Title: M796 owners unite. Post by: Duc796canada on July 14, 2011, 01:43:08 PM Okay I just looked through the 696 owners unite post, some cool pics and upgrades. Well 796 owners. now that the bike has been out a year already, let's see some of your mods and pics. There aren't many 796 videos out there or pics for that matter other than the Ducati intro videos. Mine are coming. [Dolph]
Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: Arachnosold1er on July 14, 2011, 09:14:40 PM I will post some pics of my bike as soon as I figure out how. I am waiting on my fender eliminator to arrive at the moment. It should be here Saturday. This will be the first real mod if you don't count peeling the stickers off of the frame. Next will be to get rid of the charcoal can and install the euro shroud. Exhaust is really the next big thing on my list and I already know what I want. I am still trying to decide which direction to go with modding my machine. I'm open to suggestions though. There are a lot of carbon parts available that would look really good but I have always considered carbon to be "ricer" stuff. If the carbon parts were more of a functional type mod it would be an easier decision but they are almost all cosmetic.

[Dolph] I just got my 796 and I haven't started modding because I'm overseas but have already ordered the Rodan box some passenger grab handles a new seat from Sargents. The bike (its used) has GPS already so I don't need to worry about that. And thats about it. But I would like to get a new fly screen or whatever its called. I have been looking around and some seem kinda big some seem almost the same as the OEM one. Does anyone have advice on one that doesn't look out of place on the bike but works better then the OEM one? Title: Re: M796 owners unite.

Post by: Duc796canada on July 15, 2011, 07:22:13 AM I have the Magical racing with the smoke screen, my bike has CF pipes so that colour matches the screen. It works great at speed. [thumbsup] Pricey though, had I seen that DeLight Suzuka one prior I like the looks of that one, there is another French company called EPR or something, they make a nice one as well. Stay safe "over there!!"

Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: thought on July 15, 2011, 08:07:26 AM can you post some pics of your bike with that screen? and you can have the painted if the cf doenst work for you.

You will like the looks, it looks better in person than the picture. I will get mine painted as well, right now it is just the carbon, might be a winter project, lol. I was going to post some pics, but I have to get photo-bucket or flicker. Title: Re: M796 owners unite.

Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: Monster-Jay on July 18, 2011, 02:25:28 PM Hi all. This is my 796, all I have done so far is chop the tail and body work. I think my next mods will be arrow titanium cans and bar end mirrors. Some may call the orange ugly (looks way better in person), but I like it.

I find myself liking it more and more as the days go by. Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: wannabfast on July 23, 2011, 09:51:10 PM the only thing that bothers me about the orange is how it goes with the red frame, that aside, its HOT
put my bike up on the dyno a few days ago, pulled 76hp to the rear wheel 2011 Ducati monster 796 stock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evUaB7EcCpc#normal) watch the pipe off the rear head Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: Monster-Jay on July 24, 2011, 06:41:10 AM Here is a better image that is more color correct. I think it looks nice with the red frame, but then everyone is entitled to their own opinion. ;)

Some gorgeous bikes on here. Been riding dirtbikes for the past decade, but this is my first street bike and I couldn't be happier with it. Bought the ABS model at the end of May and have been throwing parts at it since to make it mine. Next will be a thorough washing as I haven't been able to get off it...

Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: AKducati on August 06, 2011, 07:20:16 PM Thanks for the kudos guys.
Speedymoto on both the triple and clipons. Keeps things looking very uncluttered in the cockpit and were super easy to install. I attached the headlight using those two brass screws at the front of the triple as the headlight was left unsupported otherwise (I'm sure I just missed a part of the install though...) I like the idea of coating the pipes, but I've also grown pretty fond of the industrial look the pipes have. Next mod coming will be rearsets, just haven't settled on which yet.

I really like those pipes. Are they really loud? How about compared to Termis? Jim Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: AKducati on August 06, 2011, 07:46:05 PM I haven't heard the termi's in person, but from what I could get off youtube they have a racey, tuned sound to them. These pipes sound tight and deep, not boomy and loud. Folks that ride with me never complain about them being too loud, but they definitely turn heads if I open the throttle a bit.
Title: Re: M796 owners unite. Post by: Arachnosold1er on August 07, 2011, 10:28:23 AM I have been considering the CW cans for a while now. A lot of people say that they do not flow with the lines of the bike but if you compare the position and angle of the CW cans in relation to the tail, they are the same as the stock cans. To each their own though. I think I will be geting a set soon.

You can decide to splice the turn signals into your stock signal wiring, or just cap them off and just have the brake and light part only. Personally I'm happy with the stock light, it is already LED and I like my signals separate from my tail light, just me! Don't want any ambiguity to the drivers behind me who are already distracted enough. |
