There are some websites that say the Competition Werkes tail chop fits the 696 and 1100, this is NOT true. The tail chop will not work on the M1100 because of the exhaust back-pressure solenoid valve. The tail chop relocates the lock to the mounting location of the solenoid. This was just a hole in the seat frame on the 696. I tore my tail apart and had to put it back together once I discovered this yesterday afternoon. Hopefully this saves someone else the time and frustration.

what better excuse to buy the whole termi system minus the exhaust valve [thumbsup]
the exhaust valve with servo stays in place with the termi's. The tailchop kit from DP fits no problem

Does the valve with servo exist with the full termis?
Amcloud: Thanks again. Your post saved me some headaches.

doesn't look like the FUll Termi system has the exhaust valve.
i wish i saw this post 30 min ago before i had my whole rear end ripped apart... damn you comp werkes. i had my parts fking powder coated too!
ps: anyone know what that damn back pressure valve is for? apparently all it does is get in the way and rob power if the full termi system doesnt have it....
sorry that im pissed. it rained the whole month of june and its finally sunny and my bike is in pieces...
The R&G one on my 696 also didn't relocate the lock. It was cheaper than the DP unit, too. You just can't put the plate as far under the tail. The R&G doesn't obscure your turn signal from directly behind, tho.
Put the Comp Werkes up in the Parts for Sale section, there are plenty of 696 owners on here. More every day. Someone will buy it.

the valve is an emissions thing i am pretty certain. and yes you can get the WHOLE termi pipe kit to get it out. i wouldn't be certain the R&G Tidy tail works for the 1100 either. i would wait til they say they are for it. i'm fairly certain the stock tails are different so there will be fitment issues.
I installed a CW tsil chop on my 1100 and have communicated with Ducaticop about it. I don't recall any issues with the solenoid. Tomorrow I'm going to take mine apart and see if I can figure what is different on mine.
UPDATE;
I think I see the problem. I didn't run into this because I bought mine directly from CW. Some people are being sold a kit that is intended for the 696 for use on the 1100. CW sells one specifically for the 1100

The 1100 kit relocates the lock to the rear of the solenoid.
The included directions should have "09 Ducati Monster 1100" across the top of the page.
What color did you powder coat it Cop? I'd be interested in buying one of these if the price is right ;)

R&G makes one specifically for the 1100 - I have it installed. Reasonably simple install once you figure out the best way to route the cable for the seat lock. If your supplier isn't specific just order it direct from R&G.

Actually the exhaust valve is for decible reduction to pass the DBA ratings for US and Europe.
It serves no other purpose other than that.
i have the CW kit for the m1100. there was a glitch in the install -- they messed up in packing the included parts. i received 2 left side tail light brackets. very annoying to find that at the very end of a long install. CW sent me a replacement bracket fairly quickly (2 day wait).

Mine was missing a part too...
VERY FRUSTRATING!
So I talked with a manager at CW. After some pleading he agreed to sell me just the parts I needed to install the chop on my m1100... or so i thought... I had the parts express shipped for $25 and low and behold the damn thing still doesnt fit. Im very disapointed with the company and am not impressed at all with the quality of the kit.
Anyone have a link to the R&G kit? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I will most likely be selling the complete powdercoated 696 kit and bringing my business to another company from now on.
ps the bike has been apart for 2 weeks now and Im more than agitated >:(
An alternative is EVOTECH and Ive just got one for M1100. Very good value and cheaper than R&G too. Good quality.

they dont list it on their website, but i saw an add for a new tail kit in a magazine add for
www.tamburinimoto.it (//http://) (//http://) (//http://)
i also saw one at the ducati venice store in italy. it was near the lightech products, so maybe they make it.
edit: yes it was a lightech. for sure the lightech.it website lists the 696 but i pretty certain the one i saw was for the 1100.
here's the 696... comes with a clear taillight also!

Sorry to read you are still getting the run around. The quality of the CW kit is pretty weak. I just found my license plate light dangling by the wire cause the
double stick tape gave out.
As an LEO I'm sure you know that this gives the guys with the spinning lights a good reason to stop someone...at least here in Hawaii.
So I'll be ordering a plate light from somewhere, paying some shipping, & getting rid of the junky one CW sent.
I wish I'd known about the evotech set-up when I bought my eliminator.
give em zippys and theyll leave you alone
