RG Tail Tidy

I ordered this way back when it was about the only one available. I have since added the Panigale euro lights to it, and I think it looks perfect. It looks genuine, like it is OEM, but also the right size and placement. I think I paid $150 for the adapter, and $80 for the euro lights. I am not nuts for the ones that get placed way down the tail, almost touching the tire.

Hi Trauma, I am waiting for delivery of my Tri and looking at options for a tail tidy, the RG unit you have looks good but I am worried that it wont suit the licence plates which we have in NZ as they are wide and thin compared to more square shape of Euro/UK/US plates and the NZ plate might block the turn signals as the top mounting point for the plate appears to be in line with the indicators. Is it possible for you to measure the distance between the indicators when mounted on the RG unit and also confirm that plates top mounting points are indeed in line with the indicators or not? Thanks Guy

Hi Guy, I have the Rizoma unit arriving in a day or two (purchased from another member) so you will be able to have a look at that shortly if you wish ?

Looks good, I have ordered the R&G and have their LED micro indicators to go on as well, should look clean but semi-legal at the same time.

Check out the EVOTECH tail tidy....They look much sleeker and cleaner sideview than the R&G ones...

The EVOTECH looks more OEM...you also retain your stock LED signal lights...

I had a choice between the EVOTECH's and R&G's....saw the actual R&G's installed on a Panigale and cant compare with the design and cleaner, sleeker look of the EVOTECH's....purchased the EVOTECH.

Hey mate, I've bought R&G before but I felt Evotechs option looked 10 times better. Easy fit and looks great, that would be my suggestion if that's the way you want to go

Can you upload a pic? Mine with the Euro turn signals is very clean, and definitely looks OEM.

Not mine, but you get the idea
