trying something new to quell the heat

Chaotic said:

Ordering ANYTHING carbon fiber from Ducati is a ....... ripoff. They charge 3-5x what other companies charge for the exact same thing.

Ordering a CF subframe from Ducati, that is a special part on a special model...good lord...my ass hurts just thinking about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they would want $2500 for that subframe.

Spoke to Ducati and the Superleggeras subframe is $6K and I think that was my price not retail. Lol, didn't want to fix the heat that bad.

Shame the shiftech one is race only and incorporates the fairings, if it just replaced the OEM unit id be all over one.

cdt/shifttec have a street version which is more money. I emailed the manufacturer and asked them how they tested it and asked for weight comparisons.

From memory it was about 2500USD or Euro I cannot remember. will try to hunt up the email

Exhaust on my 15R is a lot better than the 14R. No metal heat shield underneath the carbon heat shield and titanium headers don't seem to trap the heat so bad in traffic, its a lot better.

The solution would be a carbon subframe like the superleggera that wouldn't absorb the heat like the alloy one does but nobody makes one. Can you buy the superleggera one or does cost and fitting make it not a viable option?
