If you want to get your KTM 790/890 Adventure looking light, tight, and fast, you have to check out the Tail Tidy by Rottweiler Performance. They’re extremely well built, easy to install, and clean up the bulky rear end of your 790/890. The Tail Tidy kit eliminates the stock license plate holder and the stock turn signals. I really dig how the Tail Tidy eliminates the stock turn signals because I knew it was just a matter of time until I broke one.
The Tail Tidy Kit includes LED lights that provide great visibility during the day and night. The turn signals blink slightly faster than the stock signals but we think it helps a bit with visibility. Your stock tail light/brake light stays in place but there is an additional running light on the bottom of the license plate holder portion.
The installation of this kit is super simple and of course, Rottweiler has a step-by-step install video. It’s all plug and play – no rewiring required. Don’t forget to check out the install video here.
For ultimate functionality and light and tight factor, install the Rottweiler Performance Tail Tidy kit and the Perun Small Billet Rack. They work super well together and look badass! Note that the Large Perun Rack looks a little excessive with the Tail Tidy kit.
One unforeseen benefit that sounds ridiculously untrue is the fact that installing your license plate on the stock license plate bracket absolutely sucks! In the time you spend trying to get your license plate to sit correctly in the bracket, you could have this installed twice, maybe three times. That stock bracket is a total PITA and this will save you time and headache.
In addition to the Tail Tidy, we’ve installed a bunch of Rottweiler Performance gear on the 790 and 890 and will be posting about all of it. Be sure to head to our website and find the Motorcycle Tab for anything motorcycle-related.
