? When would the tool kit be external?

On the K4 the toolkit lives in a box between the shock and tyre, just below the pillion pegs.
