M1100 tail chop

[bobbydoll]

i have the CW kit for the m1100. there was a glitch in the install -- they messed up in packing the included parts. i received 2 left side tail light brackets. very annoying to find that at the very end of a long install. CW sent me a replacement bracket fairly quickly (2 day wait).

Actually the exhaust valve is for decible reduction to pass the DBA ratings for US and Europe.
It serves no other purpose other than that.

thats dumber than CA emission equipment...

Mine was missing a part too...
VERY FRUSTRATING!

So I talked with a manager at CW. After some pleading he agreed to sell me just the parts I needed to install the chop on my m1100... or so i thought... I had the parts express shipped for $25 and low and behold the damn thing still doesnt fit. Im very disapointed with the company and am not impressed at all with the quality of the kit.

Anyone have a link to the R&G kit? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I will most likely be selling the complete powdercoated 696 kit and bringing my business to another company from now on.

ps the bike has been apart for 2 weeks now and Im more than agitated

An alternative is EVOTECH and Ive just got one for M1100. Very good value and cheaper than R&G too. Good quality.

they dont list it on their website, but i saw an add for a new tail kit in a magazine add for
www.tamburinimoto.it
i also saw one at the ducati venice store in italy. it was near the lightech products, so maybe they make it.

edit: yes it was a lightech. for sure the lightech.it website lists the 696 but i pretty certain the one i saw was for the 1100.
here's the 696... comes with a clear taillight also!

Sorry to read you are still getting the run around. The quality of the CW kit is pretty weak. I just found my license plate light dangling by the wire cause the double stick tape gave out.
As an LEO I'm sure you know that this gives the guys with the spinning lights a good reason to stop someone...at least here in Hawaii.
So I'll be ordering a plate light from somewhere, paying some shipping, & getting rid of the junky one CW sent.
I wish I'd known about the evotech set-up when I bought my eliminator.
