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! waytogo

Chopped mine 12 months ago no issues
wet riding pillion cops it a bit thats good for the driver Grin
I have been pulled over by the  N.S.W. Police 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 .
