Have contemplated doing mine, but i have high mount termis on an S4R...going on separate sides. if i chop the tail they will stick out at least 100mill past the tail, may look a bit odd i feel......?????????????

As I don't actually hate the tail chop, I wouldn't or couldn't do it myself.

I think it would be like Danni Pedrosa cracking a smile or Marco Simoncelli cutting his fro. [cheeky]

It wouldn't be the same.

It wouldn't be a monster. [moto]

yep, would look a bit strange IMHO. Tidy lines and all that! If in line with the pipes I reckon it's OK, but otherwise it might look a bit naff. Might be best to try it out in Photoshop first!

This is what the Tail chop looks like on an S2R 800 with the original length Termi Cans, I wasn't sure how it
would look either, but I have to say I ended up really liking them stick out a bit further, I know some people have
chopped them as well, I considered it, but I have to say I prefer them at that length.

Also you can refer to my Tail chop Tutorial found here:

Feel free to add to the Topic, even throw the Videos in there. I always try to make my Tutorials open ended, meaning
I want people to contribute to them and make them better.  [moto]

You can always chop the pipes, after I chopped mine I took about 75mm off my pipe to help neaten up the whole look.  ;)
