Everyone has there opinion whether to chop or not to chop the fender on their bikes.  I want to know what everyone has done.

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...

No chop....

Part of me want to chop my tail, then a little voice says "there's no going back!"  SO Now I think the carbon shorty tail is a GOOD compromise.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Chop that pregnant dog [evil]

When I chopped mine everyone that saw my bike before and after said it looks 10 times cooler with the chop.  Who cares about getting more wet in the rain.  You're already wet.  The layout of my cookie 1 tail chop puts the plate in line with most of the rooster tail anyways.  You can also keep a length of aluminum under the seat and put it on when it is raining to block the trail.

Remember in Austin Powers, when Fred Savich (I think that's his name) had that BIG mole on his face. And Austin just couldn't get past looking at that HUGE mole?
THAT is what the ugly stock rear fender looks like to me.
UGLY! It looks like a parachute!

So, it's up to you. Can you stand riding around on a cool bike with a big MOLE hanging off the back end?

I'm keeping that part of my bike stock....no chop for me!

No chop for me either, but I like the way a chop looks.  Maybe after I've had it a while and I'm ready for a change...

Chopped both of them.  I like to have my signals small and my plate higher than the tire. It was my right of passage owning a Monster.

sawing my frame was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.

make the beast with two backs resale value, it's my bike now.

I chopped mine last Saturday, it looks 10 times better.. I did the tail chop and cut the cans down( high mount ) as far as "no going back" I handed the amputated portion off to a machinist @ work, hes going to find a rod that will fit it tight then drill mounting holes in it and the bike frame. That way it can be put back on if/when I decide to sell it.  I took a lot of pics and measurements while doing it. I'm in the process of doing a write up one it tp post here.
