What does your tail chop look like?

[eichh]

I wanted to do a tail chop on my S4 and was looking to see what others may have done and how they went about it. It would be great to see some pictures and some suggestions (some what not to do's would be handy also). Thanks, Eichh

sawzall, chop it off and then use el matadors bracket.
(i know this isnt an s4, but yeah)

I think thats too much cutting.
What about the DP slim tail ? Does anyone have it and still want to chop ?
I also want to get rid of the bulky plastic stuff, but not turn it into a Manx cat

Here's mine





Used a pipe cutter to cut the frame. While LOOOOOONG and tedious, creates great cut lines and looks very clean.

The plate light was relocated under the seat above the wheel. The plate was mounted to an aluminum bar that is mounted to the lower bolts of the carbon side panels.
