Yeah it might be a local thing. Out of curiosity I did a quick pole on the Monsters listed on eBay. There were more than I could be bothered to count! Still, based on a low down number plate / clearly visible T Tray, or high plate / no T Tray the numbers were 70% have had a chop and sport a streamlined rear! Ah lazy Sunday morning, ideal for wasting time on pointless tinterweb research. LOL.

One possibility your eBuy trawl throws up is that a lot of people with “spoilt” Monsters want to sell them on rather than keeping them? Eventually they may all become chopped as I’ve heard of people cutting them, but very few reversing the process.

Theres also the performance gains from the reduced weight and aero improvement. Surely makes the chop essential? Still I guess the unspoilt ones are convienient when you're having a picnic and you need a table. Or perhaps somewhere to iron your shirts...

Spoilt brats are often much loved, though not necessarily in the best long term interests of the child/bratbike!

imgur Is it true that the early edition Monster came with their own crockery? TBH I always thought the term "Tea Tray" was wrong.
