Has anyone removed the canister on the 696? If so what are you doing with the plastic cover that gets left behind? We are thinking of getting a CF piece produced to replace it that would be symetrical instead of designed to hold the canister. Either that or remove the entire plastic piece and relocate the regulator.

What is behind the mesh screen on the side opposite the canister, can that whole shroud be taken off?

Picture above is what it looks like with the cannister and shroud removed. A regulator is behind the screen. We have some symetric shrouds coming that are designed to work with out the cannister if you prefer to leave the shroud on. -M |

The relocation was relatively easy. We moved the horn to a higher position and then used the horn mount to mount the regulator. We used a strip of aluminum similar to what the horn has to mount the regulator and keep it from shifting. Its something we may get made in the future but it is pretty easy to DIY it. We should have the euro shrouds coming in the next few weeks as well. |

I did it. This is really the first mod I've done, I had the mirrors/slip-ons installed at delivery. It feels really good to put in a few hours and a few beers, and end up with a bike that still runs, and looks better than it did when you started. Thanks for all the help guys  |

can you post some pics of what you did with the rectifier?
planning to do this soon. that shroud really bummed me out when i saw the US version up close. one of the things i've always loved about the monsters (and all naked ducatis) is how the engine just hangs out like the bike was entirely built around it.
[edit]
your bike is looking nice
pretty sure i'll be losing the fairing as well

I can post some pics after lunch. I'm not quite happy with the rectifier mount yet. It's mounted to the old horn plate, but there is a bit of a lip that restricts the rectifier from laying flat as it is tightened. I'm going to try and put a little shim in there or something to clean it up.

Looks good. I am really starting to like the dark 696. Now you just need some black rear sets.

excellent, thanks.
i'll be doing this over the weekend...
as far as the actual removal went, you just capped off where the hoses connect back to the engine?
also, i think i remember reading that you were having trouble getting to one of these points, what happened there?
[edit]
nevermind on that last bit... found your other post. connecting the two was pretty much what i had in mind anyways.
