I am in front of several computers pretty much 7/24 off and on - so this was a perfect storm for me (bad storm), before that, multiple trips to the fridge for diet coke :D

Fair enough..

What is AR's policy with regards to Woots situation in particular?? Is he on his own re the Fairing damage?? Are you saying this is a fitment by his tech issue??

My fairing appeared to be melted slightly already by stock pipe. PeoTwin did a really good job when installed spacers on the fairing mount and added a spacer on the brake lever to allow them to bring it out further, plus the use of heat tape. Having run it this weekend on road and track I haven't noticed deterioration. (But as usual haven't checked since I returned!)
 
One has to wonder if fairing discoloration or burning in that area will be an issue for all Panis in the future, no matter the exhaust. Does anyone know if AntiHero has the burning issue. Pretty sure his update was done during his coast to coast ride but not sure if he noticed anything since returning to Cali and prior to the hit and run...

I'd say that everyone should keep a close eye on it, and examples like WAF need to report it to Ducati even if its minor. Just like the oil sight hole, maybe they'll make slight fairing adjustments if it is determined to be important. And the only way they'll know is if we make them aware.

There is already a warranty fix for the fairing.

I had my LRS fairing replaced and the rubber spacer that the LRS fairing rests against which is 8mm will be replaced with one that is 11.5mm.

Don't think Ducati will warrant it with an after market exhaust so put your original on for the warranty claim.
 
Yes it's starting to dawn on me that I would probably have been better off buying the Termi headers to go with my Slips and then getting Justin/Wayne to tune. All the negativity around the full system on release was never really counteracted by positive coverage of the systems performance with the new map and I'd not seen a dyno chart until the last couple of weeks. Anyway what's another $1900 between me and my Ducati dealer! I'll wait until after the dyno session on 6th May and then make a call but I'm already reconciling myself to this as a potential end result.


Given this quote from Waf... an existing customer with no axe to grind I wonder what you have to say Rich??

STW, to use an old english adage, put a sock in it!

I'd rather my posts weren't used as ammunition for other people's battles. I want to be able to share my thoughts as they occur without worrying about them coming back to haunt me like this.

The comments were made in context of the previous post in that thread and were a spontaneous reaction to that members comments at a time when I was feeling a bit dark about the process.

Rich, and everyone else here, is well aware of my search for the promised performance gains but I can't discuss this freely with other members if every time I post it gets used in this way. When I've been through the process I set out then I'll be sure to make my feelings very clear either way and allow them to make an objective judgement based on my experience, both pros and cons.

So Trauma... Based on this we can expect you never to raise any issues on here?? :p

I may my own, but I'll never fight others for them, unless they aren't here (cough:Akra,Mummy) :) I have actually been laying low on AR since we cleaned this up. I have decided this whole exhaust thing is what it is.
