That is VERY NICE, especially the way they print the word "SPECIAL PARTS" like it got bended by the fast rotation of the nut

Ducati Performance Tall windscreen
I usually do a clear screen but my local Ducati shop had both in stock so I was able to compare them side by side. The smoke one isn't that dark so I went with it.
P.S. The screen came in with some scratches on it so I did polish them out lol.

After all the hours of prep and getting the bike dialed in it was finally ready to hit the streets. I didnāt just want to take some iPhone pictures so I hired a pro photographer to shoot it.
This one is my favorite the āRossiā look back lmao

Ducabike Top Triple install
Hello All,
I have a install guide for the Ducabike top triple clamp. You can use this for other brands as well. This is how I did it.
Tools needed
3mm Allen
4mm Allen
6mm Allen
Small Electronics flathead Screwdriver
Torque Wrench
Rubber mallet
Steering stem special tool
Piece of round or flat wood. or (brute strength lol)
You will need a few things.
V4 V4S V4 Speciale V4R
Ducabike Top Triple I ceramic coated mine so it will stay nice
Some tools like these
Remove the battery cover and ignition cover
Now to remove the triple clamp bolts
On the brake lever side you will need to loosen this bolt because the reservoir is blocking access.
Clutch lever side has just enough room
If you have a V4S or Speciale you will need to remove the electronic suspension connectors.
Lift the rubber boot
Heres were you use the small flat head depress the tabs slides out
Should look like this

I couldn't budge it so I opted for a round piece of wood. I placed it under the triple and gave it a few taps on each side until it was free.
Now use the special tool remove the steering stem nut
P.S. why is there so much grease lol clean the area that doesn't need it.
Replace with your shiny need Ducabike Stem Nut torque to spec
Now on to install the top clamp. The clipons have a notch
This tab goes in the notch
Once you get it on a few taps with a rubber mallet to seat it. Torque bolts to spec
Re install the stuff you removed
Then admire your work

My Ducati Performance Carbon tank protector was peeling from day one so the dealership replaced it. The second one I installed and it did the same thing. I know I installed it correctly so I think the carbon ones are just bad. So I got the other option.
I cleaned the area then prepped it with a alcohol base paint prep spray you can use 60-90% rubbing alcohol as a substitute.
The template it comes with is pretty cool
I used some 3M adhesion promoter so it will stay put.

Ducati Performance Carbon battery cover
I love the way this looks. It brings a bit of contrast to all the red paint. Also gives me Motogp vibes with the vents.
I ceramic coated it with a matte coating so its protected without adding any gloss.
While I was picking up that super cool battery cover I ran into this.
I know there are mixed feelings about the winglets I personally think they are friggin awesome.
I always felt the MV Agusta F4 was the most beautiful bike ever made. Now I have relegated the F4 to second place. Bravo Ducati

LUCKILY (for my wallet), the "Ducati Performance" logo on the Front Carbon Fiber Fender is on the rear/back side of the fender so not visible unless I bow down and took a peek,
otherwise, I would be forced to purchased it since my Ducati factory carbon fiber fender that came with my bike (despite the same exact shape and finish) does not have that "coveted" logo

Ilmberger Matte Carbon Tail
I wanted to break up some of the red and add a bit of style.
So I removed the factory tail section so I could remove this rubber insert.
Install it here in the new carbon tail.
The fit was spot on
I felt the carbon would be too plain so I bought 2 different factory decals
I decided to stick with the brush silver factory V4 Ducati decals. Notice how the stickers have a "tail" with a curve on them. Im sure its to help the factory workers line up the stickers with the curvature of the fairing. Pretty cool.
Got the decals on. Now we ceramic coat to protect it.
Finished look

Hi HKMP7,Futurismoto Rear Blinkers
This really cleans up the rear of the bike
Replaced the bolts that came with these for some Ti ones.
The Futurismoto rear blinker is very nice, does it a plug and play ? or does it require resistor? It looks like it has several LED per side, is this correct? They must be brighter than the stock blinker.Thanks
Plug n play no resistors. Its 1 very bright led per side and a small plate light led. Definitely brighter than stock.
