No Monster of my own, but my wife has an '09 696

I decided to remove my headlight fairing to see how I liked the bike without it.

Thus far, I hate it but that's mostly because of all the ugly, multicolored wires and white plastic connector this has exposed between the headlight bucket and the instrument cluster on the right-hand side of the bike.

I reckon there is some good solution for this since many models didn't come with the headlight fairing and I can't imagine Ducati left all that crap hanging out in the breeze on those models. If they did, I presume owners have figured out a more elegant solution.

Any tips out there?

I was actually just thinking about that the other week, but I didn't touch mine.  I kinda like the "raw" look.  If I do anything, I'll just wrap them with electrical tape.  

A lot of people have lowered there instrument clusters which hides the wires more too.

ducati does in fact leave all that crap out in the open on models that come without the fairing.
it is a PITA, but it is possible to hide most of that stuff behind the headlight bucket.
just takes time, and zip ties
