You arent going to find any of these parts for sale. the scumbags that did it are probably going to buy an ignition and a frame elsewhere and then rebuild your bike on the new frame and ignition and they have themselves a 45,000 bike for $7k. My last part out experience I had some VERY shady characters trying to buy my frame and ignition but I refuse to sell to people I thought were going to use it for a stolen bike.
My friends HP4 went from N.J. to Florida where it was tripped. I’d imagine your bike will find its way to Southern California.
Keep us informed if motocorsa does in faceless make it right (I’m 99.9999999% sure they will). on the bright side you’re getting a brand new bike!

Pardon the horrendous spelling here... don’t type and drive.
 
Thanks for the comment MdDuc! I'd bet that I never see the bike again and you are quite possibly right. At this point, frames and ignitions are readily available in the secondary market. Woe be the rider if I ever see anyone on the bike though! I watch YouTube as well but the only time I have seen my bike is in my videos and in my friend's videos. Waiting to see it in some UAE crazy riding video...
 
Another good reason why you should take note of your bikes engine serial number. To my knowledge NO states or insurance companies track engine serial numbers but in situations like this you can always keep your eye on eBay engines and see if numbers match up. I’ve always been shocked the insurance carriers I’ve used don’t document engine serial numbers for motorcycles, yet when it comes to boats (at least on I/I’d like I have) they record the engine serial number as well as the outdrive Serial number and it’s put right on the title. Anyway, I hope you’re back on two’s soon. ...... situation.
 
Well I know that the VIN number is engraved on the engine block. It isn’t readily visible either. At this point it matters little as I have signed the title over to the insurance company.
As for the dry clutch, I’m no Ducati purest either. The V4S was the first Ducati I’ve ever ridden. I rode an 1098 Corse and it rode like trash compared to mine. The clutch was so much heavier and it didn’t feel nearly as stable. I’ll buy an electric Ducati if they can make one that is faster and lighter than the V4S with at least 100 mile range and sub 30 minute charge time.
 
Well guys and gals, they did it. They stuck to their word and replaced my bike and made me whole. I am the proud owner of the Nicky Hayden Tribute V4S. New 2019, every single piece that my 2018 had on it plus the NH69 tank, clamp, custom farings, Rotobox Bullet wheels, Evotech tank protector, Rizoma Gas cap (not pictured but installed), Peter Lieb carbon seat pad and headlight bracket covers, and I replaced the custom painted plastic front fender with a carbon front fender painted the same.
They stuck to their word, did everything they said they would, and finished the bike yesterday. There will be a ton of pics in the very near future.
