FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
To fit the R&G tail tidy, remove the seat using the key at the rear of the bike, as shown in picture
1.
Remove the four Torx bolts that secure the plastic mudguard in place, as shown in pictures 2 & 3.
Gently pull this forward to remove it from the rubber mounts at the rear and clear of the bike, as
shown in picture 4.
If the pannier rack is fitted, remove the two luggage mounting points, one on either side of the
bike, as shown in picture 5.
This now allows access to the rack mounting bolts. Remove all of these, two on either side of the
bike, and remove the pannier rack, as shown in pictures 6 & 7.
Remove the final two bolts that secure the aluminium luggage frame in place and remove from the
bike, as shown in picture 8.
Within the rear subframe, there is a large plastic tray which most of the bodywork attaches too, as
shown in picture 9. We advise to check this tray and all the panels are fitted centrally to ensure the

R&G Tail Tidy fits correctly and has equal panel gaps all around. It is suggested to loosen these
bolts whilst fitting the tail tidy and to re-tighten when all the parts are satisfactorily fitted.
Remove the Torx bolt that connects the two plastic surround panels to the OEM licence plate
hanger, as shown in picture 10.
These parts can now be un-clipped from each other and spread apart, as shown in picture 11.
Remove the four push rivets, shown in pictures 12 & 13, by pushing the centre through. These
plastics pins will push through into the OEM licence plate hanger. With the pins out, remove the
outer section of the push rivet.
The top half of the hanger can now be removed by lifting the rear upward and then sliding back to
remove it from the lock barrel, as shown in pictures 14 & 15.
On the underside of the OEM licence plate hanger, remove the two Torx bolts, as shown in picture
16.
The OEM licence plate hanger can now be gently pulled rearward to un-locate the lock and then
dropped clear of the rear of the bike, as shown in picture 17.
Disconnect the wiring connector for the rear light, as shown in picture 18, along with the cable ties
that bunch the wires together.
Using a very small screwdriver, disconnect the indicator connectors, as shown in pictures 19 & 20.
It is a good idea to mark the matching connectors on one side, to ensure the correct re-fitment.
The wiring can now be fed through and the OEM licence plate hanger removed from the bike, as
shown in picture 21.
On the bike, pull the wiring up through the hole on the underside of the tail so that they sit within
the plastic tray, as shown in picture 22.
On the OEM hanger, use a small screwdriver to firstly remove the indicator connector from the
mount and then remove the mount from the hanger by inserting the thin screwdriver under the back
and pushing the prong to one side, as shown in pictures 23 & 24. Do this for both connectors &
mounts.
Remove the key lock barrel from the plastic, by pushing down on the exposed tab and sliding out,
as shown in picture 25.
To fit the R&G Tail Tidy, take the R&G tail light (item 1 –LA0003) and fit the plastic light shroud
(item 2), as shown in picture 26.
Locate this assembly onto the licence plate bracket (item 5 –TB0185 Part 1) and tighten the nuts
on the rear, as shown in pictures 27 & 28.
If fitting R&G Mini Indicators
Take the mini indicator and feed the wires though the hole of one of the indicator adaptors (item 4
–I0041), as shown in picture 29.
Fit one length of heatshrink supplied (item 11) to protect the indicator wiring before feeding the
wires through the indicator mounting hole on the tail tidy, as shown in picture 30. Feed the flanged
nut over the wiring and tighten onto the threaded boss of the indicator.
Take the main plastic body (item 7 –TB0185 Part 2) and feed all the wiring through the hole
below the hole for the lock, as shown in pictures 31 & 32.
To fit the R&G Mini Indicators, the OEM indicator wiring will need to be cut and shut in order to
connect the indicators. To do this, cut through the rear indicator wires about 50mm from the
connector. Strip the ends of the two wires on the connector end and fit the bullet connectors
supplied (item 10 –CON0004) to the two wires for the indicators in order to match them to the
bullet connectors on the R&G Mini Indicators.
If fitting R&G Aero Indicators with LED’s the yellow wire on the Aero Indicators connects with the
black/red or black/blue wire on either indicator and the black wire on the Mini Indicators connects

