To fit the R&G tail tidy, the original licence plate bracket must be removed.
Begin by removing the seat using the ignition key, then remove the 4x T40 bolts securing the rack
and pillion grab rails, as shown in picture 1.
Remove the plastic tail cover as shown in picture 2, then disconnect both original indicator
connections (wiring with the green and red bands) as shown in picture 3. Using a small screwdriver
to gently push on the connector securing tabs may help to disconnect them.
Remove the 4x T30 bolts securing the OEM license plate bracket as shown in picture 4, then gently
lower and remove the bracket by carefully sliding the indicator wiring through the rubber grommet.
Care must be taken not to force/bend the OEM indicator wiring, as fragile PCB’s are located within
the insulation.

If re-fitting the original indicators, remove the 2x T20 bolts securing the wiring cover on the OEM
bracket to expose the securing nuts as shown in pictures 5, 6 and 7. Now remove the nuts with a
13mm spanner and gently slide the indicator away.
Offer the original indicators up to the new R&G tail bracket (item 1) as shown in picture 8, pushing
the locating pins through the smaller hole and securing the original nuts with a 13mm spanner.

For correct operation of R&G mini indicators (R&G mini indicator product code RG371 for LED type,
or RG372 for Aero Style LED type), resistors to control the indicator flash rate must be fitted
(available separately, product code RGR0003).
To fit the resistors, first fit a wiring connector (item 8) to each of the indicator connections, then
mate the relevant bullet connectors to those on the resistors, as shown in picture 9. The resistor
female bullet connectors will mate to the new indicator male bullet connectors once the R&G
bracket is mounted.
Offer the mini indicators up to the new R&G tail bracket (item 1) as shown in picture 10, securing
to the bracket with the new flanged nut, using a 13mm spanner. The small holes used for locating
the OEM indicators can be blanked off using the included rubber bungs (item 5), as arrowed to in
picture 10.
To neaten the wiring, slide one indicator wiring cover (item 7) over the bullet connectors for each
indicator and slide up until the flanged nut is covered, as shown in picture 11. A small amount of
lubricant or soap may help when pushing the wires through the indicator wiring cover. A length of
heatshrink (item 6) can then be slid over the indicator wiring, heating with a heat gun or similar
until the wires are neatly wrapped.
