Looks good, was it easy to fit? and how will effect your Suzuki warranty?

Dead easy to fit, rode to B&B had a cup of coffee, rode away, job done. Warranty is only effected if a non standard component contributes to the failure that you are claiming for under warranty.

Re: 2016 SV650 Tail Tidy
Hi, Geoff I am having a R&G Tail Tidy fitted at my 600ml sevice as it looks very good on your bike, but I have been advised it needs a rear reflector to be road legal and for a MoT not a big problem but just for info.

Stick a little button one on your plate for MOT time apart from that no one will notice or care.

 But the tail tidy comes with a button reflector for your plate... Not sure why you'd pay someone to do it it's really very simple...In any case if you're worried about actual legality, tail tidies probably aren't technically following the EU directive 93/94/EEC see location... |

Re: 2016 SV650 Tail Tidy
Be aware. I have an R&G tail tidy on mine and the fasteners make the Suzuki ones look quality! Replace them with decent s/s ones and grease liberally before fitting as they take the full brunt of spray from the rear tyre (including salt in winter).
You have been warned!

Re: 2016 SV650 Tail Tidy
I had the R & G tail tidy on, certainly get proof of how clean the road was if you ride out when it's wet
 Fitted the original plastics back on as I've just fitted my pannier and top box racks on. And used stainless fasteners as well so that there's some hope of being able to remove them at some point in the future! |
