Put the bikini 696/1100 fairing on....I like it better than no fairing, but really wish it were RED!!
What do you guy's think?
I have the red S4SR Corse stripe on the way...we'll see how it looks.

Agreed.... It looks much better on this bike than a 796. I took mine off the first week of owning and never put it back on.

It isn't there for looks..., but if you don't ride over 50..., you'll never notice.

I cruise to and from work 13 mi....at about 55-65
and for me it is about the look. The bike with gauges exposed, looked unfinished to me.
Just found a red one on ebay...and it's in the mail. I do plan on tinting the screen.

I think the S4R fairing will look even better.
My first preference is the original one.

Pretty cool...didnt know it would fit. IMO, it seem to be out of place with the whole old school theme of the bike. Have you consider the DP fairing? Not the S*R ones.

There are at least two iterations of DP fairings for the old Monster (pre 2000).
My first Monster had that version purchased from the DP catalogue, but my current bike has the rounder more curved version used on the 98-99 M900 S and some '97-'99 bikes. Both DP ones are carbon.
I think your version can clear the clip on bars easier. They were worth a fortune in 1996!
The S4R fairing will be a good compromise, and the stripe is fine.
