New Tail on an old Monster..

[Julie]

I put a new tail on Ruths 1994 M600.
Thanks to JMo, Jason Cursley and Gary Thompkins. Thank you three for sending me the parts i needed. It has worked very well.

I really didnt like the 'old' Style tea tray and did consider doing a tail chop. But we really weren't convinced that we would like it after the chop. So I fitted a new style tea tray to old style bike.
All as i needed to do was to drill two new holes in the frame to line up with the new tray and the rest was easy!

Here are some photos taken to night, They are not great but give you an idea of how it looks.

Thanks again for all your help and advice.

How easy was it to do????

Cheers

If anyone here has the bits from a tailchop up for grabs I am interested as I have a monster with an old tail and want to give it a new one.

And before anyone say's give it the chop. I don't want a load of crud up my back when I ride in the beautiful british summer weather.

Cheers

In case anyone is wondering how high level cans (like Sils) fit in with later style tray and indicators, here is a shot of mine pre-chop...

[gary tompkins]

And a shot of rear end after an appointment with Dr Hacksaw...

I know which I prefer - even if I do get a dirty back in the rain :D

I know - all these woosies worried about getting wet if they chop the tail off - for goodness sake, you're on a naked bike - YOU'RE GONNA GET WET ANYWAY!!!

Now please stop assaulting my asthetic sensitivities any further... indeed, I may have to unsubscribe myself from this thread...
