My favourite late model Monster. Really captures the classic feel in a modern package.
Nice bike! The whole package really works well. question: Are those the stock upper triples, risers, and bars? Powder coated?
Now THAT is one damned fine example of a current generation Monster!!!
Well done SIR!!! [thumbsup] [clap]
Where's the list of mods?
You can't just post pictures with no list [leo]
[thumbsup]
very nicely done.
Really a good looking bike you have there and totally in the same situation as you. CANT WAIT FOR THE WINTER TO BE OVER!! [bang]

thx mate; the triple tree is from CNC Racing in Italy
That is a great looking motorcycle! Very nice work. Could be the best looking Monster I've seen.

:) list is too long and I am too lazy ... Let me know if you're interested in something particular.
best new era monster i've seen yet. throw a ram mag swingarm on it next and some monoblocs, and i will drop by shortly to steal it.
definitely the best 1100 Monster I've seen. Very nice photos , too. What rear suspension is that?
a m is right - get some monoblocks. Ask KTM for the RC8R black ones. Got them on my 696 (will post pictures later) That would make it Best 1100 Ever
very well done. It just looks right! [thumbsup]
Good quality pictures too!! [beer]

Damn dude. Without a doubt the best new gen monster I've seen.

Absolutely love the look. The new monster has really grown on me. Well done!

The reservoir and multi-hole preloadadjuster make me guess Penske.
While the "big things" like the exhaust, rearsets, triples, suspension etc really make this bike, I appreciate some of the details. Specifically the painted headlight and ano or however color changed the forks.
Which oil cooler is that? And which pipe is that? Looks like the company that makes hyper parts (name escapes me) and sold through Motovation.
Makes me kinda want to go get an m1100 to fiddle with. A dry clutch one without new fangled abs though. Too much on the plate currently though.

yup, spot on, its a Penske. Was the 1st one Mike did build for a Monster 696/1100. Love the thing.
Headlight and forks are anodized. Headlight was a bit of an accident, but by now I like it being anthracite instead of black.
Oil cooler is OEM. Actually the next thing I want to change.
Exhaust is from SC-project in Italy.
sweet. oil cooler through me because of the shrouds missing - hard to recognize. (a very tasteful subtraction, as it were)

that sounds VERY interesting. Yes please, do post some pics of your 696!
this is what they would look like:

those are from the 1098/1198/SF? they not black. (but work just as good!)

those are sweet. don't get me tempted man. wanted to focus a bit on BHP for now ...
do hc pistons and cams, and correct mapping and call it a day.

easy, I am not that sophisticated. Just got a new mapping last week for the 2-1 [thx to rexxer the ignition verhexer].
together with the 41t rear sprocket that changed the bike quite a bit, not to the worse I might add ;D
next step is to throw out the ugly airbox and re-adjust the mapping - should squeeze out some more fun
Are you looking to install velocity stacks with pod filters?
I would be interested to see a dyno comparison of the various v-stacks out there. I can quickly think of three:
TPO Beast
DucShop
WaspWorks
I'm certain there are others, but not off the top of my head.

that's indeed the idea - currently waiting to see what Allan from TPO will come up with
So here's mine with black monoblocks

sweet! did you change the pumps as well?
if you have an M1100, you really need not change your pumps unless you are going to something much higher end (billet masters, such as Brembo Racing, Discacciati, ISR, Accossato, etc) - the M1100 has the same radial calipers as the SBKs, and there are numerous options for aftermarket levers because its an OEM part (unlike the high end masters)
on the 696, finding a take off m1100 / hyper / sbk radial master would be a great upgrade and reasonably priced.
I got them for 250 Euros each brand new from a local KTM dealer without brake pads. Took the OEM pads from the 1198. Awesome braking power and nice feel.
And yes I've changed the master cylinders as well.
KTM Part No.'s:
LH, no pads: 6901301500130 MSRP: $388.99 USD
RH, no pads: 6901301600130 MSRP: $388.99 USD
fwiw, i'm not really a fan of the oem pads on the 1098/1198. Try out some relatively inexpensive EBC HH pads and I think you'll find they've got more oomph and they are less grabby. MSRP $37.99 USD / caliper
if you bought it all new at MSRP and bolted it up, you'd be looking at $853.96 USD + tax, and a jug of brake fluid for a bleed.
kocheroni ,your ride looks hot! simplicity at it's best [thumbsup]
