I haven't seen anyone here mention this tail tidy kit, and the only video on youtube was a very short clip from their own company. I was ready to buy the motobox kit, but didn't like the price so much when I accidentally came across this Olson Performance.
I really liked the way it looked and the unique blinker design, plus the price at $210 was pretty good. So I figured I'd give it a try and give it a review.
First of all, shipping was decent. Pretty standard 1 week wait. Ordered late Thursday night, received the next Thursday. Packaging was good, each piece was individually wrapped in bubble wrap.
First thing I noticed when opening the box, is that there were no instructions. Just a box of parts and a receipt. They weren't really necessary anyways, but it would've been nice to have especially for wire routing.
Installation was pretty straight forward, and (almost) everything fit as it should without modification. The only thing that wasn't right is the mount for the license plate light is too close to the tail of the bike, leaving no room for the light itself. Solution... Zip ties. Or don't even install the light. I figure the less reason to be pulled over the better, so zip tied it was.
Overall for the price, fit/finish, and looks, I think it is a good value. The blinker LEDs are really bright and will be easily visible during the day. One concern I do have though is how long it will last with it being so close to the exhaust. I guess I'll find out.
Some pics!

Pretty clean looking install
MUCH better than stock!
