Which tailtidy?

Was it the one from www.RSVR.net

I got one a while back and had to slim the reg plate down to get the indicators to fit.

The only thing I did not like was the poxy little number plate light. Waste of space.

I got a tidy tail

i did not bother with that piece of shite tail light

I found a nice stick on LED one for about 10 quid that looks lovely :)

and agree on the plate needing to be trimmed a little - is why i will be getting a slightly smaller sail board....

(Was the evo one from rsvr btw)

When I got mine the bulb was smashed. Thought about complaining, but I didn't like it anyway so junked it and put in some leds.

Aladinsaneyuk - what type of LED and where from - is it stick on with a battery or summat?

I put one on ages ago so Nyah!

I used the little light for a while but the connections broke, it's a bit crap.

I found these 10mm 12v LED's in a boy racer type car shop, I'm sure halfords will have them. They're like replacemets for side repeater bulbs. drilled a hole just about big enough for it in the tail section and pushed in hard, so it's a friction fit, but had no problems. Forunately my old parts bike has plenty if the connectors in the dash so it was an easy enough fix.

I can answer this having seen Aladinsane's (It's same as mine).

It is a Motrax jobbie available from most dealers I expect. Costs 9.99 and will probably outlast your rear tyre but that's all

I already had one pack in and am on the replacement now. That's ok as the dealer just swapped it over BUT as it's stick on it's a bit of a pain to replace.

Here's a pic.....

Wish my tail tidy, and the rest of the bike for that matter, was as clean as Fausto's

Aladinsaneuk · #13 Post by **Aladinsaneuk** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 7:19 pm

spot on

and 10 quid.... hell thats fair for a year :)

i have stuck mine actually on the number plate - no drilling that way

Thanks chaps - I need to do something cos as Falcopops sez - the crappy connector on the crappy bulb is really ... well..... crappy..
