Calum122 · Guru

Hello,

So has anyone ever bought one of these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140667468274?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

If so, any good?

Installation wise hard easy?

DTCrazedKid · DTR Senior Member

i have that and it's easy to install, plug in light cable and drill holes in rear fender and bolt on.

Calum122 · Guru

Tidy!

I'm thinking of running it parallel with the original brake light and rear light.

Possible do you rekon?

Calum122 · Guru

That's nice. Thanks for the photo uploads.

Seanyftw · Guru

That's pretty sick, might get one myself lol

Calum122 · Guru

WHY DID I ORDER IT FRIDAY! So frustrating cause it actually looks really nice. Sean I'll probably do like a little video review of it when I get it so i'll PM you if you want to have a 360 view of it first.

yeah go for it mate, i got a similar one but to be honest i don't trust it much looks flimsy and on the dual carraigeways it wobbles around like Micheal J Fox, was only £20 but yeah i like the look of this one.

It's phat to be fair! Real sturdy and bright. Sets the Numberplate at a perfect level. I'd reccomend it. Really worth it.

Bit late but i've ordered one now lmao

Calum122 · Guru

Lol. Better late than never matey :D

are you using both rear lights? and your indicators are orange, mine are clear but yours is also a 2004?

Calum122 · Guru

Yeah. I bought them off wemoto. I found clear ones now I've got them on. Did this a long time again.

eG x LoGiKzZ · Guru

have you still got your old ones? need to replace one of mine, bought one of ebay that was supposed to be the same, was roughly same shape but very different :/

Calum122 · Guru

No I sold them cheap as soon as I bought new ones. To be fair mate they're really cheap. You want to go to wemoto but don't go to the RE go to the X. That's where the clear lenses are

Hmm, I've just bought one of these and have a slight problem. The Acerbis tail tidy has three wires coming from it - red, black and yellow. The original number plate holder only has two wires coming from it. The question I have for you guys is this - where does the extra yellow wire go? I've tried splicing it together with the other yellow wire coming from my rear light, but when I apply the brake it cuts out the Acerbis lights. Please help evileye

Calum122 · Guru

I'm yet to wire it i parallel. A quick look through the manual should explain a log though.

From what I remember from wiringmine, black to black, yellow on loom to red on tail tidy, and yellow on tail tidy to blue on loom.

Once again, thanks Nev. I'll give that a whirl tomorrow. Cheers

Btw when I say frame, I meant I drilled through this 6mm welded nut, on the frame.

Fitted my tail tidy today :) was slightly concerned at the lack of space for me indicators. Gonna do something like nev has but wondering if Nevs are behind his number plate? I have some extensions I took of the grab rail so I could try them anyhow :)

NEV · Guru

Mines been drilled through the frame to take the 8/9mm thread I think it is of the indicators Shaun, I'll see if I have a pic

i know i know old thread but no need to start a new thread if this is the info i need.

is this deffo the way to wire these tail tidy's into the loom so it all works like the stock light ? i don't want to cut my old loom so ive bought a connector block for the tail tidy so i can wire the block up and plug it into the connector on the loom giving me the option to put the bike back to original if wanted without cutting wiring cheers

NEV · Guru

Nope never chopped owt from the loom.All good to go

phils · DTR Respected Member

Cool my tail tidy just has 3 bare wires so I'd rather have the plug on to plug it into the loom rather than cut my loom up to wire it in
