That thing looks designed to be removed lol.
I think that's kinda the purpose, only for passing regulations 😅😂
just like the R1000R's exhaust
they put every thing even the catlyst inside
so when we put on a straight pipe slip on, it become a straight pipe
suzuki really knows what we really need
I think we’re getting it all wrong and should be going bigger on those tail pieces, like a civic with a giant wing!
I like the tucked plate look but the cops in my town would have a field day with it.
i feel very lucky to live in a place where the cops dont get too up tight about those sorts of things. we all have riden tucked, if not just no plated bikes for a long time with no issues. you might be pulled over, and if you have the registration, insurance, proper license, are riding in protective gear etc. they let it slide 99 percent of the time. if you are riding dirty, then just dont put a plate at all, its a no chase state lol.
Yeah, absolutely no way that thing is DOT compliant. It's an excuse for the cops to pull you over whenever they feel like it.
@@John_Ridley its Not as tucked as you think, when looking head on at the back of the bike the plate is clearly visible, just insalled mine two days ago.
I just did the TST rear light kit , fender elmiminator, and relay and it looks better IMO. I cannot wait for the tst integrated kit to come out.
It is better with the fender and stock exhaust. Ride on a muddy road with the tail tidy, and the plate will be covered. The turn signals aren't spread wide enough. Waste of money.
Might look better, but then you get small sand pebbles and other dirt up on the seat and on the back of your jacket. Especially if you're caught in some rain.
TST Industries' tail tidy crushes the NRC one, both in quality and price. TST's *integrated* taillight (due out any day) looks about 10x better than this one, and costs less!! No brainer...
I just received an email from TST about the LED integrated Tail Light. "Hi there! We do not have an ETA at this time but we hope to release this within the next two months pending on delays."
Integrated tail lights are some of the worst things ever for sport bikes. Stock lights are hard enough to see already on bikes, but let's make it even harder to see.
My favorite UA-camr. I hope you see this. We are about the same age and I just got into bikes. Watching your videos brings me educational joy.
To be honest, I don’t really understand everybody’s desire to make the rear end of their motorcycle look like a wasps butt. I like most of the “mud extensions” way better than the tail tidies. Just a matter of taste, I suppose.🤷♂️
The companies that make tail tidys and not legal for the street exhaust systems love them.
I enjoy the larger lights!! People already act like they don’t see them, smaller would worry me more.
@@Tactica1_Tanker I agree. I have a cbr650r - pretty great “all around” street bike - it has what I refer to as a “dragon tail” look to it. For me it looks way better out over the back tire like that than the “stubby” back of the bike. (I will admit it’s a little better looking design than the gsx 8R) Again, I know it’s just a matter of personal preference 🤷♂️.
When I test rode one I couldn’t help but feel like if I ever got one I’d be fitting a tail tidy immediately 😂
If you look at the older bikes from the 80s, they had full tail sections that look proportionate to the bike, modern bikes got rid of the tail section to save weight, put plastic has very little weight, modern sports bikes till sections look like they're missing something.
Love the lines of this bike without that anchor on the back. lol
Looks better than stock
couldnt be a more fitting video at the moment for me, was just about to look for a fender eliminator kit for my 8r. you got a link for this particular one by chance/. thanks yammie
im sure its on new rage cycle's website. they got the best eliminators imo
DO NOT BUY NRC. They're garbage compared to TST... NRC charges more, and the quality of their parts is a light-year behind TST.
Hi Mr. Yammi Noob. Is it true the Hiayabusa is living with the Bearded Mechanic LoL. I’ve been watching him rebuild that Suzuki beast. 😂
I ........(Please don't kill me ) Actually liked the OG a bit more ... I think the lights are a bit more visible that way so is the plate ... But this mod doesn't look bad is just that I like the factory one more
In the UK, me at least, I'd never hide the plate like that, it's an instant pull reason and probably 3points on ya licence
I personally don't like either myself 😂
this is genuinely upsetting ... that fender needs its own fender its so big
Agreed, and a lot of these bikes are just coming with a rear tire hugger instead of a fender nowadays. Apparently no one rides in the rain anymore.
I agree. I like the increased length of the bike. Makes it look bigger and more impressive.
Yam i think you should give the gsxr 750 a go one of these days. Ton of content potential for you there. God bless
Beautiful ❤
Yam, I wholeheartedly agree that the tail sections on new bikes are hideous, and scream to be ripped off. I did a tail tidy on my new Z H2 within a couple of weeks tops. However, not trying to be a smart ass here, but the tucked license plate is a just plain bad idea. I've been a cop, pretty close to you, for 38 years. The fender eliminators that tuck the license plate up like the one you installed are illegal, at least in Texas (and probably most states) because the tag isn't readable from the proper distance. Shoot, many I've seen weren't readable unless you lay down on the ground to look up at it. In quite a few cases we can't even see the tag at all, I promise that's going to get you pulled over. Lots of guys use that style so they can run and we can't get their tag, but if the reason you're being pulled over because we can't see your tag you just turned a warning into a felony and your bike is probably gonna get seized. Also, we all know how easy it is to get your bike stolen, most of us have either had a bike stolen or know someone who's had a bike stolen. If a cop can't see the tag on your stolen bike he doesn't know it's stolen, and may just keep going to the call he's on for the little old lady who's watching space aliens jump up & down on the roof of her car again (I'm not kidding, I had a woman who used to call that in at least once a week) instead of trying to get your bike back for you. Get a design that allows your tag to be legally visible, that way when you do get pulled over for possibly fudging the speed limit a bit you stand a better chance of getting a warning.
