Thanks for doing these videos! I, too, have a ‘23 V4S. If you continue making videos (and I think you should), it might be worth getting a wireless mic so we can hear you better and it will eliminate the noises when the camera is turned on the tripod. Props also to your camera lady for doing her best to keep the camera on the action.

Cheers mate, and thanks for watching. The audio is a bit challenging, due to using a GoPro 4, which is why some of the videos are getting voice overs. If the channel grows, I’ll be upgrading the camera and definitely getting a mic. Do you have any requests or questions? I try to make the videos pretty in-depth, but KZfaq only allows 15mins videos. I’ll pass your complement along. Thanks again!!

I didn’t bother about getting a replacement bracket under warranty. The part can be purchased as a seperate item and the replacement cost for wasn’t excessive. Next time you start your bike just touch the very end of the bracket to feel for excessive vibration they may have changed manufacturer or type of metal since my purchase.

When did you purchase it? Mine still vibrates extensively. At one point I thought it was completely loose due to the amount of vibration. When I went to tighten it it was solidly secure. The vibration from the bike made it vibrate like crazy. You’re using the bracket that is more against the underside of the bike or the one that hangs at 90 degrees? Cheers

My original purchase would be around 1 yr ago, the new replacement was just recently and looks and weighs (heavy) the same as the previous one that snapped. Mine is the 90 deg version but I don’t think that would affect the eventual outcome.

Gotcha. I ordered both brackets and am using the one that lays more along the underside. It does vibrate substantially, so I may take have to trim some weight.

Correct

I have a 23 V4S and this tail tidy, I recommend reducing the weight of the plate holder, after 5k mileage the vibration of the bike caused the plate bracket metal to fatigue and break off at the point where the bend of the mount is. I lost my tag due to this when riding as I didn’t hear it fall off. I’ve since ordered a newreplacement bracket and have cut off the excess weight to reduce the amount of vibration. I just have the top two bolts attaching the rego plate which is sufficient and it no longer vibrates.

Thanks mate. That’s really good info. Did the company make you buy a new one or did they help you out? I’ve never heard of a license plate bracket braking under any circumstances, so I would find it plausible to be covered by the company. How was their customer service? Thanks for watching.

I have this tail tidy with the 90 degree frame on my 2024 Panigale V4S. Frame failed from metal fatigue at the 90 degree bend at 2800 miles. Plate snapped off, didn't hear/notice and it's lost so replacing tags, police report etc. Vendor offered to sell replacement frame but not as warranty. Ordered it but reading this comment thread and several same issue with this tidy I'm concerned and wondering if it's worth switching to something else.

@derekp9155 so you're saying to cut away the part of the plate frame below the two upper corner plate holes, correct? If I'm understanding correctly that would leave the 90 degree tab/flange and a narrow top strip of metal with the two corner holes. I like that idea. The plate weight is minimal and losing the bottom 80% or so of the frame not only lessens weight but decreases the lever arm for the torque on the 90 degree connector.

Hey curious! What lift do you have for your back tire? I need a good one!

@@Velion83 It’s the Pitbull single pin. You can position it with the bar facing forward, out of being a trip hazard, or you can insert it through the other side of the wheel and grease your chain without it being in the way. I’ve had a number of the Ducati rear wheel stands, but this one is nice due to being able to lessen the possibility of a tripping hazard when the bike is left on it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Twinkle twinkle.
