Default Tail tidy for the gixxer!!!

It had to be done, first on the list was to get rid of the hunk of plastic on the rear. Why do they waste money on sculpting something so unnecessary when a neat little bracket does the job just aswell and looks 1000 times better. Anyway job done.

Before:



After:

Looks much better, what tail tidy is that ?

Now all you need to do is unbolt that dustbin from the side of your bike

R & G tail tidy, was worth every penny even come with a nice little numberplate light.

Exhaust is the next thing on me list but will save up abit first would like a full system to get rid of the CAT, release some more power and noise!!!

I was gonna say - first thing on the list should be to replace Sputnik with something a little more desirable. Tail tidy should have been number 2

Looks cool!

Considering the tail tidy cost 10 times less than the exhaust i want i thought i'd get the tail done first as the exhaust actually makes a decent noise..

Do you think ^^^ they've made a mistake £430 for a full yoshi system and can. Surely it can't be??

Nope, that's about right - I would have expected closer to £650 tbh.

Good improvement, get your exhaust from the states though.

I know a company that can get you the yoshi full system for under £300 delivered, no extra cost.
