Hello everyone! Glad to be apart of this group. I just purchased a 2023 Panigale V4 S. This is my first ducati I’ve ever bought. Want to make sure it’s protected. Was looking into sliders for fork and rear axle. Can’t seem to find one that specifies 2023. Especially any frame sliders. Wanted to verify they are the same fit. Also any other recommendations would be very helpful as a first time owner would be greatly appreciated! I am getting a clear bra put on the second I bring it back to town. Thanks all glad to be here!
 
Sliders for the frame aren't really recommended but if it's for a 2020 and newer Panigale V4 it should work. Fork sliders are all the same. The tanks are different with the 2022+ bikes, so some PPF kits will be different.

Look into GB Racing for clutch and sator covers which will protect it in a slide. The carbon fiber ones, unless they are reinforced someone won't stand up in a slide.
 
If you like testing limits then consider getting some race fairings and putting those new ones away for when you sell. Also get some rearsets, some say fixed pegs are what you want, the OEM ones are not the best in a crash
 
Fixed pegs on the track where a slide is your most likely damage source. Anecdotally, there's some protection to be offered with fixed pegs and the under belly exhaust in that low side scenario.

On the street, I'd use folding pegs because the most likely damage is a tip over.
 

That stuff and some axle sliders and you are pretty good.

If you are going to track look into the Mellotti stuff



The dashes and the bracket that the steering dampener attaches to in the stock positions doesn’t survive well and breaking either put the bike out of commission for awhile.
