So i have been looking into the whole tail chop thing.  I think it looks really cool and especially like the Competition Werkes kit.  I have come across some findings of it not fitting the 2008 M695, and that is what i have.
I have the DP gel seat and plan to put MOTRAX Micro Oval Turn Signals on as well. 

So will this CW kit work for me or am I staying on this fence?

Thanks in advance.

it fit on my old 620...........and i dont think there was any change to the frame when the 695 came out.
so unless comp. works changed their design (possible i suppose) it should fit just fine.

Tail chop looks a MILLION times better!!!!! I have a '08 M695 and I used the Competition Werkes kit on mine. Fit perfect. Everything is very very easy plug and play. Go to Indysuperbike.com    I dont think they list the kit on their site but can get it with no problem.

I sat on the fence for about 6 months after getting my Kit, but now it is done, I am happy with the result, The only downside, and it's a minor one, when riding in the rain, I get more dirt and grime flicked up on the back of the bike and on me, but, that's my only issue, but It's only a minor problem in the overall scheme of things.

Looks much better.  waytogo

PS: I have posted a How To: Tail chop,  in the Tutorials section, have a look, does not take long and is quite easy to do.

I you or a buddy has the tools, skip the kit and fab your own brackets.  Save the $100 for something else.

+2 for Jeff @ Monsterparts.com.  Great service and Comp Werkes kit is awesome!!!

Pompetta's homemade chop has held up nicely for a number of years too!!!

Either way, chop it waytogo

don't do it,

keep it stock, the tail chop is really overated, i don't think it keeps the lines clean, always looks like something is missing.

I am a chopped fan, had my kit for a few weeks before I took the plunge one morning.
Just about to swap to a newer Monster and it will get chopped as well.
