FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
OEM Tail Unit Removal:
•
Begin by removing the panel under the tail unit by removing the two bolts arrowed in
picture 1
using a 4mm allen key.
•
Carefully remove the 3 allen head bolts holding the OEM licence plate holder to the bike shown in
picture 2
using a 6mm allen key, ensuring to support the unit when removing these bolts to
prevent the unit dropping.
•
As you remove the licence plate holder from the tail unit, you will need to disconnect the wiring as
shown in
picture 3
using a small flat bladed screwdriver, the licence plate holder should now be
free from the bike.
•
On the underside of the OEM licence plate holder, remove the 4 torx screws shown in
picture 4
and split the indicator housing by removing the lower plastic piece and sliding the upper piece off
the rubber mounts in the metal tail piece shown in
Picture 5
, leaving the indicators loose.
•
Remove the rubber indicator connector holder and disconnect the 3 connectors using a small flat
bladed screwdriver as in
Picture 6
and remove both indicators completely.
•
Disconnect the OEM licence plate light as before and cut the cable ties that secure the tail piece
wiring loom to the metal bracket and remove from the bike as shown in
picture 7.
Put this to one
side for use later.
R&G Tail Tidy Assembly:
•
To assemble the tail tidy, the heat shield (item 2) should be attached to the main tail bracket
(item 1), referring to
Assembly diagram 1
on page 3.
•
Place the 4 x 30mm countersunk bolts (item 7) into the corresponding holes on the main tail
bracket (item 1) and slide one heat shield spacer (item 4) over each bolt.
•
Locate the heat shield (item 2) over the exposed threads ensuring that the larger section covers
the exhaust to the RHS of the bike.
•
On the rear of the heat shield place 4 x M5 washers (item 5) and sandwich the spacers using the
4 x locking nuts (item 8) to secure the heat shield as shown. Ensure that the locking nuts are fully
engaged with 1-2 threads protruding through the nuts.
•
Next, take one length of provided heat shrink (item 13) and place this over the wires of the R&G
number plate light (Item 10). Heat this with a heat gun or similar until the wires are neatly
wrapped.
•
The number plate light shroud provided with the assembly should be affixed to the light unit using
a small amount of superglue to hold in place, this is to correctly direct the light downwards to
prevent dazzling other road users.
•
Affix this to the main tail tidy bracket as shown in
Assembly diagram 2
on page 3 using the M4
washers and nuts provided with the assembly. Tighten the nuts using a 6mm socket
•
Attach the CON14 tail light connector (item 12) to the bullet connectors of the licence plate
illuminator.
If using OEM Indicators:
If you are re-using the OEM Ducati indicators these will need to be removed from the OEM licence
plate unit following the steps here, if using Mini indicators, skip this section.
