Fender Eliminator Tail Tidy?

Hi Guys


Been searching a tail tidy for my 2002 1000 but cant seem to find much on-line?


Any suggestions?


Cheers

Thats because they don't make one.


You will need to get a complete new undertray from someone like skidmarx, ermax, etc. Yamaha used to do their own, made by TCP I believe, try looking for one of them. (check out european eBay too.)

I wonder if something like this below would be a cheaper option?

Although they look trick. personally I'd have concerns of the brightness of the brake light obscuring the indicator when it's lit. Although the distance apart isn't covered by the MOT, there is a section to consider along the lines of a light not obscuring the operation of another. The regs regarding construction and use do say that the inner edges of the rear indicators must be at least 180 mm apart. I'm in the process of fitting an Ermax undertray and the instructions point out the 180mm construction rule. I considered integral indicators myself but will have to come up with something else once the undertray is fitted. They do look cool though.

TBH I was looking at these simply for the clear rear light aspect, and was not considering connecting the indicator part of the light at all, just brake light function, but then I thought about a tail tidy and wondered how well this would work ( considering its about £60 cheaper the the under tray )


I might just get One and then see how bright it is, if as you suspect too dull using both functions, at least I will have a clear rear light lens lol

Percymama,

Sounds good, hope it works out ok........what are you going to spend the 60 quid on? Lol.

[Percymama]

I'll spend the extra on a nice street fighter screen haha

I've fitted led bulbs to my standard brake lights, brighter than normal, and more power for my heated grips ha
