Nice cans Joo.

[Rogerg]

what no cans,

did you start it up without them on?

still get on ok with the neighbors?

I knew you'd come round eventually - still I think that bike would look really good with a black swing arm.

[SazzaG]

Finally, after so many photoshopped "look, I've got a tail chop" pictures!

And you'd better not stick your tea tray on ebay this week - I don't want competition!

How's your truck?

[gjfevans]

I must say thats a tidy little back side you have there;)

[The Kevlar Kid]

Noooooooooo.............

:dc: :dc: :cens: :dc: :dc: :cry: :cry:

[singletrack]

Julie............................

what have you done?

[Blah blah]

Long live the tea tray...

[gary tompkins]

Neat job Joo

Actually....

think I might weld mine back on - the chop is so last season darling :mand:


yeah right.... as if :rolleyes:

[Kiwi]

nice one where did you get the kit from?

a definite improvement

have just got back from a week in italy (loads of monsters everywhere there) and wife has decided that the back end of her monster is getting the chop

[Gadget]

No.. Another one gone over to the shortside.

[Julie]

The kit is from JMo - Its her tail chop kit and is the only way you can do a proper pro job!

Contact her and she'll sell you one for £39.99 she has a few still left.

In fact PM me as she is staying over at mine for a few days if you want one.

Going out to buy the same Indicators as you Saz over the weekend!


Black swing arm soooooooooon!

Yeah







who needs a hypermotard!?

[gary tompkins]

Bet JMo was singing "another one bites the dust" as you broke out the saw?

Looking forward to a few more shots + cans - just so I can drool over those fantastic Sil megaphones again :biggrin:

[SazzaG]

Going out to buy the same Indicators as you Saz over the weekend!

You are such a stalker, Joo!

[markus]

Yey Woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one Julie - looks awesome, it's all about the tight rear end.....

[giler]

Definately a contender for Rear of the Year!

[markus]

Black swing arm soooooooooon

I concur Joo - will look awesome!!!, y'know i love your bike anyway! maybe black yokes too mmmmmmmmmm, could even black nitrate the forks, and spray the engine black, and black all in one leathers witha black helmet and black visor.................. I WANT A BLACK BIKE :hissy: :hissy: :hissy:

[bigredduke]

Tut! Tut! Have you forgotten your pledge to Ruth not that long ago already?

I promise to cherish and tenderly care for you, to honour and encourage you. l will respect you as an individual and be true to you through good times and bad. I will never, ever, ever, succumb to the evil threat that is the TAIL CHOP! To these things I give my word

I really am so, very disappointed in you young lady. Hang your head in shame!
See me at the trackday!

[Julie]

Black swing arm is going on on saturday! Yeah!!

Engine casing will be powder coated black when i can afford (hopefully this Winter) Black belt covers as well.

Then put my can's back on after the swing arm and i'll post some more photos up.

I'm not a total convert to the tail chop - i like to think i sit in the middle - some bikes need one some don't. Mine did once i put those high level cans on as the indicators were balancing on the top of the can causing a nasty rub mark.

Then i saw Saz's dinkywinkers (who i like to stalk) and thought 'hmmmmm maybe i'll chop chop chop' and as you all know Jenny has been chomping at the bit to get my tea tray chopped off!

Watch this space...


Oh and BFD - Yes Sir.. Sorry Sir...I won't do it again Sir x

[Rogerg]

now all you need is a nice set of super moto wheels for the KTM and your life will be complete!

[Mand]

You Traitor!!!!!!

oooo hang on a minute....I am coming to see you in my car tomorrow before you get any ideas!

[David Bahar]

must say i do think the bike looks sexyer, and it still keeps on the italian side of design, cant understand why some ducati owners seem to try and follow the japanes fasion trends.

[David Bahar]

did you use the saw on your hair, only joking the bike looks as cool as miles davis on ice. www.davidbahar.com

[J.P]

Has it been know for 'Hoodie' types to creep up to bikes late at night and just chop the tails off ?

[markus]

well it would be about time they started doing the public a service!!!!

It's all about the Chop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Julie]

It is true Mr Lovely Rog - but i can't afford them. Sorry

[Julie]

You Traitor!!!!!!

oooo hang on a minute....I am coming to see you in my car tomorrow before you get any ideas!

What do you mean 'in the car' you're bringing the pizzas on the back of your bike ON THE TEA TRAY x

[Chaos Inc.]

All hail the tail chop.

[logyk]

Once you start on cosmetic surgery, who knows where it will all end !

[Scotty]

umm in a word yes making the back of the bike smaller will make your bum look bigger

[Scotty]

in fact, with hindsight, we could have done with pictures of your backside on t'bike (clothes optional ;) ) so we could lear, err compare, with and without a tail :o

feel free to post up afterwards pics anyway :rolleyes:

"The kit is from JMo - Its her tail chop kit and is the only way you can do a proper pro job! Contact her and she'll sell you one for £39.99 she has a few still left."
What's actually in the kit for that? Would it go on a 695? Your bike looks fantastic - so much more character!

[gremlin]

Does it matter what your bum looks like with a lovely tail like that!

[Julie]

New black swing arm today - much better i think!?

Had a bit f a problem with the dinky winker indicators today - they are earthing on the metal and not working properly. I bought Hein Gerike one's so got to take them back tomorrow and get Motrax (argghh) ones tomorrow.

