I felt uncomfortable cutting the frame, so here's what I went with.

--No chop CF Tail Unit. (Monster Parts)
--Clear Alternatives LED tail Light.
--LightTech LED turn Signals.
--Custom Dynamics LED lighted plate frame.

I modified the aluminum bracket on the tail unit to eliminate the tag-light and mount the plate a bit higher.

Nicely done Joe.  I really like how you mounted the plate. 

Welcome to the "fans of no tail chop" club. Looks like we have another CF addict. Psssttt, I have a DP CF clutch cover for sale, to go with your cans/tail/belt covers.

What is with all you people with your chopped tails?

My wife says "absolutely not!" on the clutch cover...but tell me more. Open? Closed? Pics maybe?
I'm a little concerned about the lack of protection for the clutch if you go down with a CF cover, but I could be persuaded to go CF.
Just don't tell my wife!! 

Looks good. _{now chop it} 

You have two choices:

1) chopped
2) doesn't look good

Really? I kinda thought mine looked pretty good.

Yeah, I had one of those for about a year.

Then I chopped!   

That's the great thing about Monsters...they're a canvas and everyone can paint their picture!   [moto]

Sorry, I'm glad you like it, but chopped is the way it looks best IMO. Yes Tom, your bike looks good as a package, but would look better, again IMO, with a chop...

This looks good, I have been looking for a way to make the tail look a little better on mine

Out of curiosity, how many tail chop pieces do you have mounted on your garage wall?

Well spoken Pompetta - Joe, make it look the way you want it to look.
