Hey there guys

Been a member for sometime now, but havent gotten around to posting anything.

Ive been restoring a Ducati monster 600. I finally finished last month and decided after a couple rides that I need to do the tail chop.

Did the tail chop but have always felt that it looked a bit unfinished so I did mine slightly differently. I havent seen it done the way I did before so it might be the first of its kind.

Its pretty much stock except for the , mirrors, indicators, exhaust cut 4inches shorter and 1/2 core, K&N filter, carb rejetting and tail chop.

Hope you guys like it. More pics to follow.

Before the tail-chop and exhaust mod

Thanks man.

The brackets I made up for the rear indicators came back from powder coating, so I put those on last night.

If I get a chance to this weekend, I will take some proper photos for the forum.


Have a great weekend everyone.
