Hi,
Is there anyone who has installed a SportsClassic front light on a M696, M796 or M1100? I thought on changing the headlight of my M796 for a round unit, classic looking and such a Monster characteristic. And of course, if you are to remove the front headlight looking for a classic touch you better change the race gauges on the M796 for a classic analog one.
Has anyone done that? Is it doable?
I'll head to my local dealer and bug them with it. I'll post if I find something useful.

bump [popcorn] wondering the same thing. i hate the digital dash -- would much rather have analog gauges

is that impossible?
A little info I found on another forum was that because the Monster and the Sports Classic have different ECU's then swapping the speedo's/gauges if not doable.
My limited mechanic skills can't support or refuse the argument, so I just pass it over, maybe someone can tell us why :)
Concerning the headlamp I see no reason why it wouldn't work with the right supporting hardware.

I did some research I found a very nice example:

As well as a french guy who has done a pretty nice job with the front light:

And then he got carried away with a wave of classic creativity and went like this:

Pretty good job right?
I guess he found the inspiration from this guy who as far as I can find, only did a photshop work, a very interesting one nevertheless:

And since I am all into Sports Classics, a very nice seat unit, as well from France, but without reference:

Now, it would be nice to put all those together and get a Sports Classic looking Monster 696/796/1100!
