I think that one is a bit over-sized for my taste

Yeah, I thought it looked like a ship, too!

sure can...just alittle hard to steer, and very little go.  lots of smoke though

I think it turns it into a jetski or speed boat.

No full leathers?  Squid.

Has anyone put this lower cowling on a 1100M? 

Very nice looking on the 696...

I saw the puig in real life... it didn't look too good on the left side of the bike.  kinda looked like a disc got smashed into the lower part of the engine. totally didn't flow well at all.

I'll most likely try the dp lower engine cowl. Although, I think the dp engine cowl is installed a bit too high on the engine for my taste, but nothing else looks better.

Anyone purchased this belly pan??
Any photos?
I am considering to buy one for my M1100s.

I purchased one for my 796 back in May and I have yet to install it on the bike.  I am having a difficult time finding the precise torque specs for the bolts that are being replaced by the spacers.  It looks like the equivalent bolts on my Sport 1000 require 9Nm/6.64 lbs-ft.  I want to use the proper value to avoid any oil leaks, and I want to be able to remove the pan while leaving the spacers for changing the oil (I'm sure removing those bolts/spacers from the engine every time the oil needs changing would take its toll on the threads).  Perhaps using a little Loctite on the spacers would aid in helping them stay put while the bolts are removed, but I'm not sure if regular blue Loctite would be of much use given how hot the engine can get.
