yamaha genuine tail tidy

[Yam MT 09]

hello everyone , I know it's a bit boring but has anyone fitted the genuine Yamaha tail tidy / number plate hanger ? I am trying to find out if it is shorter that the standard one or the same length , if it is shorter could you tell me by how much please . thank you to all in advance , cheers .

 

[chump]

depends if you fit the centre jib or not

 

[Yam MT 09]

thanks a lot for that Chump , I'd forgot that you could leave the centre part out . does the number plate sit ok as when I left the centre part out on my MT 07 the number plate seemed to lay a little flatter if you know what I mean ? really like the MT logo over the number plate light thou' , cheers Chump .

 

[chump]

flatter I reckon. will let you know when I fit mine at the weekend.

 

[Yam MT 09]

Hey Chump , did you fit your tail tidy at the weekend ? how does it look ? cheers

 

[chump]

I'll let you know when it arrives.............. it got delayed

 

[Yam MT 09]

ok mate , soz about that !!

 

[chump]

hey no worries mate.

got it fitted today without the jib. the angle is flatter, and adjustable a bit. looks good I reckon with the original lock cover too.

hello Chump , do the electrics just plug into the original ? did you get it for a good price ? where from ? thanks again mate .

 

[chump]

the replacement tail tidy has an LED plate light which plugs into the original connector.no need to replace connectors.

it has ears for either the OE indicators or aftermarket. I have the Yamaha LED indicators so they fit straight on, where others need adaptor plates which didn't fit very well.

I bought mine on ebay from Jersey so saving on VAT.

It is basically the easiest one to attach to the bike because it is 100% plug and play. It comes with great instructions, you can't go wrong with it.

This is the end result:

Hi Hiivasieni , thanks for the picture , is that without the extension / centre part ? your bike looks good , I nearly bought an orange one !! cheers mate

 

[chump]

that is without the centre part. I wouldn't say it's the easiest to fit - it's a pain in the arse to put together, but it fits and looks good.

 

[Yam MT 09]

thanks again for the info Chump , cheers mate .

Yeah, it is without the centre part. I don't see any reason to use the centre part because it makes the new holder look almost like the stock holder. There are a few tricky parts assembling the holder together. The trickiest part in my opinion was removing the small spring that holds the seat's key hole cap in place and especially fitting it to the new holder frame. You don't have to do that, but I think it is pretty critical to have the key hole cap to keep all the dust and debris out. A dumb decision from Yamaha to put it under the seat. But the instructions are fairly good and clear so if you are even a little talented with your hands you shouldn't have any problems. It took me about 30-45 minutes in total. It is a great looking holder with a neat LED light.
