696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

[stopintime]

dont waste money on a 1100 stand...it's no longer than the 696,the bike just leans harder (especially with a taller profile tire like a pirelli).  motocreations +1" stand it.

Ok - didn't know that. I assumed it was higher since the 1100 is about 40mm higher....

it is a tiny tiny bit longer, but sits at a different angle.  The foot isn't as wide, and the aluminum stand is pretty weak (i've seen a few snap), The 1100 leans alot more, I'm not a huge fan of how much they lean, but they get the job done.

Really?  Whilst I admit I've never actually measured and compared....... are you sure??

i haven't measured them side by side, i'm basing on hearsay from reputable sources.

why would it be longer? the bikes seat height is just about the same, only different because of the bracket thingy on the rear shock. Tires would make the bike taller but I don't see wy it would be.

The 1100 seat height is 40mm more than the 696. I don't know if that means a longer kickstand though.

we'll see when i take it off the stand and lift.

ill try to take a pic and check the lean angle.

just painted upthe new front SBK fender. apparently and i didnt know this, it was a Senna fender... interesting... but it's black now. oh well.

40mm? i  thoughti heard like 13 mm

is that all rear shock bracket? i still gotta get that mod done

[Raux]

i haven't seen the forks side by side. but i'm pretty certain the front sits higher too

[ungeheuer]

yup M1100 is taller at both ends

[Raux]

speaking of taller at both ends

i want to measure my front to rear angle.

cna someone with an 1100 measure from the front of the frame at a point to the ground and from the tail of the frame to the ground

and maybe give me a diagram of your exact measuring points.

i want to make sure i don't throw off the stock geometry, now that it's been brought up.

[ungeheuer]

Maybe....

Ask nicely

what the hell? you know you're gonna do it even if i don't
