- New Rage Cycles are based in New York and turn out some pretty neat fender eliminator/tail tidies for a large number of bikes. This is their new kit for the Triumph Street Twin
I am about to purchase a 2019 Street Twin. I have to say that your channel has been extremely informative. Thank you for taking the time to do these.
No problem
Great review. Thanks for sharing the detail not covered in the instructions! Very helpful.
Mine is scheduled to arrive this Friday. Thank you so much for your videos. They are very informative and unbiased. I am now following this and modifying my street twin as per your recommendations.
Jann Eric dela Rosa Thanks! Much appreciated. I'm just here to try and offer ideas
They are excellent and have this installed on my Thruxton R. Super clean install and quite bright.
Tony, thank you for making these videos. I ordered this NRC fender eliminator, and followed your instructions to the dot. Worked out nicely!
Thanks for making these fantastic videos and much appreciated it. Looking forward to more videos from you.
+Natt Mintrasak Hi Natt, thanks for your kind words. I'm just an ordinary bloke in his garage, so if these are useful for people I've achieved my aim
I think this is my favorite kit that I've seen so far. I just got mine in the mail. Waiting on the other parts to come in before I install.
That's the nicest tail tidy I've seen for this bike
Just ordered mine... thanks for the videos
Moto Buck's no problem!
That was very helpful. Thank you for making this video
No problem at all!
This was so awesome. Thank you.
No problem
Hi Tony, just found your channel a few days ago and have been following your vids. I find them very interesting and informative. I love all the Triumph retro stuff and I’m bolting on different stuff to the 2016 (air cooled) scrambler. You have shown me some very trick products and I’m loving your Street twin, it’s looking very cool with the nice and understated things you’ve done. I’m hooked to your channel now mate so keep em coming.
Cheers👍🏻🏍
Thanks Mike, glad you like what I’m doing, I’ll be trying to expand the content as the channel develops
Thanks for making this. I'm waiting on one for the Street Cup. Great job!
+Kaprina Steward No problem! It'll look sweet with the rear seat pod
Ordered mine last night. How do you like it?
New Rage also sells a Duel-Load Equalizer to go with this for $20. It slows the flashing rate back to stock by adding back the load you've lost with the removal of the stock relay.
Hello, great informative vdos, nice shooting and helpful commentary. Man, u r bikes are so clean and u r doing a perfect nice, neat and clean job. Great work. Keep it up.
Cheers
Looks great!
Thank you so much for this video! It was super helpful! 🤙🏽🙌🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Mark. Just ordered myself one from the US. Excited!!
No problem Parthiv.....who's Mark? ;)
HAHAHA! Sorry, Tony! I've been pulling an all nighter. Excuse the fumbling
no worries, at least if it turns out to be a rubbish product i can blame Mark! go get some sleep Parthiv ;)
HAHAHAHAHA!
I'm pretty sure I am going to like it if it came from your channel. You're the go to guy for me when it comes to all this.
If you're curious as to how to mitigate hyperflash, you don't need to worry about buying a relay or whatever. Just hold the i button with the bike dead, and whilst holding that button turn on the ignition. On the LCD you'll be able to see 4 different modes. Cycle through the modes by pressing the i button, and hold the i button when on mode 2. The bike will cycle the fuel pump etc again and you won't have hyperflash.
It works whit the the turn signals but... when you select the warning signal it doesn't .
@@Mauroplcr Hm that's strange, it's probably fixable with a quick google search, I haven't looked into it.
The Cheshire Cat anyway for now I have fixed the dual equalizer :-)
Good how to and review! I'd be tempted to get some wiring loom tape and wrap those wires. I recently rerouted some wiring on my scrambler and got some from Amazon. RSM.
Thanks Ben, yes i would advocate that too. I didnt show this in the video just for the purpose of saving time
That looks a very cool mod
shakinsherlock66 yep
You have reviewed the jp vintage seats for street twin. They are a little shorter I believe. Do you think this kit can be adjusted to work correctly with a jp vintage seat?
