glad to see option 3 !!! [thumbsup]
I asked myself the same question for a year, once chopped you'll wonder why you ever questioned it.
chop. But do it tastefully and right. Research before you commit so you know how to paint or finish off the bare metal. They do look better shortened up but how you do it and the craftsmanship is possibly even more important.
My 2 pesos.
if you're a weekend warrior that never rides in wet or rainy weather do it.
if not, don't.
There's only one right answer in there.
chop chop chop away
There isn't a sharp hacksaw blade anywhere on my property.... ;D
I had mine 2 years before I decided to chop the tail. Really can't tell you to or not too. I will say this however, now that I have shortened the exhaust, the tail chop looks awesome.

I ride my chopped S2R year round in portland without a rear hugger and with dual sport tires.
not a big deal.

Does your back get soaked and muddy? If you don't mind more power to you.

Pretty sure the baron has the technology to paint the job.
Perhaps he lacks he ambition though. ;D
chop it. It took me 15 minutes after I got it home to do it and I have no regrets.
Do what you want. There are enough pics on here with chopped tails for you to know if you'll like it or not. For me? Only way to go is the chop.

nope. I can take a pic of my gear if you like. I went out on tuesday for about 3 hours in total downpour through streets covered in dead leaves and there wasn't any mud or (additional) wetness.
