Someone had posted a few high resolution pictures of their 696. I think it had Termis.. Mighta been a dark. Excellent shots, anyone recall?

Can't locate those pics!

Not to assume, but I haven't seen to many other pics on here, so here's what I have.... I've got the originals on my camera still, about 2x the size.  Here's my flickr page:

BTW...Not sure how familiar you are with flickr, but if you want 1024x768 versions, just click the "All Sizes" button above the picture.

Thanks, trying to convince a guy the 696 is a good looking bike, using yours as proof :)

There are 2 things on the 696 I don't like.

The "robin Hood" hat above the headlight and the plate holder.

Both are easily fixed. My buddy on here took off his wind screen and all he needs now is a tail chop and that bike is set! I really like the seating position on it.

Ya...I took my windscreen off, but from what I can tell, the tail chop kit isn't available yet.  Any one have one in hand yet?

Because as far as I can tell, the whole tail section is a bolt on piece.  I don't see any point in cutting 90% of a bolt on piece off of my bike.

Not to mention the seat lock is integrated into that piece.

I saw it while I was out at the bar the other day...So I snapped a few pics for everyone here at the forum.

Here's my post on it:

agreed on the tail piece.

have you noticed much difference without the fairing?  thinking of removing mine as well


actually, i'll be shocked if you felt much of a difference, cause it sure doesn't feel like it's blocking anything

[edit]
man, i hate you.
i was wanting to head out to traverse city last weekend while in cadillac, but never got the chance

nkryptit

No difference at all...that thing is a joke.