Hello there again, I'm planning to winter store my street twin, and trying to learn how to remove the battery so i could keep it under room temperature. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
How is riding like this in the rain? Any spray coming up from the rear wheel?
Just picked up this kit. Phenomenal video, great instruction! If you have a moment, QQ: Picked up a seat from British Customs but there's too much of a gap between the LED and the seat. Any recommendations on a saddle that works well with this tail tidy? Thanks.
Thanks. The stock and bench seat from Triumph work well with it. Not sure if there is a little modification you could make to the fender eliminator?
Oh those shorts...stylish.
Thanks Mark! ;)
That's a nice tail tidy. I wonder how much spray you would get up underneath?
Hey Tony,
I noticed in your later videos you opted not to keep this tail tidy installed, I was curious why you chose not to do so.
I'm really enjoying your videos, keep up the great work.
Hi James, as you would probably guess to keep the content coming there are parts going on and off the bike all the time. So it does change frequently. Its a great piece of kit, but it does give the bike a bit more of a modern look, and I thought probably wouldn't work with the aesthetic I was going for in the long run. Thanks for your encouragement, keep watching!
Hi, very nice video! But i guess this doesn´t match with the Slammer seat from British Customs? What tail tidy would you recommend with the Slammer seat? Thank you
Marcus Winton Yes maybe not. I’d thoroughly recommend the Motone tail tidy. That with the slammmer seat was the last set up I had and it was awesome
Loving your content, mate. Quick question: are there any MOT issues with this mod?
Thanks, not as far as I know, but i never had the bike mot'd
Will this pass an MoT I’m the Uk with those indicators? I thought they had to be a certain distance between them? Looks great though, I’m assuming it would fit on the street cup too?
The MOT rules are a bit 'grey' on this. There is a minimum mandatory seperation of 180mm, so these would meet that requirement.....just. But the MOT guidance goes on to say "There is no requirement to measure the separation distance and they should only be rejected if the separation distance is obviously incorrect". So I guess it's down to how nice the MOT tester is?! Yes, they'll fit on a street Cup. I removed mine as although it was clean, I didn't like the look. Just a personal preference
Do You know if thei’r working on one for the bobber? Couldn’t find it on their site.
Hi Tony,
Is it possible to fit the fender back on with the tail light segment in place? I want to keep the fender (ditch the stock tail light and 3D print a billet to fill that indent) and have an LED array tucked up under the seat. It looks like it would be a tight fit.
Thanks,
-Nick
Hi Nicolas, not with this tail tidy unfortunately. The stock fender has recess mouldings so that it sits up under the frame rails. You could probably use it but with some very considerable modifications. In this case you may as well look for one of the flexible LED tail light strips that are available
Yep, that's pretty much what I figured. Thanks again for your help on this. I really appreciate the incredibly prompt reply.
Cheers,
-Nick
Just installed this kit along with front LED signals as well. Looks clean and super easy on the install but had to tweak a few things as video doesn’t show a couple of harder things but overall great video. Again, The hyper flash issue is still there as only my hazards are in sync but not turn signals. I’ve tried the type 2 settings and still having issues with hyper flash - any suggestions?
great video, I like your channel. do you know if it is allowed to use this in EU from the regulations?
Hi Vincent, I'm afraid I can't confirm the 'legality' of this part as there will be different legislation in each country.
Hi Tony!
Sorry for my English! Can you say me if this tail tidy will fit with the Jerez seat from Tamaryt?
Thank you so much!
Your English is good Jacob! I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but not having tried the two together, im not sure what the overlap between the seat base and light unit would look like?
Thank you so much, Tony. I'll keep thinking about it!
Thanks for the detailed video, any plans on installing their Rage 360 turn signals???
Hoshikoification not yet, but it might happen, they look pretty cool...
with the gaps at sides, does dust, mud, etc. get into the space between the seat and the metal plate?
