How to achieve monster 796 rear tyre look for a 696. Move rotor?

[tamindy696]

So I have noticed that the brembo rear rotor in the 796 is on the left hand side where the chain is. It gives a pretty clean look from the right hand side.  I do reckon that Monster's wheels are three spokes and different from the 796 but is it possible to move the rear rotor to the left hand side to achieve that look?

can't

can't unless.

unless you convert the rear end to single sided swinging arm.

it has been done - lot of effort though...   >>   http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=46212.0

Wow nice, thanks for the link.  My bike is a 2012 696 ABS with 4100 miles so far. It's my first bike ever, If I end up keeping it for a long time then I may very well get that swing arm modification done.  I really like the monster shape, After riding the 696 for 3 months, I think its a great lightweight bike and fast too.  However I am itching to get something faster, Monster 1100 evo is  probably something which I will be very happy with and could keep for a long time.  I am not sure what to do, either trade in for an 1100 evo now or wait till next season, maybe there will be a new 1100 evo.

not sure how the ABS would affect the swingarm swap.

better to just step up to the 1100 if you are thinking that way anyway.
