Title: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: rosstermyer on August 18, 2008, 05:19:06 PM just a few quick pictures showing how i moved the regulator and horn after removing the lower fairing. also gives a good idea of what it looks like for anyone who is curious....
im still deciding if i like it or not...it definently gives the bike a more "monster" look. i may order the euro right side shroud/fairing just to have incase i change my mind. at least it would be balanced looking then. on a side note: the bike seems to consitantly run cooler temp wise by about 1 bar in all riding conditions. probably due to the added airflow around that front cylinder as it was almost completely covered before! first picture is just a funny mural on a store i stumbled across here in charlotte. [laugh] too funny if you ask me. i was so scared someone with a gun was gonna walk up and steal my bike so i was quick with the pics LOL.

(http://distortedolskool.smugmug.com/photos/354513732_pnCuZ-L.jpg) here are a couple closeup pics of the underside of the bike showing how i remounted the bits and pieces that were attatched to the fairing. i may try to redo it a different way, but the wiring for all of it is pretty tight so i dont have much slack or room to work with.

[edit] seems to have fixed itself. thanks i hope to lose more of the "trash" as soon as the funs allow. i have to buy a new washer/dryer in the coming weeks first. :-\ Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Big Troubled Bear on August 18, 2008, 11:00:24 PM Looks cool [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Travman on August 19, 2008, 04:44:08 AM The regulator sticks out like a sore thumb now. Perhaps it could be painted black in order to make it disappear.
Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: rosstermyer on August 19, 2008, 01:19:00 PM The regulator sticks out like a sore thumb now. Perhaps it could be painted black in order to make it disappear. i am thinking about doing that now that you say so, but it really doesnt look that noticable in person. its so bright and in your face in these pics because it was dusk and i was using the flash which highlights just about everything.

Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: duclvr on April 04, 2009, 10:40:00 AM if you're going total naked remove the bikini fairing too. and also are your going to chop the tail? Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Special K on April 04, 2009, 11:32:23 AM Looks good! You did a neat job of it. I like the look either way. I think this mod might appeal to some of the monster purists who don't like the new design. Cute dog too.
Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: DucinKtown on April 04, 2009, 05:35:08 PM You need a washer and dryer, bet I could help!!!
But I live in western Canada. nice pictures, I just started riding for the year today, did about 200 KM, got a sun burn, way cool. Thanks Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Duck-Stew on April 04, 2009, 05:57:15 PM Ok... I get it. I've looked at the new Monsters for a while now but didn't *see* this abomination between the horizontal cylinder and the frame. With it removed, it definately looks more 'Monster'. Nicely done but the regulator really should have a 2nd bolt in it's mount (I know you're working with what you've got and it'll be fine for now, but consider fabbing a bracket at some point, K?)
Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Holden on April 04, 2009, 06:16:12 PM One of the best mods I ever did. I'm surprised more people haven't done it!
Just need to take out the turn signal extenders now. [thumbsup] P.S. the regulator doesn't stand out that much—must have been the flash. And it really doesn't need the 2nd mounting point... mine won't budge at all (unlike the stock mounting on plastic!). I do have the horn mounted via another hole though. Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: hcomp on April 05, 2009, 02:33:58 AM I took mine off as well, but mounted an oil cooler there....I was thinking of moving the regulator under the seat.

Just remember those regulators get hot. Even if the heat doesn't damage anything it shortens the life of the regulator. A better option might be to clean it up and a light coat of flat black paint Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Raux on April 05, 2009, 12:24:41 PM Nice mods..where did you get the oil cooler?and how much? you don't know? Ryanracer is selling a new kit... Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: hcomp on April 05, 2009, 02:41:40 PM you don't know? Ryanracer is selling a new kit... I think he knows, he was the first one to comment when I posted the oil cooler. I am not selling the kit, but Moto Wheels is. None the less I will throw up the ridiculous commercial we made.....Never mind our strange sense of humor..

I rather enjoyed it!!! ;D Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: dbran1949 on April 05, 2009, 03:50:08 PM Hilarious [laugh]
Title: Re: Few pics of 696 with lower fairing/emissions box removed Post by: Raux on April 05, 2009, 09:49:10 PM that is fricking great. i love it. you need to do one for the forum to get more people coming here. hmmm something like 150,000 monsters out there and we have 4100 members... we are slacking.
