thats why i park right on the sidewalk of the front door & somewhere hopefully within eye site.
 
Just got the damage report: $4700. Both fairings, front fairing, kick stand, lower triple and all the little bits that break at the clip-on level.

Looks like I'll be ordering up a mix of aftermarket and stock stuff.

Lightspeed levers coming in soon. Woodcraft Clipons will replace the stockers. Considering the three body panels I need to replace cost about the same as a full Bestem kit, I'll toss the question out to you all: what parts would you go with?

Wow, $4700 for what sounds like superficial damage. The pleasure of owning a Ducati! I'm glad there was no engine case or structural damage though.

I have only read about the Bestem CF and all has been good. But, I'm partial to the Ducati red, so my vote would be keep it stock. I was looking at the Woodcraft clip ons awhile back and like the fact that they have different sized risers. I was either going to go with a set of those or have someone cut down the DP race seat. I feel like my cog is over the dash and it's uncomfortable. I think your choice of either of those is good, they make quality products.

+1. I totally agree with Bronch, keep the fairing Ducati stock red ... the Ducati red Panigale looks magnificent, give the Bestem CF fairing a miss.

Just my two cents .. I would suggest you consider getting some Sato Racing frame sliders and the black windshield as per Bronch's bike - it looks proper badass.
 
I'll most likely just go with stock red fairings. But ya can't say this isn't bad ass!

Has me thinkin'....
 
+1000 on the the black/gray/cf/alum corse bodywork. It'll make your bike look like the decepticon of panigales...
 
clutch case damage?

#1, so sorry to see what happened. #2, I have the Sato engine/clutch case slider with suspension support, but I'm considering the GB racing clutch cover.
-What do you think? Overkill?
-Did the fall touch your clutch case at all?

I have a good friend that is a service writer at a bike shop. First of all when it comes to bikes, it's always replace not repair. They have written off a lot of bikes just because there was a scratch on the frame. Take the cost of replacing a major part + labour involved, and it's usually not worth it for the insurance company to repair it. Then there's all the what if's, are the wheels damaged but not visible, is the sub frame tweaked slightly but not visible, etc etc.

OEM fairings are always expensive, the manufacturer matters not. The quote also includes the labour, and any Ducati dealership isn't going to have the cheapest shop rate in town that's for sure.

I agree with you. Its just amazing how much it cost for what was essentially a tip over.
