Who has a Yamaha tail tidy ? Do they come with a lock cover. R&G are great, but leave the seat removal lock expposed to road crap. Thanks in advance. Andy

I have the Yamaha tail tidy. Fantastic piece of kit, although a bit like Mecanno to assembly. You transfer the lock cover from the original so it works in the same way.
 
with the Evotech tail tidy is a rubber cap for the lock................. you can buy them for a few pence. keeps all the crap out nicely. bit fiddly to use but it's rare that my seat has to come off.
 
Yes, although the instructions don't mention it, you miss out the long crane jib bit :)

The bit I like is you can retain the reflector, which may just save a car hitting you (who knows) or an MOT fail.

Thanks all I like looks of it compared to stock, I open my seat daily to get to disc lock, they must a been tripping when they decided to put lock under there lol!!!
 
Thanks. As long as i can have the lock protected, i will buy one. I like the yamaha one as you can use the mid section in autumn/winter to stop all the crap flinging up your back.
 
I have the Yam tail tidy and have fit the Rizoma rear light.
It is very ridged compared to some others and doesnt wobble all over the place.
Cheapest is from Yamabits where there on offer for £74.99
 
If you are open to some alternatives to the Yamaha tail tidy, I got the Yoshimura tail tidy and fitted it yesterday.

I chose it because it retained the OEM lock cover and positioned the plate and lights all very tight together, much tighter than the R&G which I also though was a little flimsy and didn't like because of the no lock cover thing.

The installation is fairly straight forward although the assembly of the tail tidy is a little fiddly because of the way it incorporates the numberplate into its design, then end result is a very rigid frame that also protects the number plate from damage (Australian number plates are pretty flimsy and easily bent if only attached by the top bolt holes)

The Plate light is very compact and lights up the plate very well.

the OEM lock cover is retained from the stock hanger, but is trimmed down to fit the smaller Yoshimura.

Here are some pic's of it from different angles.

Hi Clint where did you purchase your Yoshi tail tidy and how much was it, as it looks cool and the seat lock is still protected. I like it
