mrplease - you should just start your own forum...amazing all the stuff you have done with your monster. I just started riding, just got a 696 red and after just a few months of riding im already thinking of moving to a bigger bike, but i have the problem of height - 5'2"- so its hard for me to handle bigger bikes (for now). but seeing all your mods got me excited about the 696...thanks for sharing...
when you start scraping hardparts and have that Monster so flickable, throttle wound out, and you STILL wanna move up to a "bigger bike", lmk cuz I'm there now and there is no way in hell I have any desire for anything liter-size or "bigger" because I would likely end up hurt or license revoked. And lemme also add I am a responsible, 40-something-year-old mother of 2 who values life and maintains a safe driver's license still also. OH and same "height issues"
Enjoy the Monster! It's a GREAT bike!
Oh yeah, and MrPlease has done some NICE mods, I agree! It's another added joy of this bike, UNIQUE-ability and beyond!
