The reason for fitting a tail tidy is to shorten the length of the bike by repositioning all the rear components closer to the tail section. By doing so it brings these components closer to the exhaust silencer(s). Evotech Performance designs all EP Tail Tidies to avoid potential problems with heat emitted from the silencers. In the fourth instalment of our FAQs, we cover the legendary EP Tail Tidy – the product that led to the creation of Evotech Performance many years ago, and just one of the many quality EP motorcycle accessories that has since made Evotech Performance a leading accessory manufacturer.

On the left side, four elastic loops run horizontally across the bag and work great for cables, dongles, and other similarly slender items. One unfortunate note is that the second-generation Apple Pencil, which is 6.53 inches long, is just millimeters off from comfortably fitting in any of these narrow slots (we stored it vertically on the right side with no problem). Shorter pens and pencils, however, do fit well in those locations.There are occasions when we do have to supply an EP designed replacement undertray (thermoformed plastic) to ensure the supplied EP Tail Tidy fits with no additional modifications to the bike. An example of which would be the EP Tail Tidy for the BMW R nineT series of bikes. There is one simple reason for this time-consuming manufacturing process and that is to produce a tail tidy of such quality that it either matches the fit and function of the original system or, as in most cases, exceeds it by a significant margin.

An EP Tail Tidy retains the original number/i.d. plate, indicators and give provision for a rear reflector if required. Some EP Tail Tidies are supplied with replacement rear light units and indicators but these are quality EP-sourced units that are EC or E-mark compliant. As with all makes of tail tidy, being fitted, the reduction in size of the motorcycle’s original homologation specification is not illegal. There are cases where construction rules and regulations may deviate with fitment of a tail tidy but this is not reason for a failure mark at MoT time. This Tech Tidy is also a brilliant product to promote as an eco-friendly advertisement at all your marketing campaigns and company corporate events.

The modular design features a bottom storage compartment with two sliding dividers, a lid with loops for smartwatch bands, and an upper lidded storage compartment.

You can then print your company logo to the front in a spot colour to promote your company and advertise your brand, guaranteed to attract lots of attention and have your logo in clear view for everyone to see. When shopping around for a tech organizer, the first thing to consider is the size. Think about what you want to put inside, whether you plan to add more later, and if the overall capacity is large enough to accommodate your needs.

Unlike some of our competitors, Evotech Performance designs and fabricates its EP Tail Tidies for individual models of motorcycles via a combination of 3D scanning and CAD illustration. This way we can produce a tail tidy from aerospace grade aluminium alloys involving the use of the latest fabrication and engineering technology such as CAM software running high-tech 5-axis machining centres. Some EU countries are rigidly policed when it comes to angle of fit of the number/i.d. plate. Are EP tail tidies compliant for my home country?

When it comes down to it, there are plenty of low-cost options for lugging around your tech accessories. For the thriftiest among us, even a Ziploc bag could do. But we narrowed the field down to models that offer some sort of organizational system, figuring that if you’re going to buy a bag dedicated to organizing and protecting your tech, you might as well go all in.

Plug & play is used to describe the simple reconnection of any wiring systems when fitting an EP Tail Tidy or if EP replacement lighting systems are included, EP supplies electrical components with like-for-like connectors or wiring terminals for a straight forward, easy connection. At-home storage solutions are often slightly larger and may not have carrying handles or enclosed compartments. On the other hand, those used for travel should be compact and portable, like the July Tech Kit Organizer. If you’re looking for the best tech organizer bag, Native Union’s Stow Accessory Organizer has it all: great utility, a useful size, and impeccable style. The touches of genuine leather, the padded material, and the elegant folio look really help to cement this tech pouch as a must-have for those willing to spend a little more.

Quality’ is our mantra. Even when making an EP mug of Yorkshire Tea, we continually whisper “quali-tea”. As with all EP products, Evotech Performance refuses to produce anything less than perfection. Not just in how a tail tidy looks on a bike but also in terms of fit, the styling of the tail tidy itself – has to blend in seamlessly with the bike’s lines and curves – and function. If this means a great deal of CNC-machining is required to produce an EP Tail Tidy main body on which to support the original indicators and rear light assembly, and include mount locating holes, fastener threads etc, then that’s what happens. And to top it off, there is the durable powder coat finish applied in-house by our own powder coat station.
