    One of the South African guys just cut the rear mudguard on the rear channel below the number plate.
    He wasn't happy - and neither was his wife when her back was suddenly covered in dust - and rain and mud.
    I think he bought another mudguard and put it back to standard.
    I'd like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.
    The appropriate number of cylinders for any motorcycle is two.

    @precis , iam not talking about cutting the tail , but removing it from it s bolt under the tail light .

    The problem with dust and water maybe can be solved with a rear hagger .
    Another problem is what to do the licence plate and the turn lights ....

    But my opinion is that capo without the tail will be beautiful !!

    I did indeed! A nice white tornado from Donnycarney (she will insist Killester but we know the house numbers, eh?). Feck I'm lucky my house gets cleaned up one side and down the other on a regular basis!

    Meantime I do not mind the tail at all. I think it looks just fine.

    Cheers!

    So you want a tail tidy? I doubt there's a specific one for the Capo, but it should be easy enough to fab one up, or get a universal one
