What exactly is a "Tail tidy":confused:

I think they're both good makes, but the Hamicad tends to get the best reviews. I had one and can definitely recommend it.

+1 for the Hamicad.

3 winters later and its still mint.

Is Google down today? ;)

It's a replacement for the (rather large) piece of plastic that holds your number plate - it's a lot smaller and makes it look sleeker/better/etc on the rear end.

I have a evotech tail tidy, works well, and easy to fit :smt038

Thinking of getting one of these, but unsure which one to get.

Is it better to go for the standard one or the one for the mini indicator one.
I don't have a clue about eletrics so i am being pulled towards a standard one.

Is there any wiring involved when fitting these or is it just pull the connectors out and then replace?

A bit of topic but is it easy to fit mini indicators to the front.

Hamicad at least lets you fit either type of indicator so no need to choose. I think I had to cut my wiring for the tail light (and incidentally for the mini indicators I had too) but you can get adaptors for both of those.

I looked at getting a tail tidy but decided on other mods first (airflow screen, crash bungs, scott-oiler etc) on the basis that I'll be taking nobbylass on the bike a fair bit and as I understand it, taking the snow shovel stock rear off and replacing it with a tail tidy would mean she gets covered in mud.

Now whilst that may appeal to me in some respects, she wouldn't be happy. So, I'd presumably need a hugger which is more money. Although I like the look of tail tidies, don't really want to fork out for 2 x bits of kit (just yet).