A little bit, but not too bad
very nice informative step by step video, thanks! how does the lighting kit look in daylight? it just worries me that it may be just a little too subtle!
Hi Stuart, It looks fine in daylight. Maybe not as easy to spot as standard indicators, but I have had a friend follow me who says its pretty clear.
+Views from the Man Cave cool. I'll maybe put that on the things to do list for my t120. very nice series of videos by the way!
As usual, excellent video. By any chance do you have a side profile picture of the Street Twin with this fender eliminator kit? You can't really see this view in the video. Thanx.
rallypunx I think so, I'll take a look
Great video. I have had the NRC fitted on my Street Twin for a few years. I was told by my local garage yesterday that it wouldn't pass its next MOT due to the spacing of the indicators being less than 80mm. I'm not sure if this is total BS or not...!?
There is a minimum separation distance of 180mm, but it’s a bit of a grey area as the MOT manual states that “there is no requirement to measure the separation distance and they should only be rejected if the separation distance is obviously incorrect” so I guess it’s down to how nice the MOT tester is?!
Really helpful video.
Could you let me know if you used a EU or US number plate option on this video?
Thanks, this came with the US plate mount
Thanks for the awesome videos! Do you think this will work for the 2017 Street Scrambler?
Thanks, yes it should do, but worth checking with NRC
Is it at all possible to add a top box with a tail tidy (like this or similar)? I'm looking at the Givi Trekker Dolomiti Black 46lt. It requires the Givi rack for ST (SR6407) and the base plate (E251) but seems to be hiding the break light/indicators (and possibly even the number plate). Is there any way to fit a tail tidy with this topbox?
I don't think there is no
Hi Tony, love your videos! I don't know if you'd know but would the NRC fender eliminator fit with the Tamarit Jerez seat?
Thanks Sophie, it would certainly fit, but I'm not sure what it would look like as the Tamarit seat sits above the frame rails with no overlap. I don't think ive seen anyone do that yet, it could look awesome
Ok ,thanks for your opinion. I already have the seat which I love but now desperate to sort the back end out and really like this eliminator kit. I might have to go for it and see what happens lol.
Sophie Maycock Cool, lemme know. At least you know what the Motone tail tidy looks like with it
Would you recommend this or the analog motor goods tail tidy V2 for the Thruxton?
I have no experience of the Analog Motors tail tidy, sorry
Do you get more dirt and water thrown up under the seat with just that plate for protection?
Les Laxson yes a little bit
min distance apart for MOT is 180mm for indicators, that'll be from the innermost edge of the indicator.
Hi John, thanks for this. I'm not suggesting this is wrong, but can you confirm where this measurement comes from as i cannot see any rule about distances in the MOT testers manual?
Yep here ya go mate, www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/366046/msva-manual.pdf
Thanks John, useful link, but this the the standards for a MSVA test as opposed to a standard annual MOT test?
page 6a3/1 I personally wouldn't worry about it as the light looks really good and pretty much stock, plus when was the last time you saw the old bill or an MOT tester get a tape measure out! ;)
Exactly John, also anybody with a street twin doesn't have to worry about an MOT for at least 2.5 years. Thanks for the link though
Very good video, loving the channel as you know...
Tell me, why does the bike you're showing stuff on, not have the blacked head light and speedo like in previous videos?
Do you have two bike?
Is it lent?
Did you paint it back to silver?
Hi, Thanks. Not sure what you mean? This is the same bike and still has the blacked out headlight and speedo....
My mistake
No worries
Does it look fine with a flat bench seat. I fear the bench would be to short. Any experience ?
steve savage Unfortunately I didn't have a bench seat to hand at the time. They are a slightly different profile
Great ! Who do you think is the best looks tail tidy nrc or motone ?
I think the Motone one looks better, but its all down to personal choice.
Hi, sorry - watching this a couple years down the line. But did you need to install a smaller licence plate than stock? The plate fitting looks small? Cheers
No you can get away with a stick plate, I already had the smaller one on the bike
Hi do you think the NRC tail tidy will work with the Down and Out Short Seat and rack kit?
