Hello from Northern Ireland - M1100S

Evening all, recently picked up a 2011 M1100S.

Thought I'd say hi.

Hi Chris: welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard.

That's a nice example you've got there. On the subject of OE bar ends - I wouldn't bother as they're only plastic buttons that block off the open handlebar. You'd be better off fitting something from R&G, if you want crash protection, or something heavier if you want to damp out any vibes.

By the way, have you seen this other bargain from Doggy? http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=59323

Do you have plans for any other mods?

Thanks for the heads up. Tbh I'm not entirely sure what I'm after yet, open to suggestions. As a Ducati novice, what is recommended?
I did see he had a carbon chain guard I would have liked.

Welcome aboard.
There are a multitude of accessories available for the monster family of bikes.
I would suggest start with google/ eBay so you can what's available in the way of goodies to personalise your bike. But be were, this can become obsessive!

As Grumpy intimated, that's a dangerous question!

There is still a huge range of mods/accessories available for the 696/796/1100 models. Have a look here for some examples, most of which would fit your 1100S.

Beware! There are therapies available to help manage the symptoms, but there is no effective cure yet for Carbonitus!!

That's a nice lookin machine, enjoy!
