Well, step one is done. I bought the 1100 today.

I think I'm going to try and change out the bodywork tonight (taking pictures along the way).

Crappy cell phone pics. Better pics tonight.

About 3 hours to rip off all the body work and switch it all over - taking pictures the entire time. I have the whole series from start to finish - pictures from each piece removal on the 1100 down to nothing then as parts start to move over. This was a pretty easy switch. I also took all the frame stickers off the 1100. Reflectors are next as is the addition of the FEK.

1100 After switch:

696 After switch:

I've had this 696 for a year and 3 months (almost), seen it and ridden it almost every day. It looks like a completely different bike. I don't even recognize it anymore. Its late, I will add some pics of the parts off and series tomorrow.

those flat black plastics pull all other plastics and the subframe together, Looks great

Wow the flat black looks sweet with the red frame. If i could only get someone to trade me some flat black panels for my pearl white ones, I'd jump all over it.
