Title: Re: Rear Tail Chop - Just the Facts for SA riders - and some national info.... Post by: tonymtber on February 11, 2010, 08:36:54 PM I didnt see the words "No Tail Chop" anywhere.....
Seriously though, the guys at Ducati Adelaide (before they shut up shop) said that the cops would look closely at any tail chop if there was no rear reflector....so I chopped my tail & mounted the factory reflector on a shortened bracket below the plate.....so far no probs!

wet riding pillion cops it a bit thats good for the driver ;D I have been pulled over by the N.S.W. [leo] but they didn't even give it a second glance think they were more concerned with my interpretation of the speed limit limit what limit [evil] Sometimes I think I miss the tray but didn't like the way the indicators wobbled all the time I have kept the frame for a re weld on sale if necessary .
