Just had the race fairings painted and now realised I need some wings for the 2023 V4. Anyone know where to go without the need for a mortgage?
Mine survived 2 return trips in a nose to tail pallet with an R6. Small independent provider with a specialist transporter, not your NL or FE. Andy
Fine as long as you are loading at the same time as your stillage buddy as they need a little leaning out on entry then stood back up, I've been sharing with the bewinged @andyb and we have never had any issues, lots of winged V4's doing euros and I've not seen anyone remove the wings for stillage transport. Brno last year JHP had twin stillages full of V4's with wings and had no issues.
Speak to Simon A, I believe he has some spare wings. Also to get them out of the fairing you need to pull and wiggle quite hard to get them out of the recess.
When you say you ‘need some wings’… do you? Really?….. ;-) the Ducati ones come out with two bolts anyway don’t they? I’d get OEM and remove them on the stillage
To remove the wings is totally unnecessary. Even applying the logic of having been abroad numerous times on these events littered with panigale v4 would tell you no one removes or needs to remove the wings! To physically remove the wings means both the side fairings need to be removed which with std fairings is a big time consuming job so completely impractical!
If you don't want wings and just need to tidy the mounting area up, you can get blanking covers. Part number is 97180871AA. They're about £100 but cheaper than the wings.
I just got the plastic ones from the dealer and had them painted black to go with the track fairings. If those are too expensive them I’m not sure who does them cheaper.
+1 on that. I'm more concerned about the brake guard that protrudes beyond the outside of the stillage, even if rotated backwards. NL, Redline been fine.
