Tail Chop

uksurfer · 23-01-2010, 09:16 PM

A few months ago i decided to tail Chop my S4, but i also wanted the option of putting it back on again.
Its taken me a while, i havent much skill, i normally have ideas, but have managed eventually to do a 'Reversible tail Chop'.
It gives me the 'tail chop' look that i am after, but also give me the practicality of putting it back on for those rainy days when i really don't want to have a wet back but still want to ride.

The first video shows me taking it off, the second video shows it being put back on.
Is it a first? No, i'm sure someone mentioned doing it before but i never found any results to copy .

the best part is that it only takes a few minutes, i can decide on the day what i want to ride due to the weather, and i can take it to the MOT shop with out a problem!

I have turned my no. plates round to protect my identity.....
