No. I'll be putting an R6 front end on this in the next few months so gaitors will be a waste of time. Appreciate your support brother. More vids to come. Ride safe.
I put on a new tire hugger to reduce the spray underside. I have a video for that install as well. Never had issues with water in the battery compartment either. Ride safe.
No because the XSR doesn’t have a rear running lights. I have another video where I show how to preserve the front running lights though with new front turn signals. Check out the list of my videos for that. It will show you what part to get for running lights, and it will even work if you want to add rear running lights to your bike. Thanks for watching brother. Good luck with your mods. Ride safe.
Hey StreetRodzAz, thanks for the simple instructions. But could you include what other electrical parts you needed and how you put it together. You went from looking for a washer to attach the other indictor to jumping 90% of the wiring done. Thanks
Sure thing. So in addition to the BL6 turn signals, you’re going to need these tstindustries.com/tst-yamaha-signal-plug-converters-3-to-3.html That way you won’t have to do any cutting of the factory wires
The only tricky one is going to be the license plate light. That one you may have to harvest apart or two off of your old fender and solder it to the tail tidy license plate light
Great video! Do the stock indicators work with this tail tidy or should I just purchase new leds? I have the same tail tidy but am yet to attempt the installation. What else will I need?
Hey, thanks for the vid it helped a lot I have a 2018 xsr700 and bought the exact same set up as you but what did you do for the license plate light wires? I just ordered the signal wire extenders from TST today but I can’t seem to find anything for license plate light
Daniel. I harvested the end of the stock plate light harness, then soldered and shrink wrapped it to the new light. Fairly easy to do and came out great.
StreetRodAZ thanks for the quick reply! I haven’t soldered anything in 5 years but I’ll give it a shot. Do you plan on buying a windscreen anytime soon for the XSR? I drove mine across Florida yesterday and it wasn’t the best of experiences after a while lol
Thanks for the video. I bought the same tail tidy kit and used your video for the installation. I’m going to harvest the oem license plate wire. My question is did you connect black with black and yellow with blue? I did this and it blew the 10 amp fuse.
@@StreetRodAZ hm.. Kind of..but by washing for example, there s still a risk, that water could come in the area of the battery etc. Did you let it like that or did you change something about it?
Nope. But my other bike has inverted forks so I do notice some difference but not vibration. Inverted forks just rebound better. Which is also why I will be swapping out the stock front end for an R6 front end in a couple months.
Hello mate, I tried and now my signal aren't working, i guess, it might ne a short circuit ? It was working at first but when i was abt to a final touch, there was a small spart noice and the signals stopped working both front and back? Help please
@@StreetRodAZ thank you I havent changed the front signal yet, i have left all wires unplugged at this stage. Before while disconnecting the tail wire, the front signals were working, now front signals stopped working too? Fuse look good. Would you think its a relay issue. What will be a solution please
I think the problem is is you don’t have the positive and negative wires hooked up correctly on the lights. Remember this is DC current. Polarity counts
Hey StreetRodAz! I really enjoy videos so thank you for making them!! I recently added the radiator grill and changing all the lights is next on my list. Is the adapter for the license plate light the same as for the blinkers?
it does a fine job. never had an issue. but you can watch my other video where i upgrade my rear tire hugger. now i barely get dirt and water under the rear fender at all.
@@StreetRodAZ It sure has. I just ordered the parts to do this mod, and sure enough, the amazon page references your video. 5th image, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YWVJXLR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great video and channel btw! Looks to me like the only way to get the license plate light is to as you said splice and solder that wire. The only adapters I can find are Europe based that come out to over $100 US with shipping. Gonna give the solder a shot!
I found the same kit on AliExpress. I just used your video to install it. Thanks for the help!
awesome
Same just ordered it lmao. I love AliExpress.
I love tail tidies, i haven't done one on my GSX S 1000 yet but I am considering it. Looks awesome Mate, well done.
Thanks 👍
Great bike. Great vid!. She’s my goal in life. Imma get me one of those no matter what!!
Thx Gerardo. Appreciate the props. Check out some of the other mod videos I have. You may find them helpful and inspiring. cheers.
Thanks for the video I just did my 2023 XSR700
@@jvenh glad they were helpful. ride safe brother
did you not botrher about gaps for water penetration and easy access to the batery???
ciao amico mio,io lo montato come te,ma si è piegato e rotto dove ce luce targa,forse le vibrazioni,ho messo 2 piastre di rinforzo,
Are you going to be doing a fork gaitor and cover install? Jvb boots look the best but I can't find any install videos on it. Love the vids man
No. I'll be putting an R6 front end on this in the next few months so gaitors will be a waste of time. Appreciate your support brother. More vids to come. Ride safe.
Thanks for the video from FR
What did you use for underneath to hide the wires protect the underbody. I heard of people using a black plastic bucket and cutting it to shape
Shrink wrap and zip ties
Do you do anything with the hole where the cables go through? Just leave it or is there a mudguard available?
I put on a new tire hugger to reduce the spray underside. I have a video for that install as well. Never had issues with water in the battery compartment either. Ride safe.
Great video! Did you have to get the TST Turn Signal Running mate cable along with the Turn Signals?

