It doesn't look like a usb.  they say it will work?

the device is a USB the plug connects to a device via a different plug.

If it's the one that is attached to the tool kit, it's not a battery charger.

My 2010 Monster has the DDA connector and a connector for this thing under the seat (my April '08 696 does not have the extra, just the DDA).  But my '10 also already has a battery tender connection on it; but perhaps the dealership installed it.

Sheldon,

The part number is 96739010A, with an MSRP of $128.60.

Regards,

and they are ordered!

but they are backordered so maybe the end of next week in stock

sweet--did the price hold true?

@13o was the word. close enough for me. the wife will like the seating better this way. she was always unaware there the back of the seat was. these should help orientate her.

I ordered from Ducati Seattle, they are always easy to work with.

Dave R, do I get a discount for the plug

I agree, this will make two up much nicer and I like riding with her a lot.  I will order mine soon (if not today).  Where did you get yours?  A sponsor      You can PM me..... 

Raux,

check my other thread with pics of my under seat plug......

What I have heard is that the newer ones come with the leads setup, because the optional ABS systems drain batteries pretty quick compared to the standards, so thye do better when charged more often

Back to the rails...

I just showed them to the wife... she doesn't like the idea of holding on to something under/behind her... is this a matter of preference or is there a method for 2-up riding that makes this kind of thing work well?

My wife prefers to hold on to the FZ6 grab rails more than she prefers to hold on to me. 
I do have a Givi trunk on the FZ6 which is another form of security for her. But, the optional grab handles on the Monsters look to be similar to the FZ6 and in practice are more comfortable than me being held by my wife

grab rails work very well for EASY two up riding.  They provide a solid base for holding on, and more importantly allow the passenger to maintain/distribute weight better than holding you. (By this I mean, when you hit the brakes, they don't destroy your jewels by slamming into you, slamming you into the tank). She may not like the idea, but she'll be much easier to ride with if she got used to it.

The 1100 isn't really well tailored for a passenger to be honest...it's ok, but not the strong point comfort wise.
