Tail Tidy's are TERRIBLE on ADV bikes!!!!

[@DragoniteMotoJP]

After watching my Friend customize his CRF250L in a crash, I'm re-concidering tail tidy's 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYqkoH2shq9mbdk

I've been jumping from the OEM license plate holder to the tail tidy i have currently, and for the last year, i've accepted the tail tidy and all the dirt and mud that comes flying to my back/helmet, seat and all over the bike... i just wash the bike more often and changed the jacket from the tricolor Alpinestar Honda one i had from the Africa Twin to the black Andes V3 one... lolol all that beeing "said", you are right, it's not functional, just looks better and removes a little weight from the bike! Have a great christmas and ride safe!

[@DragoniteMotoJP]

Thanks you. I'm reconsidering the tail tide after hating my friend crack his oem in half😅

[@OGafanhoto]

@@DragoniteMotoJP that might be an expensive "crack"... i cracked the rear part of the front fender and i paid 136€ just for that... lolol stoped using the fender extender with these tires in that precise moment! 😂

the only reason I wanna install a fender eliminator on my t7 is tolls, I refuse to pay tolls in the city, that's why I still have my mt07... and the windbuffeting, I haven't found a way to get rid of the windbuffeting on my t7.

I took my windscreen off. More air coming at me but no buffetting

[@rushiiiop]

@@DragoniteMotoJP I tried the windscreen adjuster, shorter windscreen, no windscreen and no windscreen + no winglets and still it doesn't feel like the clean wind I get with the mt07. Last option is the unit garage classic kit but is 1400 euros + shipping + import taxes ( that is a fu$%# roulette you can pay almost nothing or double the price you paid for the item)

@rushiiiop the fairing is probably a source of the rough winds. But saying "take off the Fairing" is a big ask😅

The original tail looks 100% better.

[@Geshmaal]

I don't understand the tail tidy trend. You're paying money to take a functional part off the bike...and it's one you can't even see when riding?

[@DragoniteMotoJP]

Some like the look, or the small weight savings. But my friend rocket his oem fender the other day. This cheap tail tidy is disposable, I can keep oem for inspection or re-sale

@@greyfisher3897 Luckily I could care less about what others think of my tail tidy on my T7 , to me it looks far better than the enormous hunk of plastic that came from factory and yes I ride a lot offroad, it's the same as people putting mag wheels on a car , it's just a preference and most guys that love their bikes like to enjoy the way it looks as well as performs, cost about $20 and removed excess plastic and I could enjoy the look so win all round for me.

Original Tail is very better.

[@thodoris3790]

Transalp and hornet have very nice tail tidys

[@DragoniteMotoJP]

Yes, but through a lot of mud

I'll go a step further and say, IMHO - and I know many will disagree, but that's ok - tail tidies are a waste of time and money.
