Wow nice video. That was very very sexy. Dripping.
Great work. I like the color design around the tank vents. The rearsets, those wheels... Nice collection.
Have you ridden it since completion? It's like a girl with way too much shiny lipstick that needs to get kissed.

No not yet. It still needs the 'Xpel' PPF film to be fitted and an MOT test to be carried our (roadworthiness certificate for every UK vehicle over 3 years old) despite the fact it's never been ridden and has only 12 miles on the clock since new in 2018. Oh well, them's the breaks. I have also got to get the Akra map, software updates and the DMS module activated at the dealer, but that is all minor stuff.

Read through this thread and dang… what if you were left with an extra bolt at the end?
Next thing to do is drop the engine and blueprint it

More important is not to have an empty hole where a bolt or screw is suppose to go. You'll end up with extra bolts for sure since you'll likely be replacing fasteners along the way.

This is the current two-piece belly pan set up. This picture was taken before I had the lower fairings resprayed again to move the "Ducati Performance" logo further down to the vertical mid-point, as on the one piece bellypan.
This is the one piece version. I have only to fit the foil heat lining and the fittings and it's ready to bolt on. It will be fitted after the first service.

Thanks Paul. Yes I am very much looking forward to riding the bike after 3 years of ownership!

I wasn't left with any extra bolts I didn't know about. Key to that is being organised
. This is just handful of those I removed and most of these were replaced with stainless steel items.

The last of the carbon parts to go on the bike. Been on back order for a long while now and then had them clear coated (as you will have gathered I am not a fan of matte carbon fibre)
The kit comes with no instructions, not that your really need any, but did manage to get hold of the correct PDF file from the dealer, which shows you where to place the rubber dampers that come with the air ducts. Four are supplied, but you only need two (one per duct). I played around with the position until I got it spot on, then mirrored that across to the other side, with the use of masking tape and some measurements.
Five mins to fit. As per the workshop manual, set a step of 2Nm then 1-2-1 up to 45Nm for the caliper bolts.
These are possibly the most compact ducts I have seen, but more importantly, they are the only ones available that still let you use the front paddock stand as they sit well above the front axle.

Inbound in the next month or so, in an effort to clean up the stock rear brake reservoir area on the bike, are these two billet aluminium goodies from Moto Corse. I've ordered a red cap (in addition) to the stock black reservoir, as I can't decide which set up I prefer. I photoshopped the image below to show the alternate colour cap. The second image shows the hose guide which will eliminate the plastic OEM part. Fullsix make one in carbon but the quality of it is quite poor. The last image shows the reservoir in position on Moto Corse's bike.

Yes, only difference is the logo is not part of the casting but stencilled on.

Nice work! Was admiring the FB post this morning and was wondering how you like the Brembo Supersport Rotor Kit in Gold compared to the OEM rotors?
