2023 Yoshimura CB650R / CBR650R Tail Tidy

[viotek]

Just got the new 2023 Yoshimura tail tidy today. Long story short, it's fantastic. A few minor issues I'll mention.

- Getting the whole assembly lined up and bolted together, is a bit of a pain, but nothing terrible.
- I'd suggest they supply larger washers for the back of the turn signals. I added some slightly larger ones, and they greatly reduce the wobble you get on the signals due to the rubber mounts.
- I might fab a small shroud idea for the top at the backside, to help hide the wires better, but that's more me being a perfectionist than anything.
- I would have like to have seen an OEM connector and appropriate length cable for the plate light. I cut the wires on the factory light at a point where it would be hidden inside the factory tail if someone ever wanted to put that monstrosity back on.

Other then that, the packaging was fantastic. Finish is flawless. Plate light is bright. No need to modify North American plate. Very pleased!

Looks super nice! Cleans up the under-tail real nicely

Im tempted to buy the carbon fiber one from 007plate.com. It's a fender eliminator and a plate flipper in one. Kinda pricy though

Surely this is illegal, even in the US?

Even in the UK I do not think there is any explicit law banning you from buying, owning or even installing a number plate "flipper" on a vehicle. It is only illegal to "use" it. The actual offence being not displaying or obscuring your number plate
