R&G tail tidy, chop the fender / mudguard
« on: September 04, 2018, 06:19:26 AM »

Being an urban rider I have to squeeze the bike into pretty tight spaces. On my first day, driving home from the dealer, I stopped at my mother's for a charge. While manoeuvring into the front garden the numberplate snapped off because it stuck out so far back. The law in the UK is that the numberplate has to be behind the rear axle. There is no need for it to be behind the rear wheel.

After watching the video on EMF I ordered the R&G tail tidy. It was easier to fit on a 2017 Zero S than in the video because the electric connectors for the numberplate light are distal to the demagnetiser and any cable ties so there is no splicing or cutting, the supplied wires plug straight in - except that my tired middleaged eyes confused the dark brown live with a black earth. R&G sent me a replacement free of charge which I had to rather sheepishly return once I realised my mistake.
