My R is being prepped as I'm posting. The Termis, odds and ends from my S are being installed. Can't wait!
btw... Mine didn't come with the left side(generator) CF protector... Only the right. I thought it was supposed to. How about you guys?

Only on the right.
Did anyone notice how the factory is dealing with the melting fairings from the termis? I took a look and they've done two things:
1: banged in the outer pipe radius at the spot closest to the plastic with a hammer of sorts to flatten it out.
2: new mounting site for rear fairing bolt and a larger rubber grommet at the place closest to the pipe as well.
Congrats dude!
When you decide to get a RS13 let me know and I'll buy your R.
That might be a while! ...at least a few months
From a very reliable source, I am informed that there will be more versions of the Panigale to follow

Aren't these bikes hand-assembled in Ducati's Corse division? So, I think they would take offense at your use of the word banged... The carefully adjusted the outer pipe radius!

Yes! I stand corrected
perhaps in order to not offend the Ducati Godz; please allow me to rephrase point #1: the outer radius of the terminal turn at the end of the starboard exhaust header was gently massaged by trained factory technicians into a new contour consisting of a more planar configuration at the section most likely to contact the outer plastic fairing. Thus, hopefully minimizing the potential thermal effects on said plastic enclosure.Yes! I stand corrected
Are you a politician??
RSR - also watch out that the new heat shield has a new attachment point (holes by the rear brake bracket). If you switch out to rear sets, that rubber/plastic additional attachment may or may not fit with a different rear set. I believe mine is now free hanging as it doesn't fit with mine.

It's huge. More impressive in person. The stock exhaust is super heavy... Worth the upgrade in weight savings alone.

ddd269: Thx for sharing the pictures. I had mine delivered a few weeks back, but did not have time to go to the dealer to get pics of the prep. Great pics by the way.
Thank you! I just stopped by to see what the progress was on my bike and found her totally naked like that. I didn't even get to see my S like that. I'm so psyched about the R.
I just realized that I was thread jacking. Didn't mean to takeaway anything from the OP.
Will post more pictures in a new thread.
Peace! ^^