From memory, no I don't think it will, not easily anyway due to the way the D&O seat is bolted to the bike
@@mancavemoto thanks for replying appreciate. Love your vids keep it up
Hello! Love the tail tidy. I'm about to order one. I'm also looking for Rear Spool Sliders but can't find any for a Street Twin model!! Can anyone help me lolol
i also am having trouble getting the bar end fillers out. I'm trying to install Motogadget bar end turn signals but couldn't get the stuff out of the ends of my bars. It's a '22 Street Twin.
Do you think this will work on a 2019 speed twin 1200?
13:10 - Try soldering a 1KΩ resistor on each channel (left and right indicators). This should solve the fast blinking problem.
If doesn't blink fast when the bike is actually running, I'd see no need to dink with resistors. Personally, I've never had much use for my turn signals with the engine off!
Anyone know if this would fit on a 2017 Triumph Street Scrambler?
hi great video, I've been looking for this exact thing for my scrambler but I'm not sure if it's legal in the UK as I've heard the indicators have to be a certain distance away from the brake light. please could you clarify as I'd loooove this on my bike. cheers
Hi Ricky, Thanks. I don't really want to get involved with the legality of parts fitted in these reviews, as you can imagine thats a bit of a 'tangled web' however looking at the MOT testers manual, I can directly quote the following....The precise position and angle of visibility of direction indicators
are not part of this inspection, but they must be on each side of
the longitudinal axis of a solo machine.Check out this link for more info www.motuk.co.uk/mcmanual_150.htm
+Views from the Man Cave that's great thanks
I installed this fender eliminator but my blinkers are still faster than stock with the bike running. Hazards are normal. Any advice on how to correct this or do i just need to buy the dual load equalizer from NRC?
Not sure if you've already solved this issue, but as part of the ECU you can set it to mode 2 or B (can't remember the nomenclature) and that fixes the hyler flash.
To do this, hold the i button when the bike is off, turn the ignition to on and you should see on the LCD the different modes. Cycle through them pressing the i button, and hold that button when on mode 2/B.
The Cheshire Cat Thank you! That worked beautifully. Cheers.
U think the gap from the tail tidy could potentially cause any problem? Thanks alot
Possibly in very wet conditions
@@mancavemoto thanks! I m probably gonna duct tape the bottom.
do you think this will fit the triumph speed twin 900 2023?
Hey tony. Just added the nrc fender eliminator for my 2018 triumph street twin. Everything according to how you said but heres the issue. The indicators work but the brake light doesnt. I connected the stock after that and the brake light wont work on that either now. Just the indicators. Any suggestions?
Oh and the led license plate light doesnt work either.
Danish Mumtaz something’s not right, have you checked the fuses to make sure none have blown?
How were you able to remove the tail light plug? There are 3 side where you have to push down so that you can actually remove it but I haven't been able to do it. Was there a trick you used?
Do you mean the main connector for the rear loom? if so there is one 'tab' on the side that you can depress and they pull apart. I'll try and get a picture to show
If the poster is anything like me, I think they mean actually disconnecting the connector that you plug the NRC connector into. Your video skips past it
@@JonnoDoesStuff I just got this kit and I am having the same issue… was there an answer to this?
@@NarutoMorrell Hi. This is a while ago but there's a plastic tab that you have push to release the connector if I remember correctly. Go easy on it
Hello, will this set fit on the street cup? Thanksn
Yep should be no problem
Got a question...2018 Street twin and I bought those rear shock lights from British Customs and rear fender eliminator kit. Rode a bit Na snow my engine light is popping on and off. Shows a code of 1576. Looks like it has to do something with the LED tail or turn signals. Anyone have those issues? Remedies? I’d hate to put the stick tail back on.
