The blue one above is a complete swap, you unbolt the OEM undertray and fit the Roca one.

The red one requires you to cut down the OEM one, this allows you to retain the OEM tray inside.

went to fit it today and it fits no problems. but there is now a great big gap where the original mudguard went, its the part where the original mudguard contours the gap between the light and the under tray...

anyone else have this problem with any other tail tidy?

i have a K8 650 Sport.

Will take some pics to show what I mean when I get chance.

I think they are all like that, the subframe and the bodywork are a distance between each other which not all tail tidies fill.

I think the EvoTech and Hamicad ones fill the gap with an additional Plate.

OK - finally got round to taking photo's of how my tail tidy fits (or doesn't). Am I being stupid or do they all fit this bad? :confused:

Yes - I know my bike's dirty, it's been parked up for a fortnight then blasted along the M-ways today in the winter grot!

Re: Ebay, German, Tail Tidy

That one looks terrible, I am right in thinking yours is protruding past the body work rather than being buried behind it?

Yep...bought it off someone on here who previously had it on a pointy.

I took off the seat cowl etc, put the tail tidy on, fits ok no i.e. no trouble tightening the bolts etc, but it seems like the spacers are way too long and it sticks out miles.

Re: Ebay, German, Tail Tidy

Hmmm... it's you again!

Not known one to have spacers before, they usually bolt straight onto the subframe the same way the OEM shovel does.

Do you know what make it is?
