Default differences between tail tidy's

Hello, hope you are well.

I was wondering if ayone knows if there are any differences between the different manufacturers version of tail tidy's, Hamicad, Evotech etc. Are they all the same dimensions, do some make a better job of tidying, do some make the tail look higher or lower as a result?


I have a K3 naked.

Cheers

Nicky

To be honest they all do the same thing, they have the same fittings to (obviously) so the visual difference isn't going to to be much.

Here is krhall's recent adventure....



He did a very good job!!!

Some use the original tail light, some don't.

Thats an undertray and not a tailtidy!

The main difference is that some will retain the standard numberplate light and others will replace it, same can be said for indicators too. Do a search on threads about tailtidys and compare any pictures to see which you like best.

I have a Hamicad, and tbh I don't like it. The number plate sits too far under the rear and makes the bike look squat. I'd prefer to have an Evotech one rather than the one I have.

My K3 naked had a no-name stainless steel one I got off ebay for 27 quid, It gave me the option of junking the number plate light and fitting a smaller one to help lift the plate up a bit as well (never did it though). I liked the look of that one and should have kept it and painted it black to go on the K5.
