Hi Laid,I'm sorry, please tell me the address of this site.
Hey Howard, I am looking to find the triple clamp carbon cover. When I search that part number I get nothing?? I am looking through the parts manual and do not see the schematic for it. Wandering if you could help with my search?Few important parts arrived today :
First, the ORIGINAL Termignoni Rivets from the US Importer of Termignoni @Brock @BrocksPerf who is also our forum official vendor arrived today !. Thanks @Brock @BrocksPerf for shipping them so fast to me :
I also purchase some extra exhaust springs and Termignoni logo:

Then, more Ducati Panigale V4 SUPERLEGGERA (and V4R) CARBON Fiber parts arrived:
First, the Panigale V4 SUPERLEGGERA CARBON Fiber Radiator Frame:
View attachment 3436View attachment 3437
View attachment 3438View attachment 3439
They look amazing, unfortunately, one of the lower mounting stud that hold the oil cooler broke during shipment. Judging from the way they were attached, I am guessing there will be a lot of complain from V4 SUPERLEGGERA owner who track their bike,
because I have a feeling the strong vibration from track use will crack and broke this mounting stud eventually. They are not firmly attached to the carbon fiber fabric (not anchored deep enough).
However, since this is DUCATImodifed.com, we don't complain, but channel our energy in finding solution
So, I am purchasing some carbon fiber fabric and will do some reinforcement along the base of the STUD . More details about this soon.

It suppose to look like this below:

Now, this is the V4 SUPERLEGGERA Lower Triple Clamp CARBON Fiber cover:
View attachment 3443View attachment 3444
and last, this is the V4R, Lower Subframe CARBON Fiber cover, again this is the V4R version. I need this version because there will be some more surprise modification to the rear suspension
Notice that at one end, it was painted silver... I am guessing this is the location where it got very close to the Exhaust Manifold and the Silver Paint also function as extra heat shield/protection:

Hi Apuca,Hey Howard, I am looking to find the triple clamp carbon cover. When I search that part number I get nothing?? I am looking through the parts manual and do not see the schematic for it. Wandering if you could help with my search?
Ahhh there it is. For some reason it was hidden from my view in the diagram. As always very helpful, Howard.Hi Apuca,
it is on page 110 of the Superleggera V4 spare part catalog, screenshot below. I bet you insert lower capital "L" instead of Upper Capital "I" on the part number , that is why it wasn't came up when you enter the search using part number.

Hi Andy,Apologies Howard I’m getting things a little out of order here once again - I remember a while ago you made a post about the bike sport development handlebar switches you had custom assembled to be all black. I’m curious why you went with those over CNC or WRS?
I mean the BSD would be my choice as well but can’t seem to find a whole lot of comparison info on the others?
Hi Andy,Very detailed answer as usual, much appreciated Howard. My concern, mostly with the left side as the housing is larger, was the clearance to the tank perhaps being an issue. Although the BSD product looks to be a smaller height than CNC (for example) due to relocating the switches. I haven’t yet compared the dimensions of both items.
It’s interesting that they don’t offer a solution for the V4 riders using it on the street. I can’t see the 1299 version needing much adjustment to update its compatibility.

Those are lovely. I have those in the aluminum configuration. Unfortunately it’s not Ducati by Rizoma.Hi Andy,
Initially, I never want to replace the switches because I just don't like the colorful button because it reminds me of the button on a game console/pinball machine. Nothing wrong with game console/pinball machine but it make the bike look like a toy or sometimes like M&M candy, I mean this is just my personal preference.
Plus those colorful button looks shiny and make the impression of plasticky...
However, when I install the RCS17 Corsa Corta Master Cylinder, there is clearance issue with the stock factory right switch, so I was forced to see the options available for this switches.
I compare all the BSD, CNC, WRS and Jetprime, (and there is some other brands that I forgot), but all of them (except BSD) came in machine aluminum finish that show the "machined surface finish" (grooves from the machining process), and combine with glossy black finish, which I somehow don't like.
Those grooves from the machining process were rough and make it look like the surface have wrinkle skin... combined with the glossy black finish, made them look like GLOSSY WRINKLED Skin
I might like them if the machining grooves are finer like Motocorse machined finish though...
Anyway, only BSD came with SMOOTH aluminum finish plus it's anodized in MATTE black finish which make it look more professional to my eye.
And not only that, but the BSD also mount to the master cylinder which save more space and looks cool, plus I can add more ProTi bolts to contrast it
oh, also BSD Laser Marking also looks very racing professional.
oh, and not I also remember, if you look closely at the actual button, the BSD buttons are finished in matte color which I like, plus the center of their button is FLAT (for more tactile feel), while the other brands have shiny button with full round surface (no flat area on the center).
Then when I contacted BSD, they were willing to produce a switch with all BLACK button which make me even more excited because I just can't stand the colorful M&M candy look...
So all the above was the reason why I choose BSD.
Now, I was thinking of using BSD for the left side switch too, however, BSD does not have offering that include turn signal and horn function, their offering is fully designed for track bike.
Since I want my bike to have turn signal and horn function because I want my bike to look like a street bike, then I can't replace the left side with BSD. I actually ask BSD if they can produce a version for street use and they say the demand is just not enough to justify their development cost.
I repost the pictures below for your reference:

