Yea, it's the cheapest by a few quid which is cool, but what's uncool is that I don't want to spend that much... I know, I'm cheap

lol you best keep the stock indys on then lol

I bought a Hamicad tail tidy for my K3 and its one of the best, the build quality is great

+ 1 on the hamicad

Uses stock Indys and the rear number plate light. Goes on a treat with no bodging required. Looks smart too!

I went for the Evotech which fitted very nicely and uses the stock indicators. There is a good write-up HERE about how to remove the rear fairings which should give you some idea of the work involved. It's not at all difficult, just time consuming.

Really?? It took me about 30 -45 minutes tops. I had an r&g tail tidy on my Sv1k fitted some oxford nano's in that time too. I'm by no means overly handy with a spanner either.

+1 on Hamicad, this is my third winter (commute 5 days a week) and it still looks new!!!

Do all tail tidy's leave a gap in the undertray? What do you use to seal it up?

hi all i have brought a tail tidy of ebay for £52 i was just wondering how long it takes because it is a stage 2 tail tidy and i have found on forums i have to take all the rear end a part is that true any help would be great

There's your answer, in post #2

Depends how confident you are, I wouldn't plan to do anything important the same day just in case
