I tried to search this with no luck.  I know the Ducati short tail kit is outrageously expensive, but does
anyone have it installed that they can post a pic. I want to see how it looks in respect to the werkes.

Thanks.

My bike is getting one put on as we speak.  I will shoot you a couple pics as soon as I get it back. 

There are a few guys on here that got the DP kit. 

Here is a pic I found of one.

i installed mine about 3 mos ago. looks great with my high mounted exhaust. a tail chop would have made it look a bit too short with my exhaust. installation was fairly easy. i had to put a couple washers on the bolts connecting the tail light as the seat post wouldn't clear. other than that...simple.

here's some pix for ya...she's a bit dirty but you can see how good the tail looks.

Thanks for all the pics everyone.

I think I will ask Santa to bring me this for Christmas.  [thumbsup]

There are two different ones people have posted so I'm not sure which one you were looking for pics of but here is my short tail kit complete with Rizoma directionals custom fit.

Which tail chop is this? I didn't know Ducati made the tail chop in carbon.

Look for the RG Racing one as well. nice construction, and i think better looking than the DP and CW tails. plus i have to say that since i'm using it.

This post is useless without pictures.  [cheeky]

Of course I did!  ;D

Although for a minute I thought it was a part for the "classic" style Monsters like mine and I was a bit confused as to why I had never seen it. Hence the reason why I wanted pics!  [cheeky]

I've been looking at that same tail chop kit.  How hard was it to install?  Do you have to relocate the seat lock like the DP kit?  I like the plate position relative to the tail light better than the Werks kit.  The DP kit is nice but I want the plate more tucked in.  Besides, the R&G one costs less...
