V4 New Wings

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Eugen, May 9, 2022.

  1. I’ve bought a pair of red ‘wings’ to replace the silver ones that came as standard (I just prefer the look - I know, each to their own, etc…). The replacement panels don’t come with the metal clips to fit over the plastic locating pins - at least, mine didn’t. Does anyone know the part numbers for the metal spring clips, or have a method for removing the ones already fitted to the silver panels, without snapping the plastic locator pins?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  2. Yep red works well , and as mentioned the clips come off easy , added the black bash plate , bars and soon to come the rear sets in black as well. IMG_0035(1).jpg IMG_0042.jpg

  3. Looks good! Did my fairing panels today - as you say the clips come off easily enough with patience! I much prefer the 'all red' look.

    Done the PP bars already, and added a short enduro screen (I prefer low screens).

    Just out of interest, did you buy the black bash plate for the PP, or have you had yours coated/painted?
     
  4. Bought the PP one as the finish is anodised.
    The bars I have done are the crash bars in black . Leaving the standard bars as I like the wider feel .
     
  5. Understood - many thanks once again. I’ve bought a spare (brushed alloy finish) belly pan from a dealer at a discounted price. Need to decide whether to go down the powder coat, ceramic coat or anodising route.

    Time for some research…

  6. I anodised mine on my DVT and it lasted very well
     
  7. Can I ask who you used? Struggling to find an anodiser near me who’ll take on small jobs!
     
  8. Looks good, a little like mine & am now thinking about a black belly pan.

  9. It was a local company to me near Gatwick, probably not ideal for you.

    I also got the rear footrest hangers done at the same time. Paid cash which is why they were probably happy to do them
     
  10. No worries. I’ve got a pal who lives not far away. I’ll ask him to check them out for me. Many thanks!
     
  11. Where can the red panels be purchased?
     
  12. I got mine from Ducati, they are std panels for the stripy V4S and the red matches, £48 each which I thought was good for a Ducati part. I think vulture bike also do them but not sure how much... you'll have to remove the clips from the old panels when fitting.
     
  13. I found them on https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/ducati-motorcycle/assignment_spare_parts/4801A911AA
    but they are more expensive, do you mind saying where you bought yours.

    Thanks
     
  14. That's a really good price (effectively, no VAT). I paid just under sixty quid for each side.
     
  15. I was there last week !
     
  16. Carbon?!
