[moto] Some old, some new. But here are some pictures that show the transformation of my 696 dark in the 2 months I have had her.

looks good [thumbsup]
That's looking SLICK!
Love it without the bunny ears... How do the termis sound on the 696?

the debaffled termis sound dirty. I sometimes feel bad when I crank her up in the AM... I leave for work kinda early
I stick in the baffles without the screws as they are a tight fit and warm the bike up with them in then pull them out when I'm down the road when I work at 6 in the morning.
Looks sweet with the Termis! Transforming nicely!

+1 on the Bunny ears, that thing looks mean as all hell.

Yeah.. looks so much better. Need to check on motorcycle laws here in NC to make sure not having mirrors doesn't violate some statute
Did you buy the stock plastic cover for the back of the instrument cluster when you took the fairing off or is that carbon?
Congrats! Nice ride

Got it for free from the dealer along with the numerous phone book size Ducati bibles that the bike comes with
very sharp! would love to see it with ceramic headers, powder coated rearsets and exhaust heat shield!!
...pretty nice! has anyone performed a til chop on one of these?....it lloks to me as if it would be quite short and really cool :)

I think the next mod is goign to be the rearsets. The exhaust heat shield right now is just painted.. so lets see how long that takes to chip off.

Been waiting on the tail chop kit. They are supposed to release it sometime soon. So I should have it within a week or so of release. If they don't release it soon, I might just do it myself (only thing holding me back is that the turn signals are molded right into the plastic hot dog tray that is the tail).
...you wouldnt want to keep those anyways :) get smaller aftermarket ones...have to find a place to hng them from :-\
i noticed you said that you are in NC. I just picked up a white M696 from ducati charlotte about 3 weeks ago.
it would be awesome to meet up with you sometime if you are interested.

if you are talking about the heat shield, i agree. the aftermarket CF ones are kinda nice. think i might put in an order soon.

+1.. they are sick. I used to live in charlotte so I still have a bunch of friends there. Trip is over due. Will let you know if Im in town soon.
i cant decide if i should get the CF ones, or save a dime and get the stainless ones. mine is a white model so im not really all that sure i am going to go the CF route with all the accessories. ???
