What do you guys think of my winglets on my 1299S?

Fixed this meticulously. If there is even a bit off the winglets will be too droopy or too high.

Cut some gills in the fairing now

Looks sweet, but take some shots further back to get the whole bike in. Personally I got excited about the idea for 5 minutes, but figured Id need much bigger ones to make a real difference.

Nice! Are they the same ones on the V4? How are they mounted?

At what speed do they offer advantage?

Paul G · Aug 17, 2020

I would say that they offer the biggest advantage to Ducatis bottom line, after that you'll need to be doing about 200k's plus. They are pretty small

Size isn't everything, Paul! Would like to see a few more shots, Ashley. A few more pennies in Ducati's coffers could buy them the only guy with a hope in the Motogp championship. BTW, how scary was that on Sunday! Wow!

I don’t think the issue with Dovi is money. They simply don’t respect and appreciate him. He’s helped Ducati sell lots of bikes over the years.

that was a really bad situation that could have killed 4 riders and ended motogp as we know it, great article by Matt Oxley on why MotoGP Austria pile-up: Rossi — ‘Everybody should say a prayer’ - Motor Sport Magazine

Im a fan of Dovi, have to admit. Hes a well rounded rider and seems a decent human being

In terms of function, extensive testing by Ducati on the V4 indicates that the winglets are very effective in increasing the down force required for high-speed stability. Whether they're visually appealing or not is a matter of personal preference.
