Title: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on March 20, 2011, 12:42:02 AM Got the ducati monster tail chop kit with the stealth plate bracket. After almost 30 minutes with the dullest hack saw I have ever seen and then about 15 actually assembling everything it was done. Also have the motodynamic integrated smoked brake light. Hopefully it looks as good to everyone else as it does to me [bow_down]

Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on March 20, 2011, 01:05:31 AM I say it's worth a try, and if worst comes to worst..I'll move it up...but I love it way down there it just completes the whole clean look...
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: TeenRider on March 20, 2011, 02:39:53 AM damn that looks sexy [drool]
does the plate flip? or is that the fixed position? Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on March 20, 2011, 07:55:22 AM Fixed, but the bracket has some bend so the plate can be more flush to the mud guard or vertical.
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: rcmcfly on March 20, 2011, 06:15:51 PM I almost bought that same tail light or the Clear Alternatives but I went with this instead;
http://www.t-motorsports.com/product/ducati-monster-m-400-600-900-s2-s4-smoke-led-tail-light-lt-mt194-smoke/ (http://www.t-motorsports.com/product/ducati-monster-m-400-600-900-s2-s4-smoke-led-tail-light-lt-mt194-smoke/) way cheaper...I really gotta wonder if its the exact same made in China part. Its on the way right now so we shall see I spose Does yours have a clear lens underneath for illuminating the plate?

Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: rcmcfly on March 20, 2011, 07:08:39 PM I'm guessing: http://www.ducatimonstertailchop.com/stealth-monster-plate-relocator/ (http://www.ducatimonstertailchop.com/stealth-monster-plate-relocator/)
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on March 20, 2011, 08:01:01 PM Ya it was the stealth kit from www.ducatimonstertailchop.com (http://)
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on March 20, 2011, 08:15:12 PM So I took the license plate light off the beer tray and then attached it to the bracket that came with the kit. So the light is still there.
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: TeenRider on March 21, 2011, 03:30:34 AM can photo radar (speed traps) see the plate?
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: WetDuc on March 21, 2011, 03:51:02 AM Sure do like the pricing on those new kits. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: rcmcfly on March 21, 2011, 06:29:33 AM I got my powder coated short bracket from them recently and I can attest that its a quality product, instructions are excellent, and shipping was quick. The only thing I'm not particularly thrilled with are the frame plugs, they're kinda cheesy, I used the end caps from a set of handle bars instead. Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: rcmcfly on March 21, 2011, 06:31:02 AM can photo radar (speed traps) see the plate? Thats a really good question, care to blast through an EZ pass toll lane and let us know if you get a ticket in the mail? Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: take risks on July 31, 2011, 07:54:58 PM Thanks for letting my spy your handiwork.
Here is my ghetto 5 dollar bracket. The tail light is from T-Motorsports on ebay. $35 shipped. recommended My bracket (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5996281661_3a42cf4510_m.jpg) Connected and Heat Shrink (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6132/5996837210_7ce325b9fc_m.jpg) Bright (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6020/5996837324_476267ed3a_m.jpg) Blinker on. That is bright too. (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6126/5996281847_81d48232b7_m.jpg) I think it looks best flush with the seat. I flushed it up after the pic.

Very happy [drink] Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on August 01, 2011, 12:52:35 PM Damn that looks good man. And no problem it's awesome you fabricated the bracket for only that.. I should of taken some time to do that.
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: take risks on August 01, 2011, 03:12:45 PM yeah stoked.
thanks again. let me know if you want to hit some twisties. Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: DuctheMonster on August 02, 2011, 07:10:22 AM Ok I just noticed this now, what did you use for plugs after you cut the frame? It looks like you stuck some ammo casings in there whatever it is it looks sick haha
Title: Re: Tail Chop Before and After Post by: take risks on August 02, 2011, 11:42:29 AM spent 20 gauge shotgun shells.

Not really a tail chop. Slim carbon fiber tail piece from Monster Parts with Rizoma blinkers. |
