DON'T DO IT

echo that comment!

nowhere to put your ciggys & hot chocky if you do:o

Otherwise lots of helpful advice (try a search, as Lots & lots of threads & posts about this), on the ukmonster site

Its the one thing that really divides the monster owners - to chop or not.....

C:)

Defo UKMOC site for that. Kits for number plates available at spareshack.Costs u money to lose something that really should be there in rain etc.

Nah, doesn't need to cost you money! Both of mine (yes, I've had two) cost me a roast dinner. Bargain!

As for the rain, well you're going to get wet anyway....:roll:

Saz

Go on then, tell me more!
I know that Alf's do a shorter t-tray in carbon fibre, but that's about it.
'not checked out the UKM site yet.
Could always chew over at this Sunday's meeting, if youre going to be there.
We're only in Shoreham anyway.

Cheers

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Gaz !!

Bang one of these on..transforms the look of the arse !!

As you can see..it was the first thing to go on mine before I even rode the bugger !! :lol:

Nat

Annuver..

What about the £100.00 rear light with built in indicators??

Carbon rear end looks good Nat, might go down that route.

Albie, what's this rear light / indicator unit all about, does it mean you can get rid of the t-tray completely?

I've not heard about this one.

Cheers guys.

I'm a member of the "less is more" club of tail choppers in UKMOC, and as Albie said there's plenty of ways to get the short arsed look without resorting to burning loadsa cash. I think my own cost about a £30, including materials & the set of 4 mini indicators I needed.

There is a downside to the lack of tea tray though :sniff:

Sazza got hers from Spareshack I believe. Indicators Led too are in tail light. Looks neat tho. Got myself a carbon T Tray yesterday and looks pukka with Motrax led tail light. Best of both worlds IMO carbon is nice and tray practical. Each to their own. :D

Jmo moves in for the kill
 

Ah Ha! the phantom hacker of Sussex has tracked down a tail ripe for the chopping :D

Unless you stay in Utah don't bother chopping it

Thanks guys, nice pictures.

'think we will probably go down the carbon fibre route, possibly with the LED rear light/indicator unit - very nice and functional too.

Albie, what's this then, Wedgewood or Denby I wonder?


I've seen rubber chickens and furry animals before, but cheese on toast is a new one on me:lol:

Berto, your S4 photo in the photo section looks the biz, i think that finally tipped the scales.

Ally Pally here we come!! (on Saturday if anyone else is.)

:D

Cheers Gaz

ps. Jmo, you don't work at Alf's do you?

Noooooooooo - what makes you say that?

I have my own little carpeted premises further along the coast...

Just thought you might, as Alf's is the only bikeshop that i know sells Ducati bits and bobs.

Gaz

Ah - I think you're confusing me with Natty-boy - I'm not in the business of flogging stuff, only making Monsters beautiful... x

The only Ducati bits you need are the ones already on your bike - a fivers worth of bolts and bungs, and whatever little indicators you fancy - personally I'd go for something like Motrax Tinycators or the all in one light unit like Sazza-J has...

If you're still thinking about it, pop along to the Sussex DSC meet at Findon one month (this coming Sunday infact), and you'll see what I mean...

Jmo
 

will you be offering your services to me again this year?
I'll try to keep the bike a little longer than 24hrs with a chop i promise.

To all the UKMOC people posting here :-

What on earth has happened to the UKMOC site recently ? It used to be an interesting site but seems of late to have been virtually taken over by a number of people on some sort of hallucinogenic drugs.

What's happening ?

Beancounter
 

Christ, don't go down that road.:rolleye:

I got the e-mail from Terry but haven't been on the ukmoc for ages ... whassup?

not elitist enough! ooooppppsss there i go again.;)

i guess everyone is looking at the great family we have here and want to be a part of it.

Tony - seems like one looney decided to register 4 'alias's (at least) - who all had 'conversations' with each other:rolleye: and also hurl the odd insult at others in passing too.

Also said person hi-jacked almost each & every thread with complete drivel from himself or one of his alias's, along with another member. (can anyone do over 50 posts in a day????? - not even Weeksy could!!)

Unfortunately this person has never met one person from the club who could possibly help him out of the hole he denies he has dug.

Came to a head last night, hence the email.

Makes here look like the upper school common room eh?:lol:

CK:)

people on here can do 50 posts a day easily on occasions i recon. but anyway its a shame when one person spoils it for all the others hope they get it sorted.

not being one to give a dog a bad name. but one person soooooooooo springs to mind here:eureka:

Banshee

I just read the 'Members who are not real' thread

Now I understand !

Blimey, 'good thing we didn't ask about anything too contentious:rolleye:

Hmm . Some interesting comments came out of it. Anyway back to the subject .What was it by the way. Oh tail chops:smug: Maybe mine soon. Quick play on photo shop eh!!!:lol:

Oh my gord !!!!!

Bansh - you ditch those huge great eggs and fit either Motorax Tinycators to brackets behind the rear lamp (out of the way), or get one of those rear LED lamps that Sazza-J has, with the built in rear indicators...

It's your choice babe x
