Morning All

I have joined the ranks and have bought myself an S4Rs. Hasnt arrived yet, but hoping up and down for my first, first hand look. Took a gamble and bought her over the phone from ducati aylesbury.

Myself, i stay up in Edinburgh and currently ride a kawasai ZX6R G2 (which is now for sale...)

Now could i ask a couple of questions.

Im planning on chopping the tail and i saw the ad banner here for the tail chop site. I really like their stealth chop system but suspect the UK police may not take kindly to it. Has anyone had any experience with this kit?

Also looking for a Ex-Box system. Are there any Uk suppliers or know of any supplier? I can only find a guy on Ebay. With the Ex-Box should i get the bike dyno'd and set up?

Well cheers for now and may see you on the road

Could well be my old one.
Just got myself an EVO in Black.

You will get a wet back with a tail chop

You do get a bit of extra spray with a tail chop. It's a matter of individual taste but I think it makes them look massively more compact.

It's not really changing anything that the plod would be interested in just angles the plate a little more which is all they would probably be interested in.

Hi and welcome

I'm in the 'tail chop looks better' club too. Ok, if you ride in the rain you may get a bit of back spray but hey, it's raining and you are on a bike! You are getting wet whatever.

I'm not sure about the location of the plate in your link

That might be a little too much of an extreme angle but you never know until you try. Does look good. I think the integrated rear light and indicators are a no no though.

I've had both. I think the tail chop looks great with low cans, and with high, short cans. But with longer high cans the bike can look like a wheelbarrow.

You get a lot more spray with a chop. The hugger and plate do nothing in the wet and you will end up with a stripe up your back or a very wet/dirty bottom of a rucksack.

I now use the Tea Tray and I have to say I really like it.

Integrated Indicators, especially the ones where half the brake light flashes are a no-no. A definite MOT fail and you may be stopped by the plod.

I went with some Rizoma Areo-11 indicators from Spareshack (sadly now closed) on both bikes.
