J-tech Tail Tidy Install | Speed Triple 1200rs

[@Deakzz]

Jeeeeeez. The tail tidy is the first thing anyone should change on their bike but man, it always surprises me just how much of a change they make!

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Mad isn't it 😅

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

Nice! I installed my Evotech a couple of months ago. They sure have the wiring tight in there. I remember when motorcycles had room under the seat for a bunch of stuff. I guess that is not the case these days.

[@johnquinn6764]

Just received my j tech tail tidy for rs 1200 and no extended wire in the kit, Good video by the way

[@sergeantsodom6969]

I'd give them a message, they're usually good with customer service

[@lifefrombehindbars]

Good video. Helps understand it a lot more and what to watch out for.

[@mrconks]

Picked my bike up on Thursday. Soon as I got home I did my tail tidy. It got me swearing a couple times. Those wires and that bloody grommet haha

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Right pain in the arse to figure out!! Hope you're enjoying the bike!

[@isnknox]

I just now installed one myself, and I dont know why you pulled the harness-cable up through the hole when you just could've pulled the one connector down through the hole and the harness would be free :)

[@richardpearson4248]

Great video shame motorcycle manufacturers don't put one on as standard stay safe looking forward to more videos 🇬🇧👍

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Thanks mate! Some standard euro rulings probably

[@itinerantwayfarer1904]

Nice video and very informative. 5:32 that grease is to stop potential corrosion of the connectors btw

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Thanks mate! Thought as much

[@stevenhoward8792]

Hi mate ,good video on the tail tidy it looks really smart and the shed is looking very tidy, you might want to watch a guy called bike of rye think that's what hes called, very interesting and informative video on buying a bike on PCP ,thinking that's how you purchased your bike it's worth a look mate.👍

[@lehanhattingh3058]

Loving the videos man Planning on getting my Speed Triple in June I hope you do exhaust on this beauty I think it will sound like a maniac with a full system

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it Exhaust is being put on as we speak

[@chem599]

That looks so much better 👌 would love one of them bikes! Good video fella

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Cheers mate 😊

[@Mog1290r]

Bikes looking great dude .I'll meet you at J&S soon and have a proper look round it ,then you can take the SDR out :-)

[@svenpoch214]

Great job, looks really much better than before 👌 But what interested to me is what kind of fender did you installed from Pyramid? Thanks Sven ✌️

[@gordyt1970]

Great video thanks 🙏🏻

[@91scalloped]

I would add some anti seize on those bolts going into the tail to prevent corrosion. Also, that isn’t grease to keep the dust out, it is silicone to keep the water out. Just food for thought.

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Cheers for the comment, Pointless adding anti-seize. Once the screws are in place, water wont work itself upward despite capillary action- the loctite will do fine. Also rgd the dirt (not dust) is why I added 'water*' as subtext to correct my mistake. Doesn't feel like silicone, and smelt of grease.

[@craigc3596]

Nice. I went with the trust engineering one. Looks like it needs to be bent down a little? Plate sits a bit too much towards the horizontal?

[@sergeantsodom6969]

It's fine, probably the angle of the GoPro/wide angle

[@lucaargento8552]

Hai lasciato le frecce e luce originali vero ?

[@PLVC3BO]

Jesus christ your moto plates are larger than our car plates here in Canada. Screws up the "tidiness'" for sure!

[@sergeantsodom6969]

And this is classed as illegal, our standards are 9", massive!

[@PLVC3BO]

@@sergeantsodom6969 Whoaaa... our plates may be physically smaller here, but the price for licenses, registrations and insurances are exorbitant!

[@sinisterd]

Glad I went with the evotech now, there is no way I could cope with the wires all hanging, great video tho

[@sergeantsodom6969]

The wires aren't hanging, if you watch the video

[@sinisterd]

I could see all the wiring to all the lights, there are none with the evotech it's all inside the tail tidy, no wires at all, it might just be me I'm fussy 😁

[@sergeantsodom6969]

@@sinisterd Oh I see what you mean, the fact you can see the wires- not that theyre hanging loose. Fair does I hope you enjoy your evotech! Though Im not paying £200 for one

[@californiapoontappa]

I'm thinking about taking that whole plate holder blinker and lights off all together and rigging up a plate holder with some plumbers tape just enough to have my plate seem but no blinkers, do you think after taking that off it is possible to just push the wires up into the bike or would there be wires hanging out. I don't like any of the tail tidys out right now and I'm trying to get rid of that bulbous thing hanging off the back. Let me know what you think if you understand what I'm saying lol

[@sergeantsodom6969]

I kindof get you but that would be sketchy, but yeah theres enough room to get the wiring back up I'd say

[@91scalloped]

Where did you get your knee grips for the tank? Everyone says they can’t get them.

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Eazigrip, I think I got them off eBay actually! Might be worth sending them an email

[@91scalloped]

@@sergeantsodom6969 very much appreciated. I don’t like the feeling of slipping off the bike in a corner. So I’ve been desperate to find some. Thanks for the info.
