Pics of my 696 dark

It's ridiculous. I dont remember it being that loud! 

We have another month at least of cold wet weather, if not snow, so i have some time to fix her up. CW tail chop is already on its way. frame sliders soon after. A small bit of powder coating soon after and i should be good for a few months at least, then onto grips, mirrors, etc.

I'm heading to Colorado on a ski trip this weekend though, it's probably going to be the first time i'v been more distracted by something else while skiing, especially out west! I'm going to miss her!

I was perplexed looking at the sticker running up the center of the tank...  I couldn't figure out why anyone would put "COCSTER" on their bike...  I mean, that's a little perverted!

So I say to myself, why would he put a sticker like that on his monster?  Hmm.... Monster....  COCSTER....  I should look again at that sticker.  Maybe it doesn't say what I think it says....

It says "Monster" guys, It does look like it says "cocster" from that view though...I never noticed that, It is actually an older Ducati font, it's just when you go vertical instead of horizontal it changes the way it looks.

Here is a better shot of the tank.

well either way...

THE BIKE IS SICK!

and thanks for the help on the rearsets!!

Hahaha it totally looks like "COCSTER"!!!

I do, however, like the sticker on the seat cowl. I was unable to find it at tapeworks.com. Do you have a link? Thanks.

Looks killer    I really like what you've done.  May I suggest covering up that yellow shock with either a black or red shock sock.  I got mine here http://myworld.ebay.com/duc-m750.  She usually makes them in sets of two specifically for off-road bikes but made a single for me.  All I had to provide was some measurements.

Looks great. How is the paint holding up on the rearsets?. I would think it would scratch easy. What kind of paint did you use?

[StandTall]

Outstanding! where did you get the red anodized bolts?

The paint on the rearsets is holding up well as long as nothing hard like a rock hits them, then you just do a little touch up job.

looks good, what mt bike mirrors did you use?

As far as the bolts go I actually removed them, sprayed them with red anodize paint from duplicolor and re installed them. They look good and hold up perfectly.

I got the mirrors at Sport Challet, got the pair for $30, not sure which brand, as it has been a while but you can tell by looking at them which ones they are.

looks great.  Where did you get your vinyl fork wrap?
