D3 tail tidy owners...?

[DJUK]

Hi all, wanting to buy one, but not sure which one to get.... Basically, mines a 10plate and I don't want any warning lights/simbles on the dash. So do either throw up warning things? I'd really like the extreme but like I've said, don't want any problems.

no lights will show

 

[DJUK]

Even with their led number plate light?

Nope, no warnings with the extreme plate with LED lights on mine.

 

[DJUK]

These are for the older ones aren't they? Because I understand the new 2013 ones you can switch the warning lights off. If it is the older one I shall be ordering one in the new year.

 

[Godzilla]

Mine is 2010

 

[DJUK]

Perfect! Cheers

Did you have to slice any wire on the extreme? Just been reading on here and someone put that there was a green and brown wire. Sounds like you may have to...

 

[Godzilla]

I think you may have to cut the wire to the OEM plate light to connect to the extreme LED one. Its easy though.

 

[DJUK]

Hhhhmmmm.... Bet the instructions don't come for that part...

 

[Godzilla]

Mine came with instructions. Easy to follow as well.

 

[DJUK]

Even for the wires part?

 

[Docta13]

tbh honest fella if you are not that way minded when taking your bike apart then maybe you shouldn't do it! its really quite simple, even without instructions

 

[DJUK]

Hahaha. I probably could do it. Just not too keen on cutting wires (like to be able to revert it back to standard). So think I'll stick with the d3 standard I think. Cheers guys.

Buy yourself a couple of posi taps. (search for then on eBay) much easier than splicing and neater. Also remember the green is the live wire!

Btw fitted an extreme a few weeks ago on a 2012. Bloody good kit, you won't be disappointed.

The d3 standard is very nice and not a difficult part to fit.

 

[DJUK]

Good good. Going to be ordering one tomorrow.

Just ordered and paid for my standard d3 tail tidy. Cannot wait to get it installed when it arrives

i fitted an R&G tail tidy, on a 2010, all very simple. I did need to cut wires, but no great drama. I did pay a visit to Maplins, tho, they sell a black heat shrink insulation which really does tidy things up

 

[DJUK]

Got a question again. Going to put my private plate on the bike I think, it's 6 characters long, now I've read that I can have a 7 x 6.5 plate with no boarder. Just wondering if there was a certain size you can't have with the D3 standard before I purchase a plate. Like is there a plate too small that won't fit on the tail tidy?
