Starter bang on 96ci
I know the 'bang' from the starter on the 96ci is normal but I hate it and find I'm always having to explain it to bystanders when I start the bike.
Is there anything that can be done about it? Put the heavy-duty HD version on? Retrofit another starter?
Any help would be appreciated

It's not the starter, but in fact the compensator that makes the noise. There are several ways to stop the noise depending on Basically two things. The SE heavy comp will stop it. If you have tmax, you can drop the start timing and home position for the iac. I'm sure it can be done with Sert as well. I too got sick of people asking about it. Havn't heard it for a year now, but my solution was to shim the stock spring pack in the comp and change how it starts with the tmax. Even though it sounds like crap, the knock is relatively harmless in stock configuration.
