Title: Finally installed the tail chop this past weekend Post by: jrswanson1 on September 10, 2012, 02:45:55 AM My right side rear tail light fell off because the section of the fender that holds it on broke. So I got the go ahead from the wife to get the tail chop. I got this one http://www.ducatimonstertailchop.com/monster-fender-eliminator-m696-m796-m1100/ (http://www.ducatimonstertailchop.com/monster-fender-eliminator-m696-m796-m1100/) and managed to install it after I made a trip to the hardware store to get a hack saw. I thought I lost my original hack saw, but I found it after I got done cutting [bang] [laugh] I finished up about 2:00 Saturday afternoon. I checked the turn signals and brakes, [thumbsup] Then I tried the seat lock [thumbsdown] I think I missed something, I can barely get the key in, as the frame is partially blocking access. At this point, I stuck the seat back on, put the cover on, and watched as the heavens opened up and rain came pouring down.
Sunday afternoon, I got on and did a spin around town, got some gas, and headed home. Everything is still on good and snug. I rode her into work this morning, everything is still there. Not as bad a job as I thought it was going to be. The only other complaint I have with the kit is the pictures in the instructions could have been bigger. ETA: The license plate lighting is MUCH better than stock. The little LEDs really light things up.
