M695 Frame Plugs

[Wonked]

After new, adjustable front forks, new rear spring, clip ons, KTM headlight, frame sliders, 14T front sprocket, termis, and open airbox, I've run out of things to do on my 695. I've thought about adding frame plugs, though I know it's totally unnecessary. Anyone know what size I'd need?

Also, my bike is red on red, and I was actually thinking about doing the gold plugs - the thought being that when it came time to replace the chain/sprockets, I'd go gold there, and maybe even gold levers some day.

Thoughts? Please don't tell me to get out and ride. I know, I know.

get out and ride!!!


 


any set that is made for an 02+ monster (ST frame) will fit your bike

Let's see the bike, I've got similar mods, been meaning to take some better photos soon myself.

You need 1 x 23, 3 x 24 and 1 x 25 mm. You'd still need a smaller for the left side upper hole - I've seen it once, but can't remember where or the size. If you have the side panels it's hardly noticeable though.

Mine are German MPL Tuningparts (rahmendeckel) bought from RageMoto, a set of five for $66. Sponsor DesmoWorld has some nice ones too, but pricey and AFAIK not the 25mm.

Thanks for the tips, all. Here's the bike in its current format:

Ahh yes,  I have seen your bike, I dig your headlight bracket.  I have a Superduke light on mine, need to find the time to fabricate a better bracket for myself.

My bike is a red on red 695 and now has lots of shinny gold bits
cant tell you what size the frame plugs are it is a pain trying to get the correct fit and I didn't like what was on offer with company names etched into them and lots of $$$$$  so my mate RobS a fellow OzDMF rider who has a lathe machined these for me out of brass .

And some more matching gold goodness

Do a tail chop.   That'll make the bike look really sharp!

[Wonked]

The reflectors have been removed, due in no small part to the thrashing I expected here. I dig the gold, maybe I'll give it a whirl.

I like the gold plugs alot.  The ragemoto ones are cool, but I only see black colored.  Desmoworlds is really nice, but how could they be missing one plug in the kit!?

And now for an actual suggestion...
Maybe replace those ugly stock coffin reservoir covers with something a little less... warning-y?

I think they make a huge difference...

[Wonked]

Corey, those are interesting. Do you literally just swap out existing covers for those, or do you have to do messy things like bleed brake lines and stuff (no likey)?

Tail chop is not for me. I don't hate the beer tray and fight it useful.