Thanks
There can be an issue with some after market lights. The stock ones send a signal back to the ECU if they fail and it throws up the warning light. The remedy it to fit a resistor inline on the aftermarket ones to stop this. Contact BC who should be able to sort it for you
Ok perfect! Thank you sir
Thank you for the great useful videos.
I´m thinking about ordering one of these kits. Can you please tell me if any extra fees relating customs were paid upon arrivel of the kit to the UK? I´ll be ordering from Portugal, and will have to consider the price if any custom fees are added to the kit.
P.S: Would love to see this kit being used with the brat track flat seat mounted on the Street Twin.
Thanks again for the videos man.
Ricardo Silva Hi Ricardo, I did have to pay some tax, but not a lot (about 5% from memory?)Unfortunately I can't help with any info on the situation for Portugal. Thanks for your comments, glad you like the videos!
Ok. Thank you for the answer and for the great videos.
Really appreciate them.
Might be a stupid question, but does this also go on the Street Cup?
Yes it does.
Surely it's obvious to have all the nuts on top as appose to down where they are open to the elements and also easier to do the nuts up from above.
I replaced the bolts in the stock positions as per the OEM fitting and the bolts from the kit from underneath
I installed this with the optional dual load equalizer to mitigate the indicator hyper flash but now my ABS light blinks while the bike is on. It stops after I start riding but it is still irritating. Has anyone else had this issue?
No sorry, but speak to NRC they are pretty helpful
Any Idea why the XSR900 Version has no running light function ????
Not a clue!
Been in touch with Justin at N.R.C. Looks like I got one with a duff Diode.. He is sending me a new unit.. Very happy with their customer service...
Good to hear, he seems like a decent guy
"the video is now probably gonne go bllrbbblulubrrrlllblblup" xD !
Im assuming the kit comes with instructions?
There are instructions available on the website.
Does this work with triumph bench seat?
I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, but hopefully I will soon
Views from the Man Cave thanks!
Same question from me...have you had a chance to test with the bench seat? I want to purchase both but want to ensure there are no issues with the bench seat vs. stock.
hi sir may i know where can i purchase this? any websites?
New Rage Cycles should have a list of stockists on their site
@@mancavemoto thank you
Does the kit work for street scrambler??
Yes it should do, the rear frame is tha same
Views from the Man Cave could you confirm with them for us? I have a 2018 this will be amazing
Have a look on their site, all the info should be there
would this fit a 2020
It should do, nothing was changed in terms of the frame or seat components
Dude will this fit for street scrambler
In theory yes as the frame and mounts are the same. Probably worth checking with NRC though
@@mancavemoto Can you share the link
@@amar95260 www.newragecycles.com
Hi , where can i buy it ? I am from Germany.
I ordered mine directly from NRC in the US
Is this UK legal?
It is, as far as I can tell from looking at MOT regulations
Thanks. I was looking at something similiar for my Street Triple but was told it wasn't UK legal. I've maybe been misinformed.
Oh OK, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be legal?
It's the integration element. I think there's meant to be a gap between the rear position / brake light and indicators.
Hi Colin, I’ve heard that mentioned before, but there is nothing at all about spacing in the MOT test regulations;
“Statutory indicators
The precise position and angle of visibility of direction indicators are not part of this inspection, but they must be on each side of the longitudinal axis of a solo machine.
no one shows how to disconnect the harness.
There’s a small lug that you press in (you can see it in the video) then pull the connector apart. That’s it, very simple
very nice but european license plates don't fit on that -.-'!
They should do, aren't they 210mm by 130mm? The plate I fitted to this was 180mm by 130mm, and USA motorcycle plates are 180mm by 100mm. So I thought i'd check the New Rage site and found this "Our license plate bracket is constructed from aluminum, black powder coated, and tucks up underneath your Street Twin, providing a very clean finish, as well as giving you extremely bright LED signals! Accomodates both US and EU license plates"
@@mancavemoto dear Man cave in italy we have got square plates 180x180 , in germany 220x200 mm!
