Welcome [beer].
Although an English speaking forum, it's a great international community here.

Welcome Joey.

I'm a kiwi expat living in Hong Kong and lovin' my 2007 695 which I brought in December 2015 with 24kms on it. 

I hadn't ridden for many years and have always wanted a DUC.  Never expected how easy it would be to work on the Monster, mods I've done so far:

- Swapped the stock mirrors for carbon
- CNC grips
- Dropped the stock exhausts for Mivv GT Carbons. 
- USB port on bars and Quadlock for iPhone
- Did a tail chop recently and installed the LED tail light with integrated turn signals. No regrets there, looks way better.

Here's a FPV video I cut in June when the weather was sweet

Great to be a fresh member of the club!

Thanks guys,

Metzy, killer bike!  I got the red one as well.

Ill post a pic, once i get a hosting URL up.

Nice mods,

Ive got the CNC locking grips as well.
Id like to do an exhaust upgrade, and fashion a nice handmade rear luggage carrier for 2-3 day mini tours.

How did you wire the USB jack, on a switch?
