Tail Tidy Or Stock Tail

Umm, thats interesting, more tinkering me thinks

 

This is the arse end view, number plate is regulation size...

 

Sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to seeing your pics when you're done.

If you have a dog, Repooh, here's another excuse to buy that Dremel you've been eyeing. It works great to file down your pooch's toenails! Just don't use the same head that you might use for metal bits.

 

I like the look of a tidy, but i sometimes get caught in inclement weather and don't like a rooster tail up my back.

 

@Retired Phil A rooster tail up your back........ lol
Might be a bit of a risky phrase on here

 

Opinionated yep
Right and wrong yep
Correct..... obviously not

 

Don't you think @Dozers Dad that the black bonneville looks sweet?

It's not mine and I've shown the pic before but I just think that bike looks good in so many ways.

 

So project tail is complete, half way between stock and tail tidy

 

Looks terrific, Repooh! That's a cool helmet, too. Is it a new Shoei model?

 

Indeedy, Shoei Ex-Zero, like an open face with chin guard, has a drop down visor, super comfy, great view. I have a Shoei RYD (called something else in the US) for cold days and long trips but the Ex-Zero is my fav

 

Anyone wanna buy a tail tidy for an
ST?
Ken.

 

Cool! Thanks for the info, Repooh! I'll have to check out this model. I have an RF-1200 which I like a lot. I'm a fan of Shoei's. I wonder if the Ex-Zero is called something else in the US too because I haven't seen it or heard of it.

 

Having had a quick google search I think it's called the same in the US Sandi

 

Hey, Helmut Visor, thanks! I just now did a quick google search too. I see the helmet but can't seem to find any vendors that sell it that are actually based in the U.S. I've purchased from European companies before but find it interesting that, for example, a big online retailer like Revzilla doesn't carry it. Neither does Amazon! The search continues, kinda like treasure hunting!

 

Sandi check out T Rex for tail tidy, frame sliders etc. I would post a link but i am phone challenged old phart and have no home computer. Been staring at computer screens 8-10 hours a day since 85.

 

Old fart here, but I prefer my tail tidy to the stock mudguard.
I think it works better with the cast wheel models - wouldn't have done it with my T100 though. (However, I did put the shorter SE guard on).
Still have the original mudguard with Lucas rear light so can change back if I want or if I sell the bike.

 

Tail tidy all the way, stock is just ugly

 

Old git here!

Neat little Barnett(?) stainless mount from W&W Cycles in Germany.

Old school Lucas rear light.

Would probably need a slightly longer mudguard, though.




If you want retro, do it properly.

 

I thought the same as well. Reminded me of the Bell Moto III which I had back in the day....
Much to my surprise, the google machine says it is again now available!!!
