Hi,
I am new to the board and just picked up a 2000 Monster Dark. Looking for a good, reputable place to pick up some mods for the bike. HAve looked around and found a mixed bag of results.
Also would love to hear any recommendations for brands and models etc for Clip-ons, Chopped Tail and exhaust options.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony
There's a big old clip on thread that covers just about every option we have. One that might be missing is the new stuff from SpeedyMoto. Run a search and you should find it. It covers a dozen or more brands.
Tailchops... What are you looking for? 1/2? Full? A kit or DIY templates?
Exhausts... another can of worms. What's your preference? High? Low? Carbon? Steel? Titanium? Retro? Modern? None at all...
Easiest suggestion I can make is go to motowheels.com and look at their offerings. They have a pretty wide selection, and usually have pix of the exhaust on a bike.
Welcome Rev,
I am still shopping for the right set of clip-ons, but I like the TPO kit for the tail chop with the Clear Alternatives light and integrated turn signals:

It is pretty cheap for the entire set up and cleans up the rear end nicely. The money you save can be put to the downpayment (along with a kidney, your first born child, and your soul to the devil) for my choice in exhaust, Termignoni:

As you will here in later postings, other exhaust, such as Arrow, look and sound every bit as good and are a little cheaper. Your exhaust setup will look a little different then mine, but the sound will be just as good. Either way, enjoy your monster and welcome to DMF!
Personally, I like the look of the Cookie 1 Tail chop from MonsterParts. It has the cleanest look of all of the kits that you can buy and the best directions.

don't waste $$$ on a kit, figure it out and chop the tail. very inexpensive and easy.

indeed.
alexandre's compilation is pretty good stuff.
as you'll discover, i had the tommaselli clip-ons, and liked them. very aggressive, though.
as for pipes and tailchop, i did cookie1's tailchop, and had low-mount arrows that i really liked the sound from.
