Cheers all around, my GF just got a 09 696, I'm elected to help with the mods & such but the last Duc I owned was a 250 single that I was trying to build for flat track racing that was around 1974 never did get it running right. (yeah I'm old) Anyway there seems to be some good bike knoweldge  here so I'll throw in my 2 cents in once in awhile & mine the site for all the 696 bits I can.  

I just read the mods request, so currently I own an 03 Aprilia Tuono, 04 BMW 1150 GSA, 08 450 YZf, 73 Honda 90 just sold 06 GXSR 750 track bike & a 06 GasGas 250EC. I've been riding bikes pretty much all my life & I'm turning 52 this year (ouch !)
Thanks

Welcome Link, nice to have you here.

Sounds like a fun collection.   We love bike pictures, so if you have any to share (of any of them) please post up.

Your girlfriend is welcome here too, we have a Women's Forum if she's interested.

Quite a collection!

We've got good and active tech and mods sections that should be a help if you get stuck during any of your elected duties
