Hi Guys, let me know what you think about my idea ... i dont like the standard positon of M696-1100 headlight, i allways feel it looks like a front crash ... much to close on the bike i my point of view let me show you my prototype, i like step 2 maybe 3. for me the +10mm(step 2) or +15mm(step 3) looks perfect, much better than stock  animation: http://www.desmoworld.com/shop/media/bilder/headlight_relocator.gifwhat do you think about ? Thanks Chris |

have you checked the length of the light and turnsignal wires? i always felt they were a bit short.
the third obviously would be the better choice since it's so different than stock. You might want to even check out a 25mm one.
I think some people were having issues with some clipons with the light assembly so this may solve that problem.
Nice innovation though!

Yes, After clipon install the headlight points WAY too low and cannot be adjusted high enough with the factory light aiming adjustments. I had to improvise an extension at the bottom mounting point in order to get the right height. |

Seriously, this is awesome. Will it be adjustable or only set-lengths to order? It not only looks good (kinda diggin the 20mm myself) but would be a huge help to the clipon issues involved with the headlight clearance. Make it so... and update the website in English so I can start my ordering frenzy :-D

ok so better +15mm or +20mm ... at the moment its only a 1hour testing prototype , not adjustable because you need appropriate parts like a top cover and holders.
i will check if i find a good adjustable solution ... if not it will be fixed for +15 or + 20mm

My headlight already looks like your Stage 2 version . Anybody who fits a Speedymoto top triple to M1100/M796/M696 will find that they have spacing issues with the headlight mounts. The Speedy top triple forces the upper mount out by... from memory something like 10mm, so something is required to "balance" this at the lower mount. Like Veloce-Fino, I also had to come up with a modded lower light mount to reslove this. But your kit may be the answer to this issue for anybody else who wants to go the Speedy top triple route  . |

I have the clipon problem, and a super-cheesy workaround. You make this in a 15 or 20mm, and I'm buying one.

what do you think ? I think it looks absomake the beast with two backsinglutely gorgeous  ... I always knew those Spark cans and midpipe would look neat on M1100..... why cant Ducati come up with a neat midpipe hanger and neat heat sheilds like that?...... the nicest slip-on/get rid of flapper gate option around IMHO . Und die schwarze Farbe? Auch sehr schoen !!  |
