cant believe you can undo a tail chop on yer bikes, its 'one way' option for the rest of us....

Well technically you can. You can put yours back but not to original other than welding and painting permanent .
You could however make some turned plugs same diameter as the inside of tube and grub screw fix back. Thing is you either chop or dont on the old. Choice is always yours. I just think the new tail is too long and too thin and I dont actually care no more. She now has waterproofs .

Yes the same size as your rear. 1" smallers ok for me. 8" x 6" I think.

Purchased a oil cooler grill from these guys, top quality product and company. The item they advertised on ebay was for the hypermotard http://www.evotech-performance.com/a...ards_6870.html emailed them and they agreed to take it back if it did'nt fit. Modified the bend at the top the other direction and it fitted the best.

Albie, sorry to read about your spill get well soon.

regards Vince

Ive been chopped

Well the tail tidys done other than awaiting small numberplate and I have to cable tie rear loom up as just noticed on pics.

Highly recommend this kit as even a one armed cripple can fit. I have raised Termis to position 2 bracket as indicators are now higher.

Glad the chops done as saved a lot more weight.

shame bikes have to have number plates.I kept mine full size,thought more likely to get stopped for small number plates than loud pipes,but if got stopped for plate might get done for pipes as well.

funny that the fedex man arrived 5 mins after posting thread. So it has a number plate again. I now need a yellow screw though. The number plate is 1" smaller all round and letters are legal size other than 1mm smaller on spacing. It would be a really keen spoilsport to question it.

1/2 " clear each side of exhausts has to be done or will melt.
