Just got the 1299 version of NRC tail tidy/LED indicators

80shilling · May 5, 2015

Just received the NRC tail tidy/LED indicator package. Will install this weekend; it looks dead simple.

I will post pics when completed...

McLaren12C · May 5, 2015

I installed mine last night. Hardest part was I was taking the passenger pegs off too. Fuuuuuccccckkkkkk those bolts were in deep and really tight. Also, my kit was missing a pair of nuts/bolts to connect the license plate bracket to the mounting bracket. Also, removing the stock tail bit was a unique experience - need LONG allen keys to reach two of the bolts (and a flashlight helped immensely)

Let's hope I have all the bolts.. How long was the allen key you needed? Might have to swing by the hardware store...

Got any pics?

Looks great, I have a couple of questions before I pull trigger on this:

Are the indicators and black plate only held in place with the double sided tape?
Do you need the passenger pegs installed to fix the license plate holder and how is it attached?

bp7178 · May 5, 2015

Yes, double sided tape and a long bolt, but the bolt is optional. If you use it, you cannot use the channel under the seat for tool storage.

No, the license plate holder uses shorter screws if you don't have the pegs installed. There are collars with longer bolts for use with the foot pegs. The license holder uses the bolts threads for the rearward mount for the pegs.

Shilling if you have t handle hexs your good to go

Looking forward to pictures on this instal.

Just to be clear; did you say that you can use the double sided tape and a bolt if you fore-go the tool storage? I have this weird feeling using double-sided tape for anything other than a random GoPro mount or something.

Here are some pictures of mine, I just put her on this weekend. I put the bolt in as well, and I can still easily get my "Tool Kit" in. It is just long enough, but I will probably replace with a stainless one at some point.

I had to slot out the adapter plate as well, but it is aluminum so that was simple. It just needed to be opened up a tiny bit to easily fit the M8 bolts, which is also what I picked up from the hardware store to install the adapter plate to match the peg bolts. Button head worked well.

It is a bit tight in spots to get it all together license plate and all, but once said and done it looks great.

Side note bike is amazing, leaps and bounds above my old 675.

This is NOT correct - as I have the long bolt and the tools in place right now.

+1 - some nice T-handles would've made life a LOT easier.

Beauty. This is the kit for me.

That looks fantastic.!! And YES, the 675 is a wonderful bike, but the 1299 is in another league entirely. I made the mistake of letting my Wife ride my 1299 and now she wants to sell her 675R and get a 1299...

They must have shortened the bolt. The one that came with my kit was MUCH longer than needed. In fact, i didn't use it at all, and instead drilled the under tray and used longer bolts through the turn signals, completely negating the double sided tape.

That looks really, really good. I like this tail tidy more than any others I have seen. I like how it moves the tag underneath, instead of at the bottom of the tail section.

Ill ride mine on the street for a month or so before racing it, so im going to order me one of these.

kpn · May 6, 2015

Last I knew there was a 10% off code valid until June I believe. 1299 was the code.

Hi! I'm new to the forum. Was wondering about the license plate light on this. Does it just shine down from the hole in the back plate? Does anyone know if the setup is DOT kosher? Thanks!

fzr100098 · May 28, 2015

Yes there is a front facing light that illuminates the plate, should be ok for DOT

Ander01 · May 28, 2015

Very nice. My favorite elim kits

Ander01 · May 28, 2015

I got the mirror plugs too. I would post pics but I can't seem to get it to work. Highly recommend them as well.
