Xt660x tail tidy
 
Hi guys, I live in Sydney Australia and I am looking for a tail tidy for my XT660X, apparently I can't find any online. Any recommendations??

Cheers

I ride an R and use an ebay item. You have to mod it BUT they work and imho look good. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-MOTOR...0AAOSwP4FaQhV~ There's more expensive ,I know I bought one BUT they are exactly the same.Cheaper one's too.
Top Tip: use threadlock on the lIght/lense bolts and nuts.

tail tidy
 
I have now busted two of the large standard indicators on my XT660X by knocking them with either my leg or gatepost!! I am looking for a sleeker, streamlined total rear end solution. This suggestion looks ok, but do you have a picture of it completed, so that we can see how it should look. I can't imagine how it will fit, keeping the Number plate attached?!
What skill level could attempt such a refit? I am 1 small step up from novice!!

I fitted two of these and as long as you don't mind cutting the original off i'm sure you'll be fine.

Both ones fitted also had a smaller number plate and led indicators,again all off ebay.

The hardest part was cutting the tail tidy.. as its originally almost horizontal I cut a small V in the sides and bent it to the required angle of choice after Id warmed it up with a heat gun.
Easy enough. I filled the gap with a chemical metal filler BUT could have used two pack quick dry glue.
Once dry I sanded it smooth and sprayed it black.

Pictures on here somewhere. HTH.

That looks pretty good! I've bit the bullet and ordered one.
Thanks for the advice.

IF you bought the one I linked to remember your going to have to get front LED indicators and a flasher unit too... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycl...YAAOSwA3dYKH6t

I went ahead and did the mod. Pretty pleased with how it looks.
Thanks for the advice

Have you re-checked all the connections on your brake light circuit?..

I linked you to an ebay site that sell's the led relay..all four have to be led indicator's.
