You'll find the answer to all your questions if you do a search for "tail" and "chop".
But try this one for size!! I did!!
And so have a few others I think......

For the Shift-tech tail you DO cut the tail off!
About 85mm if I remember correctly.
Its a much much shorter version than the carbon dp job.

I've just ordered a Tail Chop Kit from Competition Werkes.

http://secure.compwerkes.com/Detail.bok?no=299

I couldn't find a stockist here so I've had to order it from the States.

Will let you know what it's like when it arrives.

Step Two
Cut tail off bike, cut coco pops packet into right shape for bracket.

Step Three

Metal working chappie "you want it in stainless?"
Crust - "ooh, mmm shiny"
Mwc - "there you go mate, you want it cut to shape?"
Crust - "shiny, erm yes."

i made my own bracket last year out of a piece of aluminium plate. i'll try and scan the template soon and post it as a word doc or something easy to print off.
got pulled by the mot tester tonight for no reflector at the back. gave me a cert but told me i should have one fitted. the $119.95 one in the ad above doesn't have one

doesn't chopping the frame back affect resale value?
