V2 Addons

Trizzle2929 · Jul 17, 2020

Anyone know if these will work on the V2? I know it says universal just want to make sure RIZOMA "STREET" PROGUARD LEVER PROTECTION SYSTEM. Doesn't seem like I will need an adaptor for these either.

Also, am I the exception for wanting to run double lever guards on the V2?

the stock V2 bar ends are M14 or so. similar to the Aprilia

U need the inserts for the Rizoma lever protector...
I'm planning to run both sides too.

@Panigalev2r ended up getting Evotech >>>>evos.

They come as a set and no additional parts needed. If these end up being great plan on switching everything to Evo for my protection except the sliders.

Anyone have thoughts on front and rear spindle bobbers? I’m seeIng mixed comments that they do protect and no they are point less.

Ya ...i was planning to get Evotech too until i saw the ones by DBRace...

I'm getting the front spindle bobbers just for the looks...not for the function...
As for the rear...i think it gets in the way for rear stand.

I figured extra protection wouldn’t hurt. Hoping it’s an easy on off for chain cleaning days

that’s good stuff, so is Motul and I like ProtectAll. But maybe spray some WD40 in there or some spray on “ceramic” super slick coating. Otherwise Ti bolts!
I just emailed NRC. We’ll see

Any word back from NRC, Kev?

I looked at the install diagram and called Probolt. They have m6x16, m5x15, and m6x10 in Ti and aluminum.

I placed an order over the phone when I called them to use for when my NRC kit arrives from moto million. (It’s been close to a month *sigh*)

“That's odd. Those should all be powder coated and last much longer than that, even in rain.”

I guess powder coating doesn’t keep bolts that would otherwise rust from rusting. I think the NRC accessories are very good but the bolts is a big set back.
but good news otherwise is Futureismoto is cranking out mirror block off turn signals are license plate holders but they don’t have a good solution to illuminate the plate in the tucked position, where the NRC license plate lamp is very good

I just don’t see how NRC doesn’t know their bolts rust. AM I really the first one to bring this to their attention

ethanvanorton · Jul 20, 2020

Lol, yea you can’t be the only one whose noticed that.

I bet it has to do with keeping costs down or something. I’m not buying in volume, but the Ti bolts cost $6 a pop so it may be adding a few bucks to the kit cost.

Minor correction:
The 36 mm twelve pts socket mentioned previously was for a 959.
The Panigale V2 Single Sided Swing Arm would most likely be the larger 55 mm typically used on the other Ducati's with a SSSA.
Buy a "steel" socket tool as you will need to torque the rear to 230 NM and one where both socket sizes are on the same side as it's a better fit for your breaker bar or impact wrench.

Can anyone confirm if the rear is indeed a 55mm? I just ordered the CNC axle socket they have on their site for the V2 and it’s 36mm and 30mm. What DarR says makes sense that it’d be 55mm rear like the other SSA bikes.

What I ordered:

Socket drive tool for front and rear wheel nuts DUCATI

Two socket drive tools in one for wheel nuts, machined from solid in light alloy with following hard surface anodizing.- Polygonal 36 mm - Hexagonal 30...

They add a lot of unsprung weight which serious riders spend thousands to reduce.
If you have a get-off, you'll have a lot more damage elsewhere which will result in an insurance claim.

I do a lot of open road riding, canyons, highway, side streets, etc.. For me piece of mind justifies the $100 I spent for both front and rears. Clutch lever guards will come in handy when I lane split (I should have those on Mon).

The EVO slider sets are not heavy at all. IMO I think it's a good buy, can't go wrong, also makes the rear tire pop.

Can you check the links? They don't work..thanks!

Looks like they raised the price for the tripe square - Amazon.com: VIM Tools VIM-XZN614 Xzn14 Triple Square 12pt One Piece Impact Driver, 3/8 Sq Drive: Automotive

if the link for the trip square won't work search this in google - VIM Tools VIM-XZN614 Xzn14 Triple Square 12pt One Piece Impact Driver, 3/8 Sq Drive

Pro grips - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0074Y3R6E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

After a couple sessions riding the throttle felt really laggy, so I swapped back to stock. I let it dry 24hrs and gave it 3 rides but it seemed off, maybe too much cushion threw off my senses. Will revisit grips again after I take a spin on the stocks tomorrow. Really bummed cause the comfort was nice.

Last comment about axle sliders/bobbers:
In addition to the unsprung weight they add, you have to remove it from the rear axle to mount your bike on the rear stand.
I clean my chain (and rims) following each ride day. Having to un-bolt and remove the bobber each time would be a PITA.

I am on the 500 mile interval on chain cleaning....4-5 rides.
