To anyone who has ordered a 2013: if it comes with these parts and you don't want them, i'll take them off your hands and send you my 2012 header shield.

I don't mind the looks and I really want the heat to go away. I'll take some gorgeous pics of my exposed vertical cylinder head and frame them to my wall to stare at before covering them. :D

I mean it. Keep my number.

Everybody gets them plus a free install, so you will have your own to play with. (cough-wimp) :D
 
By the way, just to clear up some earlier posts of mine. I had stated my dealer said this was a brand new map. Turns out I was the idiot. The only upmap I received was for the termi pipes and I mistakenly thought it was the December upmap I had. So my dealer was not claiming this was a different brand new upmap, but new to me. So this whole time I thought I had the newest map and didn't. Depressing that I'm an idiot, but exciting to have a new mapping to upload. So I don't know if ther is any dispute that this mapping is the same one that's been out.

lol, we all know your are an idiot, so you don't need to go on and on about it! :D

For once, my service guy was right in a latest-news category!
 
Hey, I can say it, you can't ........ ;)

And yeah, it is cool to have more mapping. It's like waking up thinking it's thursday, but it turns out it's friday. Bonus!

Hello
I've seen the new heat shield today at SwissMoto Show
on a 1199R in Switzerland.
It looks exactly like the picture earlier in this thread.
- pretty big, but not too bad in my opinion.
I will try it...

with this my mods for the Season 2013 are complete:
Heat shield
Softer springs
41 sprocket
Rizoma rear set
ceramic coating for the exhaust

You didn't take pics for your fellow members?

I'm really curious why Ducati felt the need for the extra cover by your calves. Especially with the head cover + the new heat shield which looks larger at the top + appears to be multi-layered. That's the thing that makes it so hideous.

I wonder if a mod of the new heat shield + cutting that whole area would result similar enough results.

As with any mass market manufacturer, Ducati has to make it met mass specs. Cutting that might yield only a 5 or 10 degree difference which would be acceptable to most of us.

IDK if the header heat covers are a good idea, both of my valve covers have sprung leaks, it'd tale even longer to ID them.

Same... in the Philippines....Hot warm weather we have here...This is the only ...... thing I hate about my "S"...its the Darn Heat from that horse-shoe header under the subframe.

Cant wait to install the mod from Ducati...Though I wont install the cover that goes over the rear cylinder...most of the heat comes from the horseshoe coiled header underneath the seat...gave me blisters before on my right inner thigh.

I informed my dealer...and they know about the heatshield upgrade... cant wait!

Think I will wait for that to be made in CF then put it on my Pani.
 
We will all eventually grow into the new heatshield design...
Its black anyway and wont be noticed that much...

The Panigale no matter what, is still one of...if not, the best looking sportbike out in the market...That simple heatshield extension will not devastate its looks...

For Panigale owners in cold weather countries....you guys dont need to do this Mod. (lucky guys)

For us Pani owners who leave in hot climates...this Mod is a must. (the unlucky ones)
 
There it is, 1199 r with the new heat shield. Not the carbone one :(
My friend was at Montreal Bike Show and send me this pic. You can see the new heat shield a little bit. But according to me its not elegant on the R...

So bulky, it's what bothers me most about it. The rear cylinder head cover is a no-no.
