Title: Tail Chop Poll
Post by: amcloud on March 30, 2009, 09:43:32 AM
I'm interested in both aesthetics and quality.  Looking to purchase one or the other in the next week or two.

Thanks.

i keep hearing people saying this, dude, some of us don't have a metal shop in our garages, let alone an angle grinder...

I'd do it myself if I had it to do over again.  I was still pretty new to working on bikes when I did mine a few years back.  Ducati took care of that though...

I believe the 696/1100 is slightly more involved than the older monsters, due to the pan and the lock position, but I might take a ride up to a friends welding shop I worked at in highschool and college and fab one up.  Ill post pics if I go that route.  Finding time is the problem.

I have the CW kit but if I could do it all over again I would have gone with the Tidy Tail. It looks like a better kit all around. The CW kit is just bent sheet metal and the lighting sucks. lol yes, I'm law abiding.

thats true, but, i like the forward plate position of the CW kit and i made my own lighting. the tailtidy does look nice for an under the light position though

R&G with my new exhausts.

i've tried the CW. didn't like it. got the R&G love it. I did get stopped by the german cops one night. said the angle was too much. said that is how it is, it didn't change it  [roll] but the CW in the lower position... i would have had a ticket and even in the upper position the lighting would have gotten me a ticket.

I have the CW kit. The instructions were ridiculous at best but once I figured it out it looks great. Wanted to smash my head into a wall reading the directions, though. [bang]

i do agree the directions were bad, but it was easy enough to figure out on my own (after taking it off and putting it on maybe 5 or 6 times)

i think the hardest part was taking the stock one off
