Tail Chop Poll

I'm interested in both aesthetics and quality. Looking to purchase one or the other in the next week or two.

Thanks.

i keep hearing people saying this, dude, some of us don't have a metal shop in our garages, let alone an angle grinder...

I'd do it myself if I had it to do over again. I was still pretty new to working on bikes when I did mine a few years back. Ducati took care of that though...

I believe the 696/1100 is slightly more involved than the older monsters, due to the pan and the lock position, but I might take a ride up to a friends welding shop I worked at in highschool and college and fab one up. Ill post pics if I go that route. Finding time is the problem.

ha ha nice! with my garage i could have made one out of wood. not sure how that would have looked.

I have the CW kit but if I could do it all over again I would have gone with the Tidy Tail. It looks like a better kit all around. The CW kit is just bent sheet metal and the lighting sucks. lol yes, I'm law abiding.

thats true, but, i like the forward plate position of the CW kit and i made my own lighting. the tailtidy does look nice for an under the light position though

R&G with my new exhausts.

i've tried the CW. didn't like it. got the R&G love it. I did get stopped by the german cops one night. said the angle was too much. said that is how it is, it didn't change it

but the CW in the lower position... i would have had a ticket and even in the upper position the lighting would have gotten me a ticket.
