I'd welcome any ideas on trimming my M2's rear end. Fast Company (http://www.dragginjeans.com/) used to make a nice cafe tail, but when I called they said that they no longer make them and had no old stock. Airtech (http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/index.html) recommends their Bates Model 1 as a *start* for cusotmization. Hillbilly Motors makes a cafe seat (http://www.hillbilly-motors.com/html/m2_orange.html) which may now be available through Crossroads, but I couldn't get any details.

And you need to cut the rear frame section to make the nice RRC tail fit. The Casuno tail is a bolt-on ; so with that option, you can still get back to your stock M2 tail whenever you want.

There was a member here (I can't remember his name) out of San Francisco that grafted an R6 tail to his M2. It looked great but it needed a custom subframe welded on - no way back on that one. Still, it looked bitchen.
