Who makes the best quality tail chop kit?

Yes, you can use your stock turn signals with the cookie chop. The kit has all you need and is readily available on monsterparts.com for $100.

Also, the hacksaw is your simplest and cheapest option (IMHO). I guess you could get a cutting disk for your drill, similar to the dremel method, but I wouldn't suggest it.

Great, thanks.

I love Competition Werks kit. it's clean, simple, and includes mount holes for blinkers. It essentially turns your license plate into a fender! lol

I second the Competition Werkes kit. I used that with the Clear Alternatives integrated tail light. The kit does come with a bracket for rear blinkers though. Also, you can buy a pipe cutter like plumbers and electricians use at any hardware store. You get a clean, even cut.

Hows it going guys...Ive just been floating around gathering info but I figured I may as well post.

I broke down and finally decided to do the tailchop over the weekend...I enjoy fabricating and customizing so I opted to make my own bracket. I must say I am happy that I didnt pay $90+ for the kit but I dont think I would make one for someone if they were willing to pay me $150 haha. I used an old Bus Stop sign me and my buddy found on the road last year....cutting cutting drilling drilling bending and I am happy with the final result.

Anyone wanting to attempt this on their own I encourage it as long as you have the patience to make sure all your measurements are exact or else you can easily end up missing a detail or making it look sloppy and uncentered. I made frame plugs out of some old bushings and rubber covers I had from various car projects. I am 100% more satisfied with the way my bike looks now, we will see how long it holds together hah but I definitely say anyone thinking about it who is maybe weary about cutting the frame...go for it.

I used the Competition Werkes tail chop kit and it looks great. I got it at MonsterParts.com. I also installed the Clear Alternatives integrated tail light which works but is a little cheesy.

I did mine last winter along with a load of other mods...all custom. My buddy and I did it all.
