A way yes, an easy way, not exactly  Grin  A lot of people on here have looked into it.  I think i've seen at least two 696's with a dry clutch mod.  Couldnt get a hold of either person to ask how easy it was.

All the research i've done led me to believe it was costly and not the easiest mod in the world

It will cost at minimum half of what you paid for the bike to begin with. Not at all worth the time or trouble. I would ask the same question He Man asked.

Cause the EVO has a wet clutch.... 

I'm sure one could still get a 2010 1100 though... but not for much longer  Evil

The 848 kit that's available has a slipper and Mag side cover. those two items drive the price crazy high.
If a dealer were to make a normal kit, it could be reasonably priced, and they could make a big and small case version.
Any dealer/sponsor wanna step up?

Wow... none of the new Monsters have dry clutch. This is really sad.

Seems they are keeping the dry clutches only for the race oriented bikes.
HM, SF and 1198.

silly that the 848 doesn't have it though not that is being raced more.

then again if the new Evo wet clutch is as good as it's cracked up to be then it makes sense to carry it over the line of anything south of 170hp

leaving only the 1198 for the dry clutch.

dry clutch would be "greener" wouldnt it? oil mess and all? or would clutch smoke be asbestos smoke?

Holy irrelevant batman. Might want to do some more research... Quieter, more reliable, more "masses" friendly. This is the way of ducati, less a niche bike and more a brand. Such is life.

Precisely Robin!... less maintenance and quieter = easier on the environment. So we have been told.

I stand by the notion that every Duc should have two options:  First is a red frame and second a dry clutch, if you so desire. 

Now, I'd love to hear about the conversion
