Swap FZ1 tail tidy for standard unit?
« on: 05 October 2015, 09:19:45 pm »
Does anyone fancy swapping a tail tidy for a 2013 FZ1-S for the standard unit?

I'd happily forego the improved looks for better weather protection.

I've got a standard one knocking around if you want it.
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Thanks for the responses chaps.

Quick question; what's the original like for keeping the crap off your back?

It works quite well afaik. I certainly knew the difference when I put a stumpy tail tidy on, my back ended up soaked in bad weather!

Thanks Steve. What are you looking for in return for yours? Swap or cash?


Daft question perhaps, but what year is yours and were there any changes to the tail units between that and the 2013?

We'll I've not got my gen 2 any more so it's useless to me. Unless there's anyone else that you'd prefer a swap with you can have it with pleasure.

It's off a 2010 bike, not sure if there were any changes at all.
