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)...

Thats no good both would look nice. So either way it will enhance the tail section.

Hmmm where in AZ are you @HKMP7? Trying to find detailers here in Houston for bikes is few and cannot get any shops that want to apply XPEL... Waiting for one last company, to reply, before I start widening the search

@HKMP7 you're in AZ? Where at?
Gilbert here

Nice.

Had them deliver it out to Gilbert

Ti hardware

More Ti bolts for the V4. I was torn on which pinch bolts I wanted. So I bought both I ended up going with the Proti because they matched the others.

Aella Sidestand assist

Love how the burnt Ti matches the Akrapovic pipes.

Wow the TI looks great. Where did you get that?

Got the proti from them directly.
The others came from local Ducati shop.
The Motocorse bolts are for sale PM if interested.

First change I made was the Aella Ti sidestand pin. I still rub the fairings putting the sidestand down, but nowhere near as bad as the stock pin

Stickers!

After installing the carbon set pad the tail section was looking a bit plain. I felt like it needed a splash of color. I have a buddy that has a wrap shop and here's what I came up with.

Measurements from the stock seat pad

Proof of the die cut decal

End result

That’s classy. I love that tail section. Question for u, at night does the rear tail light bleed through the front part of ur tail like it does with the factory plastics?

Not nearly as much because of the dark color.

This is a simple install right? Looks almost too good to be true
