Gitter's 796 "mod" thread

[gitter]

Didn't see a place for build threads, so I figured I'd throw it in here.

Bought the bike 06-01-2012. Almost up to my 600 mile service. Only have a few mods done so far, but figured I would share regardless.

Day I brought her home.


Only mods so far is a comp werkes tail kit, Fresco carbon slip ons (picked up from Motowheels) , and 3" bar end mirrors.



Mirrors are now turned right side up so I can actually see out of them. Love the slip ons, only issue I'm having is when I dont run them with the baffles, sometimes when the bike is cold it will cut out. I'm assuming this is because the bike is running lean. Haven't had any issues once the bike is warm.

Feel free to leave comments // ideas

NICE!!! just did my 7500 service my rear tire is toast, so i got a new one coming today
im glad the rear tire lasted 7500 miles!

It looks good Gitter, I like the exhaust a lot.

It always amazes me how mush the bar end mirrors changes the entire profile of these bikes! EVERYTHING just looks lower with those on.

Bike looks Great Glitter, I have 2011 796, looking to do same mods, what brand is the exhaust? I looked on Moto wheels, didn't see that slip on. was the undertail hard to instal? I was thinking Arrow Dark Thunder for mine.

I think I snagged the last set of fresco slip ons they had. I think they mentioned something about not carrying them anymore ( dont quote me on that though) Ive been debating selling them and going with something like the leo vince carbons. Arrows are nice too, that was another one I considered. The carbon cans were just a little more than I wanted to spend at that current point in time.

The undertail wasnt hard to install. If I had it to do over I would have gone with an evotech though, instead of the comp werkes

[gitter]

Rizoma (005) bars installed. Need to pick up a shorter riser so I can rotate the bars a little further back to where they are supposed to be. Over all I like them though. Very good fit and finish.

Haven't updated this in a while. Added a 14t sprocket, shortened the stock front signals and plasti dipped the stock bar riser and headlight.

[wannabfast]

looks good!

Bellisma!

[memper]

Looks real nice. Cool pipes. But I gotta say from the front it looks like its wearing a shriners hat. Is that the new duc attempt at a flyscreen?

[gitter]

Haha no that's actually the back of the gauges. I took the flyscreen off

Are the handlebars the standard or touring? im looking into the same bike, but the stock bars feel too far foward, i heard the rizoma touring bars with 60mm risers make it much more comfortable.
