I have the cookie version but if it came to it again it's have a go at doing my own.
Or go for the CW version.

I've decided against a tail chop due to the fact that I wouldn't like having rain and dirt flicked all over my back when riding in the lovely victorian weather.   ;D

Cairnsduc put up  a good tutorial here:  http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=19650.0

Just finished mine using comp werks , originally purchased the cookie1 but returned it as it doesn't provide a mount for the plate light
Bike looks great (reminds me of a stumpy tail blue heeler) and was really easy to do in around an hour
If you have a workshop it would be easy to make your own and save $$$
Hope the  [leo] don't pay it any attention
Anyone had any issues in Oz with Mr plod and a tail chop?

mattyvas

Never did have any trouble.
Had mine on for over a year it was all good.
Will do my new bike and going to have a go a doing my own.
Glad you went the chop, it really does clean up the tail of the Monster.

Yep, at the Supers the  [leo]'s were giving riders stick over "Fender Eliminators", booking them and taking photos of the alleged chop.  [roll]

These mods dont necessarily stop you from being pinged by speed cameras but they can cause you to avoid paying tolls on the tollways cos the cameras take your picture from rear/above, and because we still aint got front plates they cant ping us.  ;D

But of course the ONLY reason they are giving us grief over the eliminators is for safety reasons and would have absolutely NOTHING to do with aiding the Govts Privately run tollways to rip into the Victorian public some more?? Of course not!  :o  [evil]

Well I can now say from experience the toll cameras always catch a chopped Monster!
And yes speed cameras too. Got a farewell fine from the 620 in my last week of ownership.
As for the  [leo] I had no problems at all at PI for WSBK but then I didn't stay down where most of the
crowds and burnouts/wheelies/stoppies were being done in Cowes. We were down the road in San Remo area.

That aside, I've never had a any  [leo] look at me twice with a chopped tail. But then I also have been on a mild little 620
with  [evil] loud pipes but either way, she is with a new owner now and a new bike will take it's chopped place soon.

Sorry H, It was Eastlink I was referring to, but I reckon it would be wrong to assume that the CityLink etc will be a free ride in the future. Could only be a matter of time??  [roll]
