Might be worth checking if Pyramid or someone else makes an extension for that.
This is a good option. Better than the R&G one I recon.Same here in the US. I have an R&G tail tide on order already.....whenever the **** that comes available again! You guys across the pond are buying up all the aftermarket parts!!
anyone how much weight is saved with a tail tidy? is it even worth it besides the looks? I'm seeing now that some of the aftermarket ones place the right indicator light in a position where it gets melted by the exhaust heat...
It most definitly will!Hi Chaps
Think one of you already asked ...but if I fit a tail tidy will this cause road spray to cover the back of my jacket?
nowhere near as bad as my street triple was, but yeah it happens a bitHi Chaps

This is with the stock turn signals also right and due to the heat shield it comes with?Just need to make sure the blinker isout of the exhaust firing line, I think the chap who melted his on here was using a homemade jobby, although I could be wrong. I've got the R&G - no issues with either stock or akra.
Stock signals yes, although these are the EU one’s which might be different to other regions?This is with the stock turn signals also right and due to the heat shield it comes with?
For US\Canada owners, be aware that our stock turn signals are way bulkier than the stock LED's fitted elsewhere, and the R&G heat guard does NOT fit US\Canadian bikes. I know first hand, and made R&G aware of it. Maybe they've modified it now (it was 3 months ago I told them) but just a heads up.Don’t think my R&G came with a heat shield, it was one of the first gen, I got it when the bike first launched, they may have added it since just in case.

Chic, it actually became a non issue for me, because I installed an Ixil Ixrace M2 slip-on exhaust which is well away from the signal. However, I did ride for a while with the R&G tail tidy (no heat shield), stock exhaust and stock signals, and had no issue at all with the signal getting hot. Admittedly the weather was a lot colder at the time, but I often touched the signal after a long-ish ride, and it was barely warm.Mark, have you changed out your blinkers or modified the heat shield?
Hahahaha funny you should say that cause I was thinking that the tail tidy will force me to spend more money in n exhaust eventually! I am still undecided on exhaust but am leaning towards the Remus which also has that kind of clearance from the blinker. Once I get the tidy with the heat shield, I will install it and see how it fairs. If I need more shielding, then I will use my tape, and if it still gets hot, time to drop the money on an exhaust! Glad to hear it didn't seem to affect the blinker and wasn't hot. I will def keep an eye on it though!