I'll post a photo tomorrow when i'm flashing properly

x

[Rogerg]

looking good joo,

do you not fancy a single LED rear light with integrated turn signals then?

[SazzaG]

Had a bit f a problem with the dinky winker indicators today - they are earthing on the metal and not working properly.

I had that problem with one set I had. Got them replaced with a different pair, and they're fine.

Took me ages to work out why they worked fine on the front, right up until I tightened up the headlight bolts.

Lookin' good Jue. I've now got lovely adjustable levers (and a rear brake that works).

The beast arrives next Saturday....

[JMo]

What's actually in the kit for that? Would it go on a 695? Your bike looks fantastic - so much more character!

Hi Pixx (and Kiwi on page 1) -the kit includes a powdercoated aluminium bracket to remount the rear light to the frame (and tabs for optional indicators on each side, although personally I recommend the combined LED lamp from Clear Alternatives which has the indicators built in), all the mounting hardware, plastic bungs for the frame ends, and full (illustrated) instructions for carrying out the chop.

The kit is designed to utilise the original plastic numberplate bracket on your bike - I made a special one off metal bracket for Julie as she wanted it like that, but it was a lot of work, and again personally, I think it looks more 'factory' with the plastic plate holder. You also utilise the original number plate light, although alternatives could also be fitted if you prefer.

Julie's photos show pretty much what is required - you cut the rearmost section of the seat subframe, bolt on the bracket with the numberplate holder attached (to the existing holes in the frame), and stick in the frame bungs to finish it off- shouldn't take you much more than an hour...

If you'd like to order a kit, PM me and I'll sort it out... they are designed to fit any monster with the curved tea tray (that is essentially 1999 onwards)...

[Scotty]

you going to paint the belt covers black also ? its in eaons book of law for monster styleing ;)

[Julie]

Do you think spraying the grey covers will be ok? what paint / spray would you use?

[GULLY]

That looks much better,off with that tail.

and you bum looked just fine to me at weekender :chuckle:
i was not looking. well may be:p

Gully

[S4Mal]

You can get a clear LED rear light with built in white LEDs for number plate illumination, then you wouldnt need the extra light housing. Looks good tho.

Or.....

Cut a window in the bottom & fill it in with clear perspex. I used an old CD case for mine and glued it in using silicone bath sealant. Worked a treat and allowed me bin the (naff) numberplate light :)


Those Sil high level megaphones are the mutts nuts Julie :cool:

[Julie]

Thanks chaps - i like the number plate light box thing tho - it makes it look factory even though its not.

Off to get the dinky winkers today - more photos to follow.

I still can't belive i have a bloody tail chop after all these years of saying NO.

[Julie]

looking good joo,

I think Jen's looks great but i want the dinkywinkers - i'm stalking saz now not jen.

[SazzaG]

I'm so flattered!

You should get a smoked glass rear led light. That would look really cool.

[Julie]

All done - I couldnt get hold of the dinky winkers - so bought these - what do you think?

[Scotty]

arrrrrgh its winking at me (glad im not in the shed of dread)

umm painting plastic belt covers errm i keep useing halfords car spray paint
today ive been trying hammerite in a spray tin but im not rateing that very highly at the moment, what did you use on swingarm ? it looks more satin finnish than the gloss of the rest of the black bits


umm as a neverending cash spend you can get chromed bulbs to reduce the orangeness when not in use if your into that and clear lenses for the front an all etc etc

still all looking very tidey

[SazzaG]

They look pretty much the same to me.

You'll be so much faster now, without all that plastic flapping around behind you!

[benson]

Mucho cuto bike there Julie - and I like the winky thingies even if they're not dinky!:woot:

[bigredduke]

Looking very classy, just like the owner!

still all looking very tideyThe swing arm is in fact JMo's old swing arm which she had powder coated (proper job) satin black to match the frame and hugger. It looks perfect.

I like orange len's thats what i wanted but this was the only option i could get and i needed it today.

The bike is satin finish and matchs the swing arm - its not gloss finish.

[Scotty]

Orange :! ORANNGE should have bought a ktm ... uh hold on :p

uh wheels and frame look shineyer in the photo's :?

[markus]

New black swing arm today - much better i think!?

Looks fantastic Julie!

Do you think spraying the grey covers will be ok? what paint / spray would you use?

I looked into this, and because they need etch priming first etc etc It was all too much effort so i just bought some 695 ones instead - cost 40quid but lazyness is a virtue!

[Julie]

That was plan 2. Tho maybe i should make it plan 1!?

[Chappers]

Looks brilliant and such a neat job too :thumbsup:

[yeharrr]

Carbon tea tray on mine, can't bring myself to chop it.
Nice job on yours though.

[ducrissi]

Looks really good - can you send me the info for where to get the kit from? i've been thinking of getting rid of mine - but just not got round to it.. now someone has knocked one of the indicators off so i think now might be the time to do it!

You know it makes sense...

http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/showthread.php?t=19704

Do remember that the numberplate holder bracket in the pictures of Julies bike is a custom one-off - the kit is designed to utilise the original plastic numper plate holder from your own bike (or alternatively you could fit a suitably shapped RRsend bracket etc.)

See pictures on the thread above, and send me a PM if you'd like to order a kit...

[spanish biker]

thats a nice tidy looking :cens: that:chuckle:
