R&G tail tidy question

[kagey]

Hey Folks,

After installing the R&G tail tidy my 3 pairs of wires are sitting on top of the metal plate, below the exhaust. Should I just make sure that none of the wires will touch the exhaust metal or should I put in some sort of a heat shield? I'm not sure how hot it'll get under the exhaust.

Thanks

:welcome:to the forum! LOL! You joined last Oct and this is your first post!

As long as the wire can't touch the metal exhaust can you're probably fine.

I have had the R&G on mine for years and no problems with the wiring.

I think I just have a small zip tie holding them down to the tail tidy

Ok thank you, I hope to finish it up today. That plate light was a b*tch to get fastened. I ended up having to shave some plastic from the light body to get the bolts to poke through adequately.

That's what I did. No probs at all.

Your bike is looking great! It's funny how just some small changes can change the look of a bike.

Don't forget to get some stick/bolt-on reflectors somewhere. Most countries/states require it.

We don't have motorcycle inspections in NB, and I can't find any requirements for motorcycle reflectors. I'll keep the stick-on reflector that came with the kit under my seat JIC.

For those interested, I got some adhesive zip tie anchors from canadian tire and stuck them on top of the plate and tied everything down as suggested. Thanks.
