I asked myself the same question for a year, once chopped you'll wonder why you ever questioned it.

chop. But do it tastefully and right. Research before you commit so you know how to paint or finish off the bare metal. They do look better shortened up but how you do it and the craftsmanship is possibly even more important.
My 2 pesos.

I had mine 2 years before I decided to chop the tail. Really can't tell you to or not too. I will say this however, now that I have shortened the exhaust, the tail chop looks awesome.

Pretty sure the baron has the technology to paint the job. Perhaps he lacks he ambition though. |

chop it. It took me 15 minutes after I got it home to do it and I have no regrets.

Do what you want. There are enough pics on here with chopped tails for you to know if you'll like it or not. For me? Only way to go is the chop.
