    Looks good, i am picking mine up next week, once i am back to the uk.
    Could you post a couple of photos of what you done under the mud guard. So i can see how you managed this plesse? When i looked at the bike, i thought this might be possible. The original back end is hideous isnt it...

    Looks nice.

    There are a lot of universal once which would work too if there isn't anything made specially for it.

    I like the universal one from trydeal.com, its made out of carbon fiber and cnc aluminum and it also doubles as a plate hider.

    Fantastic job mate, just picked up my new Speed Twin yesterday and the tail end is the only thing I dislike, had a look around and like you could see no tail tidies available anywhere, where did you buy the "cheap Motrax" you used? did you get it online? desperately want one

    It looks like a great bit of kit, i’m going to contact Tecparts and see if they have them in stock. They have a lot of great other bits for the Speed Twin too.

    Yes please. I’m going to see if my dealer would fit it when they prep my bike for delivery. They are in stock at tecbikeparts, I checked earlier today.

    Received my tail tidy from tec bike parts this morning and fitted it, what a difference it has made to the bikes overall looks, delighted with the result, easy to fit, maybe 45 mins or so, only things I had to do was file the plastic connector for the No. plate light down very slightly to fit through hole and put a couple of washers on screws fixing No. light to new unit as original screws slightly long with new part being thinner than original parts.
