Termignoni chop

[toudg]

Hi guys this my before/after termignoni tail chop + termis chop witha  Competition Werkes kit.  I've removed 4 inches off, with a chop saw.  More to come !  I'm restriping matte black + rims.

 Cheers

Sweeeet! Love those shortie Termis! Probably doesn't sound very good either. Looks like a very nice job. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done and buy yourself several beers.

Looks about 300x better! Nice work on cutting the carbon.

Thanks ! I really need to do something to that ugly lower clamp.  I'll probably lower the front light too ...

That sir is a very hansom and manly motorcycle you have there
Now you have done that you can go and clean up your yard

Ahahaha I was afraid someone would notice.  I've bought a very old house and I'm pretty much destroying the interior =).   And before someone makes a comment about the hole in my bumper, yes, it was my wife.

Your bike looks great, but personally I don't have a prob with the stock look.

With a little gentle persuasion you can get to cans to seat fully down into the exhaust pipes too.  Those are barely into the pipes.

  Looks great.  I'm planing on doing a similar chop in a few weeks.  Those shots give me even more confidence in the look.

Pictures dont do a real justice, the bike really feels shorter and meaner.  A tad louder but nothing drastic.  Not really hard to do, took me about an hour and a half.  Measure the pipes on the bike, take off boths cans.  I've popped the rivet out with a drill, removed caps, chop saw at 4 inches with a metal/carbide blade, realign caps, drill holes, rivets, bingo.  Remember to wear a mask or something, carbon is nasty as hell.  Here's some other shot/different cut :

NICE!!!!
kind of looks like a Manta ray from behind
sort of dark and menacing in a good/ evil way

[DucatiTorrey]

matte black looks great. I have a question though, i have a dark, and have had trouble cleaning it, since you cant wax it, and most car wash soaps have detergent and waxes in them, what are you going to use?

[toudg]

I use Hertel "all-purpose" Bio cleaner (not sure if its sold in the US).  There no wax in it.  It works perfectly.

[DucatiTorrey]

great thank you    i'll look for it
