Title: M696/ M1100 gas cap swap
Post by: pitbull03 on August 19, 2009, 08:20:48 PM
I'm looking to swap out the OEM gas cap filler for an aftermarket cap but am lost as to how to remove the existing OEM cap.  I've done this on other ducati models, but the new monster designs don't have the external hex bolts.  Has anyone done this yet?