Putting it together is pretty straightforward. Just follow the instructions on the BL6 indicators so you know which wires go together
The only tricky one is going to be the license plate light. That one you may have to harvest apart or two off of your old fender and solder it to the tail tidy license plate light
Thanks, your a star.
@@StreetRodAZ $75.99 shipping to Australia. Might buy local.
What size indicator bolt thread does the tail tidy take? 8mm or 10mm?
Indicator bolt? not sure what that is. Indicators are typically threaded on the shaft so you don't really need a bolt. Just a washer and a nut.
Great video! Do the stock indicators work with this tail tidy or should I just purchase new leds? I have the same tail tidy but am yet to attempt the installation. What else will I need?
I think they're supposed to but I didn't try. Giver it a go. Worst case scenario... you drop 20-40 on a new set
I've bought the same tail tidy, but I've got alot of spacers, like two short, two medium, two fatter. Where I need to place them?
Short spacers are used for the bolts towards the rear.Taller spacers are used for the front bolts. You don't need the others.
@@StreetRodAZ thank you :)
How long did you have to wait for shipping
9 years.
@@StreetRodAZ 😂😂 yea I’m good
@Owe Dee amazon is your best bet. takes a few days
Hey Rod awesome vid … did you installed a high flasher relay too? TIA
yep. you need one compatible with LEDs. I used this one… tstindustries.com/tst-led-flasher-relay-gen2.html
checkout my turn signal videos
more info on those
Thank you very much rod 👊

Hi, great video.
Did you manage to somehow cover the exposed cables in the fender? I'm afraid it could and draw us some water.
I wrapped everything in shrink tube so it's pretty water tight.
@@StreetRodAZ hm.. Kind of..but by washing for example, there s still a risk, that water could come in the area of the battery etc. Did you let it like that or did you change something about it?
@@sidodeatheye i've never had water run into the compartment under the seat after doing this.
Nice work. What rear wheel stand is that?

Do you notice any vibration on high speeds from the front of the bike? Seems like that is a common problem for XSR 700
Nope. But my other bike has inverted forks so I do notice some difference but not vibration. Inverted forks just rebound better. Which is also why I will be swapping out the stock front end for an R6 front end in a couple months.
StreetRodAZ i am considering getting the XSR 700 or a Triumph T120. I really can’t decide!
@@GOMD77 xsr for fun and play triumph for class,
Hello mate,
I tried and now my signal aren't working, i guess, it might ne a short circuit ? It was working at first but when i was abt to a final touch, there was a small spart noice and the signals stopped working both front and back?
Help please
sounds like you got wires crossed and blew a fuse. very simple fix. just replace the fuse.
Make sure there’s no exposed wire that’s grounding out
@@StreetRodAZ thank you
I havent changed the front signal yet, i have left all wires unplugged at this stage. Before while disconnecting the tail wire, the front signals were working, now front signals stopped working too? Fuse look good.
Would you think its a relay issue.
What will be a solution please

Hi Carlos. Actually, I ended up cutting the factory license plate wire off the old fender and soldered it to the license plate wires.
the tail tidy looks like it does not do a good job in preventing water dirt and mud getting into the electricals
it does a fine job. never had an issue. but you can watch my other video where i upgrade my rear tire hugger. now i barely get dirt and water under the rear fender at all.
Parabéns pelo vídeo toppp
Obrigado
Did you know that your video has been ripped for the instructions of this tail tidy now?
no way! really? got a link?
