Thanks for your feedback. How many cables did you have to disconnect in the installation?

Thanks for your feedback. How many cables did you have to disconnect in the installation?

There are four cables:

1. Brake light
2. Left Indicator
3. Right Indicator
4. Plate light

As a different plate light is used, replacement wiring is provided and easy to fit. All colour coordinated.

Thanks guys

Looks gorgeous! Could you post an update once you’ve done some wet rides?

This is the best tail tidy I’ve seen, but after EnglishBikerDan switched from R&G back to stock (and some other reports), it’s making me hesitate.

I live in Edinburgh, so wet rides aren’t uncommon...

Yeah of course no worries mate. Don't often ride in the rain, but when I do I will let you know the results. I expect there will be a lot of dirt thrown up, but that's to be expected / that's the trade off really.

I have to say that even with the OEM plate hanger you get spray deposited on the pillion seat area, so it will only be worse with a tail tidy fitted. Up in bonny Scotland you are going to have more wet weather riding than most, so I would stick with OEM.

Thanks! Had a lot of issues removing the 4 x 8mm Hex bolts holding in the OEM snow scoop. Unfortunately, your standard Allen keys won't do it as they are machined in too tight by the factory. Once they're removed though it was pretty simple!

I've installed it today, I had the same issue with those bolts, holy crap those things were tight, had to go to a mechanic just to loosen those as with standard allen keys it was impossible. Tried with allen keys & hammer and those things were way too tight.
Process is simple, but takes a bit of time specially for a newbie like me.

I installed mine this morning, really like the look of it and having the adjustable arms to fit a variety of plates was a nice touch. No wet test yet... Was dry all day during the ride.

Their factory is not far from me, I keep meaning to pop over and pick one up. I have done in the past as it’s a nice ride out saves on postage and they usually give a decent discount.

They also show you around the factory if they are not too busy.

Nice little company, products are not the cheapest but from experience (and I’ve used a few of their parts) they are good quality.

This!!! I love it when a company gives you a tour of their facilities. To me it shows me that they trust their product(s) 100%...and so should I. Also, I'm willing to bet their customer service is top notch.

The Earle, next time you're there see if you can snap off a few pictures. I always love seeing where things are made!

Will do, it’s a cracking little business

I fitted the evotech to my bike yesterday. I didn’t have any problem getting the bolts off like some of the other posters. I used a ratchet set, not Allen keys. Maybe that helps?
It’s expensive for a bit of metal but I think it’s worth it.

 

[fnation25]

yap ratchet set was how I was get it off also.
Yes bike looks way better

Hope this helps [/QUOTE]

Got the same Tail and radiator guard from Evotech. Yes the price is a bit steep but the looks and quality are more than making up for it 😁

Great looking tail tidy @stevelululu !

If I may, what do you mean by "Only complaint I have is that all the cable routing is done in the open"? Is the wiring exposed to the road? Maybe a picture from the underneath would help
Also, is the angle adjustable? In France, license plate for motocycles must be angled between 0 and 30°...

Angle is non-adjustable, but you should be fine with the stock angle.

As for wiring, it's just not "enclosed" like the stock fender. There's still rubber insulation around all the wires, so nothing is physically exposed. Just means everything gets dirty with spray/dust/road crap.

The Evotech tail tidy is indeed non adjustable but is within the max 30 degrees angle. The wires are routed on the inside of the tail and hold by clips. I like the simplicity of this tail an it’s the shortest of all tidy’s.
