Tail Chop Alternatives

15-08-2009, 08:00 PM

Hi all,

I was reading an older topic (2005) on this but it seems all the links are now dead

So far all i've found is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TAIL-TIDY--x-r...QQcmdZViewItem

Are there any other ones?

Thanks again!

I just realised because of the High level cans, I can't have the tail any shorter

This option might work with your hi-levels - it's a bit shorter but no where near a tail chop.

Cool, Where/how much?

I like those tail lights by the way

Lights = Scotty (UKMOC) specials

Carbon tail = via fleabay Italy about 100euros - can get them in the UK but were more expensive when I was looking

i guess you can either shorten the cans down a bit, or, do what i did and put the cans low down, imho it really opens up the rear wheel, i think that the tail chop looks better with lower cans....

loving that rear light also, it would be great if the two outside lights doubled up as indicators???

Keep the tail, or use a shorter carbon one like the one LVC has used. Those high level cans are too lovely to lose!
I do know of people who have shortened the cans to allow a tail chop, but I think that might be a bit loud on your bike, unless you put the baffles back in.

Nice bike by the way

I agree the high levels are too nice, I never wanted a tail chop in the first place. Just something to tidy it up a little, thanks it is nice isn't it
