Just finished install of Evotech Performance tail tidy. As you can see, it uses the stock turn signals & plate light. Instructions are online so I printed them & found them fairly straight forward. It clears the factory bags.

My little brother did the Yoshimura kit... he said it was an awful job... he felt that there was only one way to do the wiring and it was a lot of trial and error.
Did you have any drama ? Just wondering as my wife was going to order the yoshi for my upcoming birthday but I can call her off to get the evotech....

No real hard issues on install. Biggest problem for me was separating the turn sig/plate light connectors under the seat on right side. I tried to lay everything out in order of removal to help with re-install. No splicing or anything like that. I could mail you the instructions I printed if that would help or you can view them on their website. Kit was complete with hardware so you don't have to buy anything else. The turn signal connectors are color coded gray & black so you shouldn't have any issues.
Gary, I installed the Yoshi fender eliminator on my '13 N1K and it went pretty smoothly, it's neat and comes with its own plate surround. I really like it.

I did the Yosh kit on my '14 and yeah the wiring was a hassle. Yosh provides a new tail light so that needs splicing(connectors included). The plate covers the original wiring hole so you have to figure out a way to route the turn signal wires as not to crush them. It was a bit of trial and error but I got 'er done!I never got a chance to set my wife up to get the evotech... so she ordered the Yoshi. Hopefully my little brother is just a dimwit

Mikey1000, the 2014 Evotech for the Z1000SX fits the 2014/2015 Ninja 1000? And clears the hard saddle bags?Found it on Ebay from this seller:MCmotorcycleparts. Item # was 301258606236. Description: Kawasaki Z1000SX Fender Eliminator/Tail Tidy. Year 2014. Evotech Performance. That should help some.

Z1000SX is a Ninja 1000. That's the bike's name for the rest of the world. It looks like Evotech made changes specifically for the 14/15 MY and the new bags. I suppose if you never plan on getting any, the older style would still work and tuck it in a little further.

Does anyone know of a US seller that will take credit cards without going through PayPal as the processor? PayPal doesn't want me as a customer anymore, so no sense in me using them, even as a guest. MCMotorcycleparts only lists PP as an option and they seem to be the only US seller I can find. I'm looking for bun001532, which is the '14-'15+ version.

Love it. Installing it went mostly without incident. I did have to cut a clip off the undertail though. And trying to hold the undertail, the tidy, 2 screws, 2 washers and two spacers while trying to get the nuts started on top is a feat.
I'd advise using blue threadlock on the license plate light bolts and the 4 screws attaching the whole thing to the bike.
