Fitted DP Tail Tidy

Xbox · May 25th, 2012, 04:33 AM

Another fiddly job, which once completed, my wife asks me if it was more difficult than I expected.

My response was "no, pretty much all Ducati jobs are more difficult than expected"

I think Ducati have a cheek calling it "removable for track use" .... 4-bolts, a rubber bung and 3-connectors that are very difficult to stow away

I think not.

So, some pics:

and....

looks good... I like it! I think its better than evotech, would like to see both with the actual plate fixed though to them to be sure.....

BTW, the legendary missing screws are NOT self tappers.

You ideally need:

2x M3x12 for fixing the clamshell together
2x M3x16 for fixing the clamshell together, through the plate light

that looks great. I'll gonna get at DP tail tidy.

SoonerNation · May 25th, 2012, 05:08 AM

Looks good. I'm still debating on which one to get. They have none of these in stock here so I'll be dealing with with the stock one for a little bit.

Please make some pics with the licenseplate mounted.
Paintshop the numbers or use a cardboard, wana see how the final result looks like

And would you make a pic from straight behind, to see how much of the rearlights are covered bij the holder/plate ?

zvez · May 25th, 2012, 06:00 AM

Never mind, found it

I'll take a rear pic, but I don't have a number plate yet ..... kinda relaxed about that sort of stuff here

CaliDuc · May 25th, 2012, 06:43 AM

Looks fantastic. I also have the DP tail tidy .. still waiting for the Tric to put it on.

Xbox · May 25th, 2012, 06:56 AM

OK, so a Q&D square on rear shot...

BTW, my wife loves that I keep the bike indoors.

husker1 · May 25th, 2012, 06:58 AM

Looks really good and much better than the stock set up. Will get it installed at the 604 service (assuming it's arrived by then).

You have a very tolerant wife!

She's Irish actually, so when the fur flies, it really flies, but if not, I'm golden

One question Sir does it come with diffrent back plate holder like the one on this pic cause the one on their site shows a long european back plate holder.

It comes with two back plates to fit US and Euro style.

PaddockStand · May 25th, 2012, 07:43 AM

Is it me, or is the plate angled up towards the sky at 45 degrees with the DP part?

Torquesp · May 25th, 2012, 07:47 AM

Thank you Sir, just got off the phone with rizoma which would be my first choice if they cook something soon if not DP is the way to go.

It looks very stock, which is a good thing IMO