with the brown wire on the OEM wiring. 1x set of RGR0002 resistors (available separately) are
required to achieve the correct flash rate.
If fitting R&G Mini Indicators with bulbs, the black wire on the Mini Indicators connects with the
brown wire on either indicator and the black/white wire on the Mini Indicators connects with the
black/red or black/blue wire on the OEM wiring.
If fitting R&G Mini Indicators with bulbs, the black wire on the Mini Indicators connects with the
brown wire on either indicator and the black/white wire on the Mini Indicators connects with the
black/red or black/blue wire on the OEM wiring. 1x set of RGR0001 resistors (available
separately) are required to achieve the correct flash rate.
Re-fit the OEM plastic connector mount to the connectors and route the wiring as shown in
pictures 33 & 34. It is advised to route the wiring along the side of the central rib, but there is
room for the wiring down the centre.
If fitting OEM Indicators
Remove the OEM indicators from the OEM licence plate hanger using a 10mm spanner and Torx
bit, as shown in picture 35 & 36.
Fit the indicator to the R&G tail tidy assembly by feeding the wiring through the larger hole on the
indicator tab of the main bracket and then insert the indicator, before rotating to hold in place, as
shown in picture 37. Do not re-fit the nut & Torx bolt at this point as it prevents the fit of the
mounting bolt.
Take the main plastic body (item 7 –TB0185 Part 2) and feed all the wiring through the hole
below the hole for the lock, as shown in pictures 38 & 39.
Re-fit the OEM plastic connector mount to the connectors and route the wiring as shown in
pictures 40 & 41. It is advised to route the wiring along the side of the central rib, but there is
room for the wiring down the centre.
Remove the metal J-Clip from the OEM plastic cover and re-fit this to the main plastic body in the
same position, as shown in pictures 42 & 43.
With the wiring now located through the main plastic body, this assembly needs to be held up to
the bike and the have the wiring fed through the hole in the undertray, to allow the wiring to
accessed from the top of the tail unit, as shown in pictures 44 & 45. Pull as much of the wiring
through as possible and re-connect to the OEM connectors on the loom.
To connect the new tail light to the main loom, the wires need to be “cut and shut”. To do this, cut
the connector off the OEM wiring and fit bullet connectors to all three of the wires. Fit the opposite
connectors to the tail light wiring and connect the wiring as follows: OEM brown to black, OEM
red/grey to yellow & OEM black/grey to red.
It is a good idea to check for the correct operation of the lights at this stage.
Take the two metal extensions (item 6 –E0059) and screw these through the two rearward slots on
the main plastic body and into the threaded bosses on the underside of the subframe, as shown in
picture 47. Ensure the stepped boss on the extension sits within the slot and the front holes align
before using a 12mm socket to tighten the extensions. Whilst doing this, please check to make sure
no wiring gets trapped or pinched between the main plastic body and underside of the tail.
Fit the key lock barrel in the same way that it was removed, ensuring that the final tab on the back
expands out and locks on the plastic, as shown in pictures 48 & 49.The lock should now operate
correctly and it’s a good idea to check at this stage.
Now the licence plate bracket can be offered into position against the plastic body. Whilst doing
this, pull through any loose wiring from above to prevent an excess on the outside of the bike, as
shown in picture 50.

Fit the four M6 x 16mm long button head bolts (item 3) through the four mounting holes on the
licence plate bracket and into the threaded extensions on the rear two holes and through the plastic
and into the threaded bosses on the front, as shown in pictures 51 & 52. Whilst tightening the front
two bolts, ensure the swaged spacer on the licence plate bracket locates correctly through the slot
and tightens up correctly. At this point, if the plastic tray and bodywork does not line up very well,
it can be re-positioned whilst the bolts are still loose. Once satisfied with the fit, tighten all bolts,
including those on the plastic tray & bodywork.
Re-fit the Torx bolt that secures the plastic surround to the top of the main plastic body using the J-
Clip, as shown in picture 53. Again, this can be adjusted sideways to get a perfect fit.
If re-fitting the OEM indicators, the nut & Torx bolt to secure them in place can be re-fitted and
tightened on both indicators, as shown in picture 54.
Re-fit the aluminium luggage frame and tighten the two Torx bolts to secure in place.
Re-fit the pannier rack using the four Torx bolts along with the additional two mounts luggage
mounts fitted after.
Check that all bodywork mounting bolts have been re-tightened and that the tail tidy is securely
fixed in place.
Re-fit the licence plate (it may require drilling).
Depending on local laws, attach enclosed reflector in an appropriate location.
Test the license plate illuminator and all lights before riding.
