Over time that black anodising (I'm guessing it's anodised?), the plastic brake light, and the whole undertail area will cop a sand blasting. Are there any coatings or other protective options that are worthwhile for these areas?
I've put clear bra on tail lights before but I've also had several bikes with out it and the light survived. So I don't think its 100 percent necessary

Fail.
Apparently I'm not the only person that has lost one of these caps. So much so Ducati changed it they now have a metal washer built in. Smh.
New superseded part on the left old part on the right.

Like what you've done to the office.

Where do those caps go on the bike? I pick up my v4s tomorrow so don't know my way around it just yet.

These are the caps that go on the inside of the upper fairing. They hold the mirror on and cover up the connector for the blinkers in the mirror.

Ilmberger Matte Carbon Tail
I wanted to break up some of the red and add a bit of style.

So I removed the factory tail section so I could remove this rubber insert.

Install it here in the new carbon tail.

The fit was spot on

I felt the carbon would be too plain so I bought 2 different factory decals

I decided to stick with the brush silver factory V4 Ducati decals. Notice how the stickers have a "tail" with a curve on them. Im sure its to help the factory workers line up the stickers with the curvature of the fairing. Pretty cool.

Got the decals on. Now we ceramic coat to protect it.

I love a black back end. When the cop behind you radios to the cop in front of you, it’ll be for a black race bike, but the cop ahead won’t stop you cause he’ll see a red one

that is a fine piece of carbon
 
considering a R brushed tank.

That would Compliment your bike nicely!

see, if $$ was no object and I could spend the $4,K plus for the R tank, I’d probably have it custom painted partly in Ducati Red but also leave a lot exposed/brushed aluminum. same goes for the Carbon Fiber battery cover on top the gas tank: leave some carbon exposed but accent it with Ducati Red

the exposed carbon on ur tail is so stealth I love it

Yeah thats what I was thinking as well. I dont want to do all carbon again. The body lines get lost with the dark color.

This is my all carbon ZX10R 378 lbs wet 192Hp built motor no traction control death machine. The carbon tail and tank are in the box in the background. This is circa 2004
Jaret campisi who. Ive been doing the lightest fastest superbikes on the road before youtube lol jk.

I love carbon. I don’t really love red, the Ducati’s look good red but all of them are red. Some ppl think they need to be red but I think mine needs to be wrapped in custom colours. Look at the job Rehab detailing did on 650ibs new vette
