Pulled out my 999 out today and took her apart for prepping for summer wash. On inside of my carbon fairing there is some sort of soft padding which was covered in mould. I gave it a gentle wash and one of them just fallen apart. Can they be bought as a spare? Anyone knows? Do I actually need them? Are they some sort of heat protectors? Do I need to bother replacing them?
It's the same part as the plastic fairings. You can still order a replacement from your local dealer. Or as @cookster suggested use some reflective tape to reduce the heat. It won't, however, reduce engine noise.
Thanks. So would I be best to pull them off now and throw away that we then trying to dry them? They probs will not come out well after being soaked? So just to confirm- original soft padding is sound and heat reducer? So worth having? H Wonder how much they charge for them!
Ducati Omaha site lists them with part numbers. https://www.ducatiomaha.com/search Try typing the part numbers in for a rough idea of how much they will cost. Not sure if they will still be available though.
They are available for c£40 per side. https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/ducati-motorcycle/Superbike/2003/999_R/999-R/FAIRING/165/51/0/165
It's sound proofing. No big loss but as suggested, I would definitely put some aluminium heat proof tape in its stead. Andy
Yes. Only listed the main panel L & R. My error. But still pretty cheap if you want to stay OE, which I personally would on this bike.
I know what you mean - but we buy in similar pre-formed items for JLR applications and they cost less than £2.00 for larger ones it's not pretty cheap, it's fuckin' scandless
Of course it is. Bit like a screen screw and well nut for c£7. On my R I go for Oe. On the 996, I don’t have the same need/desire/want.
That was definitely dealer fit on mine as the dealership sent me the silver one along with a heap of other parts a couple of months after I bought the bike!
