A standard tail tidy relocates the number plate and usually keeps your stock tail light and mudguard. That works if you like the original rear end. But if your goal is a genuinely different silhouette — the short-tail look of a scrambler or café racer — a tail tidy alone leaves you sourcing a compatible tail light, a plate light, indicator relocation brackets and wiring adapters separately, and hoping they all cooperate with the Bonneville's ECU.
This kit exists for the second scenario. The mudguard, tail light, plate bracket, plate light and indicator mounts were built as one system for the liquid-cooled T100 and T120 platform, and the supplied adapter with its built-in diode connects everything to the original loom without triggering dashboard errors.
Rear indicator placement: frame or plate?
The kit gives you a choice of rear indicator mounting: on the frame, or on either side of the number plate.
- Frame mounting keeps the plate area minimal and draws the eye to the mudguard line — a natural choice for stripped-back scrambler builds.
- Plate-side mounting groups all rear lighting in one compact cluster, which some riders prefer for a tidier frame.
Both positions use the mounts included in the kit, so you can decide during installation.
Why the adjustable anti-splash guards matter
Number plate dimensions vary widely between countries and registration types. Fixed splash guards designed around one plate size either leave gaps or force ugly compromises. The guards above and below the plate on this kit adjust to your plate format, so protection stays consistent whichever market your Bonneville is registered in.
Planning the full front-to-back conversion
If you intend to replace the front indicators too, order the optional fork-mounted front brackets and indicators together with the kit. The optional plug-and-play indicator adapters connect to the original loom, and the small inline resistors correct the flash rate without replacing the relay — the neatest route to a fully converted, road-legal lighting setup in a single install session.
