You might find this link handy: http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/showthread.php?t=25584&highlight=tail+chop

Otherwise, do a search for tail chop, there are lots of posts on the subject.
I think there are a few video tutorials in there somewhere too, if you can't find them or can't be arsed, you should find them on youtube, that's where the vids on here came from anyway.
I'm just about to do a chop on my 900, it's not that difficult really.

Have fun.
George.

I reversed mine and ran it forwards towards the tank.

Then used the outer of the cable to move the lever with the nipple trapped in the fixed point - it isn't pretty but it would be better next time - I will do you some pix if you want

I heated mine up and bent it round so it faced forward.
Used a couple of hefty brackets bent to the shape I wanted to mount the number plate
and a couple of little L brackets to mount the indicators of the back of the tail light.
I did originally buy a universal tail tidy which split with the duc vibes.
