This is my favorite of the tail tidys. I believe it is the only one with integrated turn signals (am I wrong on this?). Of course it is also the most expensive one!


I'm afraid you are wrong.... ;)

The FBT and Motobox come with integrated indicators but (with Motobox at least) you can specify separate indicators configuration as well.

All LED tails mentioned are good, down to personal choice and price really.

FBT should really say that one their page. It is not listed and there are no images of an integrated turn signal in action. They only show images with stock turn signals attached.

motobox page is confusing as well. Their indicator dropdown seems to want you to purchase indicators as an addon without mentioning built turn signal LED functionality. The description reads "Fully integrated Slimline LED tail light and turn signal solution for the BMW R9T". I figured the 'turn signal solution' was their optional oberons.

Daedalus actually states intergrated turn signals and shows an image of it in action.

Good to know that all 3 solutions include intergrated turn signals and are plug and play. It looks like motobox comes with a US license plate bracket by default. FBT doesn't state if they do or do not include a bracket but their separate entry for a USA plate adapter hints that they tail tidy comes with a euro version. Daedalus offers a bracket for an extra $50.

FBT - $373 (plus $36 for US license adapter, $28 international shipping) - $437
Motobox - $365 ($9 shipping in US, $70 international) - $374
Daedalus - $599 (with license mount, $15 shipping for me) - $614

So it appears that Motobox is cheapest if you are in USA, FBT if you are not. Daedalus if you are a baller

New Rage Cycles seems to actually offer the most affordable plug and play solution at $285 ($15 shipping) but I am unaware of anyone who has ran this setup. 2 LED bars, bottom one is turn signal.

Apologies if going off topic...I looked at the New Rage Cycles tidy but the plate is "tucked" under the seat (not a separate bracket at the end of the tidy and is also slightly angled up and away from the ground compromising visibility. FWIW, Brian at AJ Cycles thought the quality of the Motobox was just overall better than the New Rage.
