Title: new grab handles for 796 do not fit 696 Post by: Raux on July 25, 2010, 07:50:15 AM Can you take a magnet and check to see if your rear subframe halves are steel or aluminum.
also, can you take a picture of the back of the bike with the seat off? thank you. that is all ;) Title: Re: Calling new 796 owners.... need you to check something Post by: libertarian on July 27, 2010, 03:35:52 PM Aluminum. I can try to get a pic later, but it looks almost exactly like an 1100... Something specific you're looking for?
Title: Re: Calling new 796 owners.... need you to check something Post by: Raux on July 27, 2010, 07:08:18 PM i'm looking for any differences between the two specifically looking where and how the grab handles mount. ie are there new screw holes/location/bracing.
Title: Re: Calling new 796 owners.... need you to check something Post by: Raux on July 30, 2010, 10:38:30 AM ok grab handles arrived. 796 is different than 696.
there is a new mounting point at the very end of the 796 subframes that is NOT on the 696. [bang] Title: Re: new grab handles for 796 do not fit 696 Post by: libertarian on July 30, 2010, 11:01:49 AM ..And I was literally coming back from the parking lot to post a picture for you. Sorry about that. It's probably more like the 1100 than the 696, most of the rest of the back end is.

I need to see the underside of the back of the subframe. basically the end of the aluminum castings.
trying to figure out how many holes are on the underside of those castings Title: Re: new grab handles for 796 do not fit 696 Post by: libertarian on July 30, 2010, 08:06:03 PM I'll see what i can do in the morning, but most of that area is covered by the tail (or in my case, the tail chop)
Title: Re: new grab handles for 796 do not fit 696 Post by: Raux on July 30, 2010, 08:16:16 PM great thanks.
specifically I'm looking for a photo of what is on the underside of this (http://img13.werkenntwen.de/photo12/3957d9fd7e269007127fc6bf596b78f6/4/f/4f6nfl72uzvwjlz32ml8gpf7a2d.jpg) Title: Re: new grab handles for 796 do not fit 696 Post by: Randy@StradaFab on July 31, 2010, 05:28:03 AM Part numbers for the 696 and 1100 frames are the same, so they must have done something different with the 796 if the grab handles don't mount the same.

Title: Re: new grab handles for 796 do not fit 696 Post by: libertarian on August 02, 2010, 12:55:40 PM here's the underside - in this picture, the left blinker is at the top of the frame. Hope this helps.
