Here is a little soundclip of the exhaust.The camera was 3 meters away and the sound is not as good as IRL.

To do:
- Respay the tank in tricolore or replace it with a complete carbonfibre one.
- Replace the backend and make a short licenceplate

Looking real good man  [thumbsup]

Does someone know how i can shop my rear end?


If i use the search button i can't find a good picure guide

Shop your rear end?

Did you mean chop? And if so, would you want a full tail chop or a 1/2 tail chop?

I mean chop.

Don't know what the diference is with the looks.

I want a clean sleak looking bike




(sorry my Enlish is a bit bad)

No worries. I think you've just got two options. The third being a no-chop short tail like:

- It could probably be made to fit an older bike with a little work. It looks like this when mounted (no frame cutting needed)

There's a 1/2 Chop. One cuts about 65mm off the end of the frame - basically half way between the cross braces at the end of the frame. It's what I've done with my 900. Available here:

- Though it's gotten more costly than when I did it...

Looks like this on my bike:

Last is the classic full chop:

you cut even more off the frame, and the bike ends pretty much, at the end of the brake light. That's a lot mroe common to see than either of the above.

So those are the 3 most common tail options. One thing to note - if you plan to be riding in the rain or on damp roads a lot, chopping less is better. With a full tail chop the rear wheel will fling water from the rear wheel on to your back.

I also did the 'mid chop', half way along the bracket closest to the tail light. I just need something snazzy like that mid length carbon tail piece you have. It looks great and is a great compromise, looking almost stock to the [leo] and giving some mud protection. I reckon it could be made to fit my '95 model.

Very tidy.

I think i am going for the full chop.

A member of the dutch Ducati forumm has a full chopp and he is gonna help me do mine.

I will keep you up to date.

Yesterday i was driving in the dark.

When i let go of the gas with a 6000 a 7000 RPM i heared some BOOMS (hahaha)


First reaction was a shock and stopped en looked at the bike.
Nothing to see and i looked at my pipes and i was thinking: "Can it be the exhaust?".

Got on the Duc and started driving again.

Again 6500 RPM let go of my gas and looked at the pipes.

BOOM BOOM BOOM and flames with the length of +- 20 cm.



I got a smile from ear to ear!

I love my exhaust!!

Today it was done.


I looked at my Monster and didnt liked it.

Got my tools and this is the result

Nice mods! I really like the bike, looks alot like mine. I think im going to powdercoat my footpeg assemblies black or flatblack.

Also, where did you get your carbon excessories, and the QD exhaust?

if you are in the US, check with motowheels for the QD exhaust - that's where i got mine

I live in Holland.
I got them trough my Ducati dealer.
