where did you get them from and what are they worth???

Just looking at some tail chop kits at the moment.. Not sure if I will cut the rear end off completely or just try and lift the number plate further up underneath yet.. Cutting the frame is a little scary at the moment lol

Got em off a mate in aussie for $75 aussie..he got them from aussiestreetfighter website,sorry i havent got there web addy but if you do a search with that title it will come up i am sure..or even barend mirrors will bring something up..in saying that no doubt you can get some nice ones in NZ.Try sportsbikes.co.nz as they did have a few different types.

will look into that.. Still can't decide what to do with the tail...Here is some pics maybe you can help decide.

First one is just a half chop (number plate just moved upward)
Second is full tail chop..

For me anyway the second one looks the Ducs nuts..scuse the pun,awsome.the only thing to consider though is when riding in the rain your going to have water flying everywere as i found out with mine..to be honest i never even thought about it before buying my undertray but believe me the oem guards do keep the water down..just a thought anyway,as i say for looks alone the second pic looks fantastic...may be easier to live with the first one..depends how much touring around you intend on doing i guess.

ahh true .. you behave then

by the time your ready to ride the spring weather should be upon us, look forward to seeing you out & about on it

Nice choice of bike - I'm trying to persuade the missus to get one but she'll prolly get an IL4 screamer instead.

You will get all sorts of shit thrown up your back in the wet if you chop the tail off though. Unless you're gonna be one of those dudes that only ride when the sun is shining!

When are you gonna change your name to manwithavtwin?

**Krusti** · 25th July 2007, 21:21

God I hate those pics of new bikes in garages, I want a garage!

**mbazza** · 25th July 2007, 21:35

That's a way cool bike. Too good to leave in the garage. Good on you!

On the strength of your new bike I went out to the garage and realised the wof was due. So another excuse to ride tomorrow. I love using motorbikes!

Ride happy and keep the visor up for all the world to see! cheers.