My custom exhaust.Hi Heroe82,
The ValterMoto stand is a very well made. To bad, they only sell in black color now, used to be Red, Silver and Yellow too (back when I was selling them at my Aprilia distributorship in the early 2000s)
I haven't bought the RCS19 Corsa Corta, but I am open to selling my basically brand new, never been bleed RCS17 Corsa Corta if you are interested , in stock form though, I will take out the ProTi and the Gold pivot that I installed to it but of course cheaper than buying at any online store
Hi Tsaico,
Yes, a good tools make our jobs much easier, I also love good quality tools
Ok, I have quite a few updates
First, I test fit the bracket for Termignoni because the new aluminum spacer and the mounting plate had arrived, I need to test fit again so I can order the correct length ProTi Titanium bolts for this bracket.
The mounting bolts that came with Termignoni silencers is M6 and the mounting plate I bought from Amazon UK (originally for furniture ) have M5 holes, so I get my drill and dremel back in action:
View attachment 3532View attachment 3533
and now it fit the M6 bolts perfectly (again, this bolts will all be replaced by ProTi Titanium of course and this M8 Furniture Plate will also be modified with some nice PAINT on it
View attachment 3534
Next, test fit the M8 Plate, (that center threaded hole on the furniture plate is M8) and the 2 upper bolts spacing fit PERFECTLY to the Termignoni bracket, but the bottom does not, so I just going to use 2 M6 bolts, that is more than enough :
View attachment 3535View attachment 3536
Here is a spread view of each bolt and washer and spacer and Rizoma bracket for this test fit, note that those shiny large washer are REAL Titanium washers:
View attachment 3559
Then I test mount everything. Please note that the Motocorse Japan silencer washer covered only 2 bolts, and there is one nut that is still nut covered with Motocorse style washer/plug.
View attachment 3537View attachment 3538
I am talking about the left silver nut (came from SC-Project) on the left of this picture below, while the right side already have Motocorse... that make it "unbalanced" and need the Motocorse treatment
View attachment 3539
So, I am so glad that today, my Motocorse Ducati MONSTER frame plug order arrived because I plan to use this frame plug as a NUT. So I will need to drill the center hole then TAP it with M8 tap that I bought a few weeks ago. Below is the Motocorse Frame Plug originally for Ducati MONSTER:
View attachment 3540
Since they just arrived today, I haven't had a chance to drill/tap and test fit, but the pictures below show how they would look:
View attachment 3541
It going to looks so much better, and again don't forget those Bolts will be a Gold Color ProTi Titanium Bolt :

This is another view of the bracket from the side during test fit:

Today is a Motocorse day, because my Motocorse Frame Plug for STREETFIGHTER V4 Kit arrived... but why I bought another Motocorse Frame Plug, plus a STREETFIGHTER V4 Kit?
Well because the STREETFIGHTER V4 Kit from Motocorse contain more BOLTS, especially the LOWER ENGINE MOUNTING bolts.
The reason is because on a Streetfighter V4, those lower engine mounting bolts were exposed while for our Panigale V4 it is covered...
but I still feel guilty (even I will not be able to see it after the fairing installed back) that I don't have the lower engine mounting bolt covered evenly like the upper engine mounting bolt, I need to be fair whether it is upper or lower engine mounting bolt... I know I am getting crazy
so here is the picture just for illustration (I haven't had time to install them yet):
If you notice on the right picture, the lower engine mounting bolts have "spacers" because they were more recessed then the upper engine mounting bolts:
View attachment 3547View attachment 3548
Left picture, Left side, Right Picture, Right side (currently I already use Titanium Engine mounting bolts from V4EVO but if I can use Motocorse, then why not :
View attachment 3550View attachment 3549
Oh, the Motocorse Frame Plug STREETFIGHTER V4 kit also came with the 2 small M5 bolts for the radiator frame, so it will replace the current ProTi titanium bolts:

Am I finish for today... not yet... continue on my next post below
That is a beautiful carbon fiber cover for your exhaust, it looks like it came from Ducati factory, very niceMy custom exhaust.
I painted the exhaust cover with matte black for a while from the time of the new car. After that, we replaced it with a carbon cover made of motocomposite, which is no longer available.

However, my preference was that the back end of the exhaust cover should be kept metal. It will soon be three years since I registered my new car and I will have to take the national automobile continuity inspection.
When I replaced it with a genuine OEM exhaust, I tried to realize what I had thought before.

In my country, once every two years (valid for three years in the case of the first new car registration), you take an automobile continuity inspection and unless you pass it, you are not allowed to drive on public roads.
