Title: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: Joe on March 22, 2009, 04:46:38 AM I felt uncomfortable cutting the frame, so here's what I went with.
--No chop CF Tail Unit. (Monster Parts) --Clear Alternatives LED tail Light. --LightTech LED turn Signals. --Custom Dynamics LED lighted plate frame. I modified the aluminum bracket on the tail unit to eliminate the tag-light and mount the plate a bit higher.

[cheeky] Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: Joe on March 23, 2009, 02:24:03 PM Welcome to the "fans of no tail chop" club. Looks like we have another CF addict. Psssttt, I have a DP CF clutch cover for sale, to go with your cans/tail/belt covers. [thumbsup] My wife says "absolutely not!" on the clutch cover...but tell me more. Open? Closed? Pics maybe? I'm a little concerned about the lack of protection for the clutch if you go down with a CF cover, but I could be persuaded to go CF. Just don't tell my wife!! ;) Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: needtorque on March 23, 2009, 02:34:12 PM Looks good. now chop it [evil]
Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: DucHead on March 23, 2009, 05:01:20 PM You have two choices:
1) chopped 2) doesn't look good ;D Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: Monstermash on March 23, 2009, 05:16:34 PM You have two choices: 1) chopped 2) doesn't look good ;D Really? I kinda thought mine looked pretty good. ;D (http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff176/MonstermashS2R/Rizomas-ShortTail001.jpg) (http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff176/MonstermashS2R/Rizomas-ShortTail002-1.jpg) Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: DucHead on March 23, 2009, 05:20:25 PM Really? I kinda thought mine looked pretty good. ;D Yeah, I had one of those for about a year. Then I chopped! [thumbsup] That's the great thing about Monsters...they're a canvas and everyone can paint their picture!

Yes Tom, your bike looks good as a package, but would look better, again IMO, with a chop...
Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: dbran1949 on March 23, 2009, 05:37:44 PM This looks good, I have been looking for a way to make the tail look a little better on mine

Always loved those tail lights...
Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: dbran1949 on March 23, 2009, 08:57:27 PM Chop it. ;D can't bring myself to cut the frame.

I'm a little concerned about the lack of protection for the clutch if you go down with a CF cover, but I could be persuaded to go CF. Just don't tell my wife!! ;) Spoken like a true addict!! It is closed (max protection). You can see it here and it comes with the Corse emblem you see on it: (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff38/hypurone/Monster%20S4RS/Newest.jpg) as for the wife, what happens on the DMF, stays on the DMF!! [laugh] PM me if you are interested. Title: Re: S4Rs Tail Mod Post by: Monstermash on March 24, 2009, 05:54:21 AM No, that's just the angle of the pic. Another: (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/DSCN2307.jpg) I have to admit, the chop looks good on certain bikes, this one being a great example. It think to me, if you have a shorty exhaust like Boom Tubes or the QuatD Ex-Box, then the chop lends itself well to the overall look and flow of the bike. I haven't seen a bike I've liked it on with regular exhaust. Even when the cans have been shortened. That being said, the newer S*R style Monsters came with a slightly longer beer tray that didn't look good either. That is the specific reason I did the no-chop CF peice on my tail. Some of you may remember my last Monster that Yuu now owns. With all the mods I did on that bike I never even changed the directionals or the stock beer tray. I just thought it looked great the way it was. |
