Till now there was only that tail chop from ducati accessories catalogue but now I found this one

http://www.barracudamoto.it/DettaglioProdotto.aspx?IDP=1108&CAT=62

It looks ok and has white LED light for less price than ducati one

The problem is with turn light which are lower in comparison to stock/ducati tail chop.
Another issue is that LED light which may be uglier than stock but maybe I will not be able to change it (it looks smaller)

What would you do? This one or one from catalogue?

P.S. how is tham moto wheel project going (interested in tal chop - imagine)  Grin

I like their mirrors and tail kit, but i dont like that you can't use the stock signal lights. so i'm gonna get the DP version. but the mirros i will check out. i'm going to italy for a visit maybe this fall and will go the factory if i can.

where does it say that you can't use stock lights?  other than the tail light (which is integrated and clear which i think is cool) but it seems to me that the turn signals are bolt on. and no reason they couldn't be the stock.

I agree, the only thing weird about it is the size of your plate, the italian one looks almost square. I do like the belly pan idea though, different. makes the bike look unique. hmmm

Competition Werkes one is perfect.  Once they come out with an brake light with integrated turn signals for the 696( December I think I read), you can still use the CW tail chop and move the license plate further under your seat. 

I would be curious how hard it would be to order from Barracuda?  I kinda dig the windscreen and belly pan.

ok put it on, but it isn't the best as far as fitting the bike (i mean i'm being realllll picky though) and the instruction in my mind are backwards.
the sides don't like up with the bike sides, i'm afraid the sharp edges might cut the seat riding 2 up. i'll take a closer look in the morning.
also, as i put it together and starting assemblying, trying to figure out where to run wires, i realized it would be easier to put it 75% together off the bike with wires on and then slide the whole unit in place. working the 3 pieces separately onto the bike and figuring the wiring sucked.

maybe CW will rework the part, fabricate it a different way so it's only 2 parts. like the light mount with the undertail a single piece and the tag holder separate. just would be easier. also i wish they would have rolled the top edges of the light mount to avoid the top sharp edge and corners.

so, if you are getting this, i suggest getting the wires run through the three pieces, don't stick on the tag light (just leave it hanging til done), have a friend hold it up to the bike, run the wires onto the bike, screw the bolt closer to the front then work your way back.

after i check it for clearance on the seat, i may have the edges worked  or put some rubber on the edges to protect the seat, of course after getting it powder coated black.
