The tail chop

[geeman]

Just given my bike a tail chop & feelin pretty good with myself right now:booze:

[Nonnie]

Ah, well done.

Very good, very good.

Can we see?

[geeman]

How do i upload pics to this thing

[Nonnie]

Um, go advanced, press something like picture management or upload it to photobucket or something similar, copy the URL.

God I'm so useless.

Must have been the large glasses of Shiraz at lunchtime.

Sorry.

[Nonnie]

It's manage attachments that's it.

[geeman]

Hope this works

Also fitted a belly pan but still got to give it a coat of paint

[Nonnie]

That's it!

Neat job.

Must be tailchop day or something

[geeman]

Thanks

Used a route 9 tail tidy for the mod could do with some better indicators though as the standards are a little bulky

oh very nice neil, now get that bloody belly pan sprayed so we can go out and play next weekend, apparently sundays are good for painting :)

[geeman]

Or we could just stand around your tea tray and have a tea party!!!:banghead:

OOOh i cant wait. Got the clear alternatives rear led light and Jens sending my chop kit over on monday so i'll be assless soon too!

[gary tompkins]

You might wanna bend your numberplate up a bit more. Nearer 45 degrees would be better for clearance. Otherwise it may get twatted by back tyre on bumps and ripped off - just like my one did ooops! :rolleyes:

Neat job BTW but smaller flashers would look better IMO

And mine :spin:

[mad_turnips]

now smallers tail light ( motrax led ) and tinicators would be what you need

[LouSCannon]

Looking good mate, well done! :) I had to go the whole hog and get rid of the indicators too, went for ClearSolutions integrated LED indicators which are pretty snazzy.

What you got planned next?

[geeman]

Mini indicators... I've seen some that in day light you can barely tell whether there on or not so whats the best type to buy?

As for whats next, paint the belly pan and then ive acquired some twin clocks with the rev counter so get those fitted, thats it for now. Not sure what else I can do?:fou:

[neilbaldry]

Not sure what else I can do?:fou:

dont say that 'round 'ere!

i know someone will give you a few jobs!

one thing i love the look of, and cant imagine my bike without, are the frame mounted airscoops..........

[geeman]

OK, let me rephrase... not sure theres anything else I wanna do at the mo.

[neilbaldry]

Neil,

what tail chop did you use? was it a JMo Tail-chop kit? ive mailed markus as well to see what he used and really need some opinions, the thing im most concerned about is being able to revert it back to standard should i ever wanna part ex my bike, is that even possible to do or is it non reversable?

also what about indicators and stuff, this is going to be a pain in the arse isnt it...... bloody hell, if my mate neil (geeman)hadnt just done it i wouldnt be bothered,,,,,,,:twak:

[mad_turnips]

i used a b**tadised version of Jen's kit on my monnie its great

[Nickj]

LOL Damon!! The clue is in the word chop...
Errr if you CHOP your hand off today could you refit it next year? The tail chop hacks off a chunk of frame so is a bit permanent.
Having said that I would think a session with the mig and a bit of post weld grinding would reinstate the tea tray if needed.

Kellermans are the best I've had. Not the cheapest but good quality.

[Black Ferret]

JMo. Good kit, looks great when done and comes with clear instructions

Have a look at this mini carbon tea-tray.......

Comes highly recommended!!

As for the indicators, bin them all together and fit one of the integrated tail-light/indicator LED jobs. Looks the dogs, without the dangly bits!!

If you know someone with access to a lathe then simple joiny-up-bits can be made to refit the end of the sub-frame you chop off. I did it on the S4R. A couple of small bolts and it was all back to original!!

H'mmm, joiny-up bits eh? a man after my own technical ability by the sounds of it, thats just what i need though, in fact i reckon geeman could help me out there, what a stroke of luck:biggrin:

like the mini tray tho, i still think if im gonna spend more money on the rear it will be on the led rear light and possibly the worlds first reversable tailchop....obviously with lots n lots of help.

[YoungDucS4R]

.............. and possibly the worlds first reversable tailchop....obviously with lots n lots of help.

you mean the worlds SECOND reversible tailchop!!!
Been there, and got a tee shirt already!!

This is the tail chop i done last year.I got it from competition werkes,and was fairly easy to convert.I think it took 30 mins to do!!

I put some slim LED indicators on,but they looked pants as they needed to protrude further.Does anyone know of some fitted that look ok?

I have a de-cat pipe ready to fit,and also high flow air filter,but does anybody know whether there needs to be adjustment by changing these from factory fit?..I bought a power commander,but have heard some people have nothing but trouble with them,and others wouldn't say anything against them,so i guess i should suck it and see!! hahaaha

[YoungDucS4R]

exceeds the limit of 30 something KB's!!!!...my pic was 609 KB's,but just a normal digital pic of an s2r!!!!!..HELP ME somebody!!!! hahaha

Resize the photo down to below the max limit, then attach.
Or store it online on something like photobucket then post the link to the photo.
Easyeh!!

[reedyboy]

cheers for that.Never had to reduce the size of anything before!!!..haha...I'm trying to hold on to everything i've got at my age:chuckle: !!!!
