Track day bodywork opinions

Good morning from the U.S. east coast. I have a 2018 V4S and track the bike about 3-4 times a year. Meaning I don't want to go full blown track bike. I still like to ride her on the street from time to time. I'm looking at different types of track fairings brands. I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on this subject. Fitting, tail and headlight issues, tank cover, direct air intake, ground clearance, etc. These are the three retailer I've looked at so far. I'm staying away from full carbon due to the high cost.
1. Ducati Omaha; have stock unpainted fairings but they do not sell unpainted lowers for the stock exhaust, I do not plan to add an exhaust.
2. Bikesplast; have a nice set of unpainted fairings but the air intake and tail light housings either need to be changed or modified. Racing Fairing Kit – Ducati V4 2018 – BIKESPLAST
3. MotoXPricambi; many different sets of painted an unpainted fairing for street and track. Again unsure about the taillight and air intake. Ducati Panigale V4 -V4 S - Speciale 2018 - 2019

Sharkskins are definitely an option:

The headlights are surprisingly expensive, and are fairly likely to be damaged in a crash, if you can remove them for a trackday, it would be worthwhile.
I believe the Ducati ones would suit you well, as there's a headlight blank kit to go with them when in track, then swap the lights for the blank kit when back on the road.
In my experience, the exhaust makes the bike more responsive and gives much greater drive in midrange, definitely adds to the experience. And, there're some quieter ones available if noise is an issue.

If you get a full Bikesplast set, they come pre-installed with Dzus fasteners. Makes removal and installation insanely quicker. Life changing. I could completely remove and reinstall my fairings probably 5-6 times in the amount of time it takes to remove OEM fairings.

I always struggled with putting OEM headlight fairings back on. Is it just me?

Is that what you’re running - bikesplast?

Yeah, with the SBK tail section option.

MotoXP. Fit and finish good, lightweight. Paint was excellent.

Does anyone know if there is a one piece belly pan available that will work with stock sides and akra exhaust? (2019 V4S) fairings?

I ending up ordering the Ducati Omaha ABS fairings and found stock lowers on ebay. Using touchup direct to match the paint. They sell rattle can base and clear. Going to piss off the wife when I paint themI keeping thinking about the headlight housing because I have already cracked the tailight housing within the first three months of owning the bike.
I'm going to keep the stock exhaust, I really don't need more power. my focus has been suspension setup for better front tire feel. I dropped the forks 1mm in the trees and raised the rear ride height to 318mm. Also added heavier fork springs. I'm hunting for the mid corner feel I used to really enjoy with my old 1988 FZR 1000. Which had .... suspension compared to Francesca

I really like these fairings. Thanks for posting all the previous photos on a different post. I ending up going Ducati Omaha because I still intend to ride her on the streets from time to time and I wasn't very sure about the air intake arrangement that you must purchase for these fairings. Call me lazy as I get older the stock abs is a drop in replacement but to your point very time consuming to remove and install, which is a wonderful beer drinking exercise.

The side fairings? I use a magnet to hold the two forward fasteners. This helps me with the struggle of getting them together correctly. I'm sure I will eventually break one of the fairing mount holes. It's a crap design.
