Really nicely done! That looks great, I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe some new pegs or rearsets, but that's it. Perhaps blue brake and clutch levers, but that's all. ;)

Nice!! I see your fairing is melting in the same place as mine though... Thought they would have had that sorted on the 2013s but I guess not.. :(

I have blue shorty levers that I haven't put on yet. I've looked into rearsets but I was thinking rizoma's with the blue pegs but unsure if it is changeable or not. There are no blue rearsets to be found anywhere.

I wouldn't go as far as blue wheels. I actually like the black wheels. I don't want to overkill with the blue since the wheels are so big compared to all the small pieces that I'm changing. I'm sure I'll change some other stuff as I go along.

Side note, I was able to get an order in for the blue decals from my same supplier to replace the red logo on the front mudguard as well as the two small ducati logos on the tail so that should take care of the color mismatching. They should be here in a week or so.

I'm in the same boat, but mine didn't start melting until after the 1st service. I'm at about 3k miles now, but won't get the fairing replaced until it goes in the shop for something (recall, heat shield updates, something...).

My rear mudguard is also melting. It has started to bubble up about the size of my fist. I thought it was wet from a distance until I got up glose and noticed the gloss was melted plastic lol. Damn this heat!

I wonder if the new heatshield causes more heat to be directed down onto the rear mudguard? I have the old heat shield and mine was fine when I pulled it and switched to the carbon one at around 1500 miles. My carbon one looks fine too. Just interesting that yours is melting and I haven't seen that one before, but most people aren't running the new heat shields yet. It will be interesting to see if this complaint pops up more often now that the new bikes are coming with the new shields and more folks are getting them installed on existing bikes as they go in for service.
 
love it looks fantastic. my 2 favorite colors too. If im lucky enough to get an hp4 i may do this instead and have 2 panis

I didn't replace anything. I had no choice but to stick it right over the factory decals due to the clearcoat. The way the decals come, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for you to mess up. You can youtube it and see the guy who puts them on. It makes it super easy and this particular decal is sooo easy to deal with as well in terms of bubbles and imperfections. Flawless application for sure.

Well, unlike most of you on these forums, I was an instant fan of the "primered" Panigale as some of you refer to it. When I found out late last year that the base model would also be released in white, I was all in and couldn't wait. Not that I dislike red but my 2 favorite colors are white and blue. My Evo is white so I may as well get a white bike after my last bike which was a pearl white 2010 675.

Like many of us here, I can't seem to leave any of my "toys" in stock form...Be it my car or motorcycles. Pani is no exception. I don't really intend on making any power mods since the bike is already plenty fast but I definitely intend on changing up a lot of cosmetic pieces on the bike. I've only got a couple of cosmetic pieces put on thus far but it has already transformed the look of the bike in a major way.

I was able to find a guy online who happened to replicate the R decals perfectly and initiated a convo with him about a possible custom color. Due to the language barrier (Italian) it was a tad bit challenging but he got what I was inquiring about. I mentioned to him that I have quite a few Rizoma parts and would like to have a decal set made to match as close as possible to the Rizoma blue color. He said he has an almost perfect match so I went with it sight unseen. It was pretty spendy but I'd do it again in a heartbeat after seeing it in my hands. The finish has a look to it similar to that of the R brushed aluminum finish on the gas tank. The photos really don't do it justice. Since all the gray decals that come on the white panigale's are clearcoated over, I wasn't going to attempt removing them. Therefore, I had to just go ahead and line it up right over the existing decal. This set is precisely cut to match the exact shape and size on the bike so you really can't tell that I've done this unless you are up close. Even then it is pretty difficult to see. You literally have to look for it but the average person would never see it.

I have a long list of parts that are literally just sitting in the box waiting for install but I either lack the necessary tools or the skill set to install some of this stuff and would rather just pay the dealer to install them rather than risk trying it myself. I ordered the entire Proti Titanium bolt/nut kit for this bike but only got around to installing the simple stuff. When I get the other stuff on, I'll update with other photos.

Here's what's installed thus far......
1)Some Proti Titanium bolts
2)CNC Bleed Valve Covers
3)Blue R Decal Set
4)DP Race Seat

Waiting to go on so far......
1)Blue Rizoma Next Fluid Reservoirs - 2 in the front
2)Blue Rizoma Rear Reservoir
3)LED headlight from an S - Waiting on a harness or may just splice wires
4)Smoked Integrated Taillight - Waiting on a tail tidy of some sort
5)Driven D3 Grips - Black grips with blue collars
6)Blue Rizoma Bar Ends
7)Rest of my Proti Nuts & Bolts - Around the hub and sprocket areas
8)Blue Shorty Levers
9)Blue Rizoma Oil Plug


I'm fully aware that we all have different tastes so some will enjoy the photos, others will probably vomit. Either reaction is welcome. I don't get offended. So I'll just shut up for now n throw up some photos.

Enjoy...........or don't :D

Here are a couple of photos of my melted rear mudguard. The glossy surface you see in the two photos are the melted areas. It's tough to get a great photo of it but you get the idea. I have 3 sexy lookin proti bolts holdin down a melted ugly rear hugger lol.
