Can you get your hands on this, or are we all doomed to be ordering from the UK?

Might be able to find authorized dealers in the US but I noticed they don't carry all the Zircoflex material. It's either level I, but not II or III

Seems like even level I could be better than anything else out there currently available.
 
Thanks man
I think they go well with my theme.

Im trying to save a bit of weight while adding some style.

HK,
Did you by chance weigh the OEM rear sets against the new gia moto ? My main focus is on weight reduction. BTW I enjoy your thread. Cheers

I didn’t weigh them to me they fall into the necessary protection category. Like case savers and fork sliders. So I know I will add some weight to the bike.
 
Ducati Performance Rizoma levers

I wasn't in love with the stock levers so I opted for these. They feel quite a bit better and I like the low drag folding lever. The Ducati logo is a nice touch and the little red accent on the adjuster is cool.

I have a friend that's a Ducati tech so I asked him for any tips on the exhaust install. He said "Why don't I just do it for you?"
Don't threaten me with a good time so I loaded it up as quickly as I could lol.

A hour later I came back with this. Anytime I do any recalls or service I bring the bike naked so there is no chance of scratching the fairings.

Ducati Performance Carbon generator cover

Stock bolt vs bolt that comes with the kit

Good morning HKMP7,
Do you remember how long is the longer bolt that came with the Ducati Performance Carbon Generator Kit?
Is it 35mm or 40mm?
I want to order ProTi bolts to replace it, however, my Ducati Performance Carbon Generator Kit have not arrive yet... so I don't know the length of the longer bolts.
Thanks

I think they are 35mm but don't remember I can measure it later and let you know.
 
Akrapovic Installed
The install went smooth the only hiccup was getting the up map loaded. Had some issues getting the bike synced to the Ducati mothership.

After getting the map loaded had a Dyno appt. Bike made just over 200hp 89lb ft. For comparison same dyno my 16' S1000rr with full Akra and BMW up map made 191hp 82lb ft. So all and all Im happy with the look the sound and performance.

Looking good!

Out of curiosity, what's the diameter of the Akra piping vs the stock piping?

I have zero clue on pipe size but weight saved was 13lbs. The sound tho wow. After the upmap the quick shifter cracks on the up shifts :p . That has to be my favorite part that alone was worth the price of admission.

Thanks, trying to decide if the $5500 full exhaust + $1k install + $400 fairing are worth it over the Akra slip ons. Not worrying about the weight reduction, if the only benefit is less than 5hp difference I'd be hard pressed to consider the extra $2k worth it... in my opinion that is
