No just the plastics, but has provision for the wing's. The STD Ducati wing's are crazy expensive and so are a lot of the aftermarket one's but I think they will eventually come down in price.
But you have to flush the system more to avoid rust and winter time you need to drain to avoid freezing.
I can't find any insurers in Australia that cover track days. Many will cover the entry level rider training at the track, but no higher.
Im all ears if anyone can prove me wrong though!

I keep it at my shop/work during winter so no worries about freezing. I drain it every few years
I'm on the fence about buying track fairings. By the time you get a tank cover and get them painted, they are 70% the cost of Ducati OEM fairings.
I like the new V4R style fairings, if I did drop the bike on track with the fairings that came with the bike, I would just replace them with the new style and pay the 30% extra.
They don't seem to have track fairings with wings and gills for the V4/V4S yet.

You can even get "cheap" plastic throw away wings for that starbucks moment.

Track fairings are nowhere close to the price of OEM.
Prep and pain them yourself for almost nothing if you desire paint on them.
Track Fairings are $600-$900.
Throw in tank cover for another $150
OEM fairings are $3,500.
OEM Tank is ??? $2,000
Tank covers only go so far, I buckled my tank in with my elbow when i went down.
Save yourself $2500+ to replace your tank if you know it in during a crash. You don't want to be $5,000+ on just aesthetics. Other things break when you go down besides plastics.
Again, race plastics are repairable, your OEM stuff, not so much.

Shark Skinz makes an R style track fairing set now but they are $1600. Once you get them painted they are nearly the cost of the OEM set. If I was racing my V4 o would go with the Shark Skinz. For trackdays i would stick with the OEM ones then switch to the 2020 style if i crash them. Or buy the OEM kit for $800 and just leave them unpainted.

I use the trak brand light covers. The head light cover is perfect. The tail light is so so. I had to add tape to properly cover the tail light. TrakBrand Light Covers

i'm looking to change the look of my 2020 v4. how's the install and fitment? did you need to drill/dremel anything, or was the install pretty straightforward? pieces fit well?
thanks
