Fender Eliminator

Yikes. Bit of a design fault the positioning of the exhaust. Although Husqvarna would say that we shouldn't put on tail tidies!

Yes, it seems the Remus is even a tad longer and higher than the stock exhaust.

And that’s why short exhausts is a good idea.

Its a design flaw. Of course the customer will change to a tail tidy as their first modification

Don't get the mizu tail tidy. My guess is they thought the KTM version would fit the same

Damn, that's quite a lot offset; that's strange; there are some more 801 with the Mizu and up to now nobody reported about a problem.

I'm curious what others have done with the exposed wires after installing the top block or mizu fender eliminator. Did you use heat shrink electrical tape or just leave it alone?

If I remember correctly, the connectors are sealed.
If it's just for a cleaner look, you could use some braided hoses.
I already used them on other bikes and they work fine.

I was pretty disappointed with the Mizu as it was still pretty long, so I cut it shorter and cleaned up the wires. I also had to use the original plate light. The Mizu was having connection issues. It doesn't look too bad.

I love how tidy made from 1290 looks. Wanted to say that for quite a while already.

Next 801 tail tidy; from De Nigro Racing / Italy.

I got this De Nigro Racing one, it's not that great. In any case, the original indicators end up in front of the exhaust, I had to get smaller ones and their brackets.

Do you also have a pic that not only shows the bike, but also (and more concrete) the tail tidy with the indicators?

Thanks! It doesn't look too bad; the angle of the registration plate seems to be quite flat; and how about the registration plate light?

I didn't install the license plate light, it ended up in front of the stop light

Is it in Italy "OK" without?
Otherwise maybe you could ad one of the super tiny "Highsider" SMD-registration plate lights / they are even e-marked.

If you hit a heavy undulation that rear tire is going to grab the reflector and yank it off. When I did my tail tidy I had the license plate too upright and the bottom of the plate got rolled under (and I'm in the US, our plates are a lot smaller than yours)

I've been driving like this for a month and unfortunately I've already hit several potholes, but no problems so far.

I knew you would have comments on my license plate holder....
