I spent quite a bit of time removing anything that said Ducati or any other branding until my sponsorship check gets here. I’ll check the mail again Tuesday. I’m sure the check is in there.

Oddly enough, I do the same with 4 wheeled vehicles, but on my bikes I kinda like it... not sure why
 
That’s so funny, I’m a logos off type of guy. I even spent the 20 minutes removing the DOT sticker from my helmet.

when I first got the 1299S I thought there were way to many Ducati logos on it so the sticker on the CF front mudguard came off. I think for me I just don’t want anyone to know anything.
That’s y I laughed when u wrote “people ask what it is and I tell them “it’s a motorcycle””
 
I’m actually quite fascinated by branding from a psychological perspective. I see some of these trucks with 20 lbs of nonsense stuck to the side of it. What possible relevance is there in letting other motorists know what motor or transmission your vehicle has? I just don’t get it.

some ppl put lots of stickers on their bikes and it’s fine whatever but I thought it had too many B4 they put any extras on. I guess the marketing decals are cooler than some of the bumper stickers “=“
 
Hey if your getting contingency money. Great. If you are getting paid to advertise a brand, great. If you advertising your buddy’s biz to help out, or better yet your own company, great. To plaster a vehicle with branding for no reason and In many cases not even running anything from the brand? I’m lost. I wear logo shirts of my own companies almost exclusively. Plug for RD16RR. Their shirts rock.

come on these brainwashing institutions (colleges) get the kids to buy their hooded sweatshirts for $80, nbd. It’s trendy, wear ur mask
 
I’d do a 2 tone Plasti dip job on the v4. Harley Davidson orange over black. Might even see a Harley logo on there. At least their T shirt sales are keeping that company alive

Of all the different wet clutch cover I had seen, this is the nicest looking one !!!

It's so professionally designed and I love the symmetrical and technical looking. Even the way it curve 3 dimensionally to the side and to the surface.
 
Yeah it looks awesome
The guy that makes their stuff is very detail oriented. So it was definitely first on my list.

Ilmberger seat pad

This flows a lot better with the carbon tail than the factory plastic seat pad. Coated as usual with a matte coating. The fit was spot on.

Hi HKMP7,
Yes, this fit your carbon tail very well.
Also, may I know whether this is the cover version or the full carbon assembly version?
I was told by Peter Lieb that the full carbon assembly version sometimes not accurate enough so hard to fit on the bike, that is why he only offer cover version.
But of course, I prefer the full carbon assembly version if Ilmberger make it very precisely.
Thanks

This is indeed full carbon.
Fitment was like stock.

Ouch... I should buy the Ilmberger full carbon version like yours, unfortunately, I only bought the cover version from Peter Lieb...
this is sad (for me)...
