There is this one from Shift-Tech that requires you to only trim a good deal less off of the rear frame than a full chop. They call it the "Half Chop..." You need to take about 85mm off. Might be a good option?

It's CF too

Best option IMO. I think the 1/2 chops look the best.

I agree with Travman on one thing though...something has to be done to the stock beer tray. They are fugly!

Then paint it.

I'm not a huge CF fan either, but pretty much any bodywork you get aftermarket is made from it. No one makes plastic aftermarket parts that I'm aware of.

I dont like the look of carbon fiber either. I still buy it for its wheight and strenth. I always paint it.

It can be painted black, which I think helps hide it a little.  Here is mine painted black with new oil lines that don't cross the belt cover. 


Another option would be to raise it and hide it within the framework of the frame similar to what Duc-Stew did with his latest "Dirt Track Special"
Hidden Oil Cooler:

yea i saw this little trick. pretty slick work.
those frame tabs look custom though.... are they?

I just took a look at my stock frame and it doesn't have any such tabs, so those must be custom tabs added just for the purpose of raising the oil cooler.

come on guys... seriously if they had been there someone would have done it before. Stu is the man on this one.
