I was looking at a dark 696, and there are some things I would do right away.

#1 Remove the hot dog tray and reflectors + stickers from the frame. Good thin you don't need a tail chop.  cheeky
#2 Paint or powder coat the rear sets ( entire assembly)
#3 New mirrors (CRG) would be my choice
#4 Clutch and brake levers, again CRG.
#5 Triple clamp modification or new one with the respective clip-ons under the triple.
#6 I don't know if yours comes with the seat cowl, if it does not, I would get one.
#7 Exhaust pipes.!! I don't like the pipes that flair out some how, I prefer straight, however I know that you are limited
     to what ever they make for it.

I believe the 696, is a really sweet looking bike, but those are the first things I would work on


Have fun and ride safe..

p.s. post pictures soon..   waytogo

Let us know if you need help...!!

We could probably JB weld an open clutch cover on top of the stock one Smiley

Maybe some bailing wire for effect?

Hey, it doesn't count until we see pics of it in your garage Smiley

Very nice. I was skeptical, but that bike is growing on me. Is that Ace Motorsports' showroom?

Very nice!! I vell in love with the 696 see second I saw the first pictures of it on the net.  I'm sure you'll have a blast with it and if you ever need someone to ride it while you're out of town, I'll volunteer.  Grin

One other mod to consider is removing the charcoal canister from the left side in front of the motor.  It sticks out like a soar thumb.
