Everyone one is in love with their phone and cannot be burdened. Basic Object Personification Synesthesia.

I happened on these adapters but I need to see if they are the right ones for both the anodized and plastic reservoirs . Motive type bleeders make bleeding a breeze 99% of the time.

Hi Everyone,
Checking-in from Bay Area, California.
Got my V2 back in May and I am on 990miles as of now. Break-in service done. Absolutely, loving it.

THE WEIRD ISSUE
In May end, I got rear-ended while standing at a red-light. The rear sub frame was busted and so was the tail lamp and the whole rear assembly.
Thankfully the repair was covered by the insurance (had to wait for a month for the repairs and the wait was painful).
But after I got it back, I spotted this thing below the tail lamp.

As you can see in the pictures, the black frame is glued to the tail lamp by a double sided tape and it is coming off.

Question 1: Is it how it is supposed to be? glued using a double sided 3M tape? or did the Ducati service did a half-assed job?

Question 2: Have any of you guys had the same issue?

I brought this to the attention of the service tech and he put a new tape which is again coming off.

Thanks

I don’t know about double sided tape, but there definitely should be no gap in that area

Yours looks perfectly flushed with no gap. Definitely there is no double sided tape there.

Seems like they did a half-assed job on my motorcycle. Not Good.

DucatiKev · Jul 5, 2020

Very not good. See if they can make it right and do it while you wait there... downtime is also very not good when you buy a brand new vehicle

if u look closely, I modified my NRC fender eliminator to tuck into that rubber pouch like the factory whale tail license plate holder. I didn’t think it would be trustworthy mouthing with 2 bolts and nothing else

V_Desmo · Jul 5, 2020

Thanks @DucatiKev & @That_Guy for sharing the pictures.

I will surely get back to them and ask for the real fix. I am so sad that, after charging all that crazy money for service and labour, they did this to me.
I even laughingly asked them if this is how the two pieces are joined on this expensive motorcycle. They said, yes it is joined using a double sided tape.

Sorry to hear about those issues. Sad that customer service has gone downhill across the board with many companies these days but that is pretty bad to let that go out of the dealership. Good luck to getting it fixed like it should be

Mine

Have you had the plastics off your bike yet? It comes apart and goes back together very nicely. I’m not daring enough to say that it’s perfect, but the panel gaps are always perfect when I’m done reinstalling the body.

thomasmryan · Jul 6, 2020

lol...you made me go look. no tape on mine and it does have a gap on one side. it might have a lot to do with tightening the piss out of tail bag straps.

what was that line from cannonball? ..'it's Italian, what's behind you doesn't matter'

What size, 16mm?

thomasmryan · Jul 19, 2020

I will see which size when I get home. An Allen might work but they are triple squares