Also, don't ride like a total squid (not talking about you specifically, just readers in general). People seem to have an undue dislike for motorcyclists, and some cops seem to have it a bit worse. Riding like an idiot makes us all look bad, and decreases everyone's chances of getting a warning instead of a ticket. Also, if you've never seen the aftermath of someone hitting a car at 160 when the car pulled out in front of them, I promise it's not something you ever want to see. I worked a crash tonight on a state highway, a car doing 65 hit a hog, we know how many of those are around here. My first thought looking at the totaled car was "thank God that wasn't a bike".
Fairweather only mod.
got same issue with my cbr650r tail fendure its really horrible, its for sure my first mod that i will get
I’m curious to see the MPG’s after you do the full exhaust
I’ve been looking at a new gsx-8s. I love the look and colors they have for em. Plus I’m more into naked bikes honestly, they just look better in my opinion
am i the only .one that likes the stock look. never been a fan of tail tidy mods
Can that stock tail lights stick out any further out??? they should make it stick out another 3feet more.. so you have a cushion when you get rear ended... lol
@yammie.noob, did you need to do the led relay?
Modern bikes are too forward heavy looking, they look like they've braked so hard, that everything got shunted to the front of the bike.
I'm keeping the tail piece on my ninja, it just balances the front/rear ratios up.
If only I didn't live on a muddy dirt road.
I’ve heard you say this isn’t a good beginner bike, but what about a riders first sport styled bike, familiar with motorcycle controls , but coming off of dirt biking since I was around 12 years old, 28 now looking to get my first true street bike buy. I’ve ridden a few over the years here and there not on any commutes or trips but around the neighborhoods or down the street since a lot of my friends had bikes, so I’m not totally brand new but just gonna be new to daily riding and prefer this bike for its mid weight power with a more relaxed ergo than other super sport styled bikes
This new light module, and plate holder do not pass MOT at any European country. Sideturns are too close together. Numberplate holder after you flip in normal angle, it will hit your tyre...
The tyranical degree of control imposed by those governments is disturbing beyond belief.
That mod would never fly in Europe. Mandated inspections would require that process to be done twice every time you'd take the bike.for the inspection. Not worth the hassle.

@Yammienoob and other bike riders out there, i have a question. I think here in the Netherlands its not as easy to get your motorcycle license as it is in for example America.
Here in the Netherlands you have to take about 15 - 20 lessons (this is on the street and highway as well), you need to take an exam in special manouveres and take a final exam showing that you can really ride a bike and find your way through trafic. You also need to take a theorie exam showing you know the trafic rules.
Also you can take the above exams for a A class bike. That is 35 kw and above.
Seeing you have to get all the above and the amount of lessons you have to take, can i start on a bit of a more heavy bike like a GSX8R ( I know not really heavy in the eyes of most people).
@Yammienoob, would love to get your opinion on this!
All the help is welcome!
Thank you and drive save!
You will need a new relay. I have this bike and fender eliminator and it does not work properly without nrc’s relay for it.
Larnell sent it to me personally
Bro,plz react on the new ultraviolette f77 ,need a review😊
I like the original better tbh. And that mod is illegal in my country (the Netherlands)
👍 none of them do from the factory
Great choice. Thank god. One of the worst & heaviest standard tail pieces ever. Akra full system is by far the best exhaust imo.
Papa Noobs, I can't believe you didn't link to where we can buy these mods online! There must be some profit to be made there.
Well, I think, the stock is kinda weird. But cut off this tail at all doesn't look cool. Leave it just a bit, don't know... Now it looks like an amputee tail. Kind of keeping proportions. If you know what I mean 🙂Now the bike is like going forward to fall. Impression.
Seeing how filthy the OG was, you can kinda appreciate its purpose. Nonetheless it still has to go lol
While agreeing 100% on the looks, a fender eliminator will render yr bike useless in the rain unless you ride 2 up. Ask me how I know 😂
You can't see the license plate.
I disagree. I like the length added by the tail fender. Long >> Short. It makes the bike look more impressive. I'm not going to bother with a tail tidy.
I don’t think you have to remove every single fender on every single bike lol. I think you are probably more hipster leaving it now a days. And I know you are very indie chill
The kit seems to have the tail lights aimed up to the rear seat rather than pointing back into traffic .. where it should be
Could be different in person, but that's the way it looks on camera
I strongly dislike tail tidy kits cause uou expose otherwise hidden wiring plus in many states there is a reason why they are on there.
Idk why I read it as tail tiddy. I need therapy
You are not alone🥲
The major purpose of a tail tidy is to hide the license plate while being juuuust plausible enough to the cops.
No?
@@teej1987tf you tryna say soy boy
Didn't think it was possible, but it looks worse.
😂
This bike desperately needs a fender eliminator, but this one is not it. Put the tail light up behind the seat. Drop the plate down from that point also so it is perpendicular to the ground, legal, and doesn't hit your tire. The cops in MN would have a field day with this thing.
Not for nothing, but you left out the most crucial part of the tutorial (removing the stock fender) isn’t the point of an instructional video.
Not my type of tail tidy
That's not legal😂
You just made the bike look dumb and childish and not to mention illegal. You should have done a full wrap around fender instead.
It's not illegal lol. Why are you so angry? Go touch grass
Shocker: an out-of-touch take from someone with a *TRASH* truck ... as their profile pic?! Like, THAT'S your profile pic? That POS?! Ahahaha
Anyway, if you get any bike that's remotely sporty you must take the OEM fender off, it's a rule. The manufacturer literally expects everyone to, those fenders are just there due to requirements from antiquated laws.
illegal in europe for example
I can enter for free why would I buy anything?
Because you're legally required to provide a way for people to enter sweepstakes for free.
every bike's looks better without the stock rear plates
I really dislike the short back of the bike, makes the bike look even uglier.
