Xitomer Tail Tidy / Fender Eliminator / License Plate Holder Fit for BMW S1000RR 09-18 / S1000R 14-19, with LED License Plate Light, Compatible with OEM / Stock Blinker & Aftermarket Turn Signal

Perfect fitment, tale looks neat after install

I'd buy it again, it fits but doesn't install easily. Took about 2 hours with power tools.

Worked as described. Very inexpensive compared to others.

works fine

This is not a plug and play Tail tidy, it requires you to cut your wiring harness to your turn signals and license plate light. It requires you to notch the metal to allow the harness to fit back under the seat and it requires you to cut the rubber spacers that hold the old fender on to reuse. With that being said It is 1/4 the price of other tail tidys and for that reason it get 4/5. Now let me get into the install. Using your TORX wrench remove the 3 bolts holding the old fender on. You will see the harness going under the seat, unplug that and take the fender with the harness attached to your workbench. From the old fender you need to remove the turn signals, slice the shrink wrap off the harness to reveal the wires and cut them with enough length to attach later. Cut the LED license plate wire as well. Unbolt the turn signals, spin them and pull them out along with the wiring harness. Remove (I cut them) the rubber spacer that two of the bolts went through to hold the old fender one, were going to reuse these so i sliced parallel to the fender to preserve as much material as possible. Install the turn signals onto the Tail Tidy, I used the existing BMW hardware. Install the LED license plate holder onto the tail tidy using their provided hardware. now...splice the harness and the turn signals back together (Blue-White to Blue-White, Blue-White-Red to Blue-White-Red etc) Wrap them, crimp them , solder them...whatever your preferred way is. This is the most difficult part. To allow space for the harness to go through into the body work you need to add a hole and notch it as shown in pic 3. You could also simply drill a big enough hole and get rid of all the burrs. This is a design defect and shows you get what you pay for but if your handy you can take care of it. Plug the harness back together and pull it up under the rear seat to eliminate as much slack as possible. This is also a good time to flip the key on and check your wiring is correct. add 1/2 the rubber spacer to the mounting hardware on the bike. Put the tailtidy onto the existing mounting hardware on the tail, then the other half of the spacer and finally the BMW Bolt and thread it. Torque it. Note that this tail tidy only uses 2/3 of the existing mounting points and one is just hanging there. I replaced the existing bolt into the point but its not holding anything in. Thats it, you are done. If that was too much or sounds too intimidating then I would buy one of the better known name brand ones which will have better design and actual install instructions. That comes with the cost of 3-4x as much so I am very pleased with what I recieved.
