What tail tidy is everyone using and do they keep the seat key cover and OEM wiring?

Tail Tidy

Just bought a basic tail tidy that still uses the original extension. I didn't want to lose the seat lock cover. While it's a tad fiddly the lock cover is effective at keeping dirt out. I wasn't sure about the Evotech and R&G products as it looks like they leave the lock face open to the elements. I'm wondering about your experience with different products and how they manage the seat lock protection?
Not fitted the one I have yet. I'll do pictures once done 👍🏼

The R & G has a seat lock cover,it is very effective and no dirt or water gets in it,unlike the rider as having the tail tidy fitted and being out in the rain results in a spray of dirty water all up your back.It also comes with an LED number plate light that has the correct end to plug into the bikes wiring,so no cutting.

Fitted the unit at the weekend. It was more straight forward than some YouTube videos suggested. No cable cutting required. I do note the unit is 7" wide so those wanting to push the number plate size boundaries might be slightly disappointed. It also means the indicators are pushed out a good few cm on both sides. Thankfully it's still compatible with the paniers. 👍🏼 The finish is generally very good but where you need to bend off the optional after market indicator brackets it leaves burrs. I had to dremmel these off to get a good finish and touch up the exposed metal As a bit of protection from the elements. It's also a muckle piece weighing in at just under 400grams. That surprised me a little. I'm used to parts being intentionally lighter. But the end result is solid, you could lift the bike with it, so can't argue with that. All in all I'm pretty impressed for the price point. I'll upload a picture once I work out how. I expect it might look best with an 8" plate but will experiment.
