I received my Mustard tail tidy today. Took 9 days to arrive in the UK. If you have any doubts about Mustard products dismiss them. I got an excellent quality, well designed product, very friendly and polite service. The little hand written note on the box was just another nice gesture. 10 out of 10 for Mustard. Thanks Mark.

@MustardBikes 2 жыл бұрын

@@leahall we still export to the UK, but due to the current UK import laws we can only do so via eBay. UK now requires sellers to collect the import VAT, which is very difficult for smaller retailers due to the complexity of calculating, collecting, registering and paying the required taxes. In the case of eBay they are the "seller" so they facilitate the tax collection. Let us know what you are chasing via our website and we can send you a direct link to the relevant eBay item.

Thanks for the very clear instructions and good product. I installed the tidy today and it went smoothly. I can only advise that if you try to put the fairing back on, check if the grommet doesn’t have the rubber around it. That was the case for me and I didn’t get them back in. Until I discovered to remove the rubber ring from the grommet and put that back into the holes of the frame . After that it was click clack click done. The screws for the tidy where long enough to allow me to add the reflector back so i am happy with that.

Awesome product. KZfaq vid's make it well easy. And 'The Zed' looks even more pretty than she did before. Maybe you'll see your handiwork buzzing round Hobart! Just a quick note for anyone who - like me - has a Givi gear rack on the back of their Z-RS. The standard bolts are too short - before you pull it all apart. If you go with 4 x 35mm M8 bolts (30mm will work but it's . . . tight . . . if you can excuse the pun. Maybe add some locktite) and put the Tail Tidy in between the rack ( which hangs below) and the bike, it looks very speccie. You just need to be a little creative about the wiring.
