monkeyjim Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Did you sort out this problem ? What make tail tidy did you buy ? Just wondering as I am thinking about getting one myself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddog64 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The easy way around the problem is to drill new holes in the plate to lift it higher up and so away from the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Munsey Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 How big is your number plate ? lol. You may just need to put some new holes in it to bring it up the bracket a bit more. Or go and get a slightly smaller one made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiMBo1990 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 with mine i bent the bracket out because when my gf got on the back after drilling holes higher it touched wheel still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson13 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I had an XJ6S (half faired version but mechanically the same bike) for over a year. The XJ6 will handle realistically everything you throw at it, is not supersport but has a fair amount of get go, comfortable for the pillion, comfortable to ride, the underbody exhaust is fairly quiet but the plus is no damage if you drop it or fear from the pillion from burning. Quite a solid bike, suspension can be a little bland when pushing it hard-ish (not a racer here) but for the budget I think you get a lot of bike for the money. Direct competitors the Kawi ER6, different engine, similar power, more vibes than the XJ6. For commuting I think is an excellent bike, fairly narrow, easily flickable through traffic.

cam7777 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I fitted the Evotech 14,000 miles ago and no problems here, maybe a picture might help. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lespaul1959 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'll be picking mine up at the end of September (hopefully one I pass my test that is). Anyway, I'll need to put a screen on of some fashion and perhaps a few other bits. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyjim Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I know this was way back in september , can't believe I have not been on forum since then. In the end I fitted the Evotech tail tidy . Highly recommended , bit of dismantling of bike required to remove original parts but that will be required whatever tail tidy you buy . I work in the motor trade but I consider it a easy DIY job to fit the Evotech tail tidy. It was a reasonable price and good quality parts , looks good fitted .
