absolutely, I think the tea tray was an after thought and not part of the original design, EU regulations forced it etc. In Bologna I didn't see a single Monster with a tea tray, all chopped.

On such a lovely early one I would be extra careful and do a clean job.

I missed it on ebay and then he put it in to pistonheads and I got lucky

BTW any idea where can I move the remote adjuster for the shock?

Very tasty looking bike

If you are going take the belly pan off I'm sure theere will be plenty of interest.

Re: Ohlins remote

You might be able to squeeze it under the seat (between frame rails) if the hose will reach?

Will have a look as I need the space where it is now for those cool CF pods that direct air at rear cylinder.

Very nice, like those D&Ds!

Keep the bellypan in my opinion, but would def do tail chop, even if you do get a little extra dirty / wet.

Good looking bike though, I used to have d&d stubby cans on my last monster, they were so loud! I loved them!

Cooper I meet today at McDonalds was not impressed but for MOT I had to chop off part of D&D plate on side of exhaust with words "RACE USE ONLY!" so got away.
