V2 New Style Akrapovic Silencers, Do They Have A Disclaimer?

Hi, I noticed that the Ducati site now says the Akrapovic slip on for the V2 is 'Strictly not for road use' where as I am sure on the 959 they didn't say this.

The question is that I saw a post a while back from someone saying there is big disclaimer writing on the cans now, saying 'Not For Road Use' blatently. Can anyone confirm this? perfect scenario is that this is written with all the other stuff on the inside faces of the cans so that A) it's pretty hidden, and B) It doesn't totally ruin their look!

I am after a V2 owner who can confirm this though? maybe even with a pic.

Ducati Store had the 20% off, would make the kit £2k which is still a lot but I'm considering them in the summer.

 

but that would mean grinding away the face of the exhaust, kinda not keen on that on £2k worth of exhausts. It's not so much the issue of it saying it, as they have said it for years somewhere on the cans, it's whether they have now plastered it on the side of the exhausts.

They are also too loud, and it's going to be a pain at trackdays even with custom baffles, but honestly, without meaning to sound dramatic, I think I'll end up selling the V2 in the summer if I don't get the exhausts. It's too strangled down low in the revs, and the heat is just horrendous. My plan would be to swap to a 1299S I would think. Maybe even one that already has the exhausts on it

 

thanks, it's just how blatant they are with it now. previously you had to look really hard for the not for road use message, on my 899 Termi's it was laser etched on the inside so actually once fitted you couldn't see (although only a deaf person would have missed that they were loud!).

I guess I'm just worrying too much, just need to crack on and get them.

 

haha well, I need to butter up MR in the spring, Ducati Manchester fairly regularly do discounts of 20% and I'd rather just buy it through MR and have them fit it and do the map if they can match the price, so will be speaking to them. I didn't buy my bike from MR but I do get my servicing and all my bits (like the £700 fairing kit) from them.

 

They sent a discount code out the weekend, I got as far as putting them in my basket and applying the discount so definitely there. The discount code ended on Sunday though, I'm thinking of putting the money to one side for the next time they do the offer.

 

the hope is just for it to be the same sort of heat level as a 899/959 which was bearable. The understanding is that with removal of the 2 cats and Much richer fuel map this will be achievable. I’ve had plenty of time on other panigales, and they were okay.
