Being the new owner of Andy’s 22 plate V4 I can confirm his brake modifications are an excellent upgrade.
Can anyone who has the 2025 onwards high level exhaust with the more spaced out cans tell me if they come with the baffles please? or does it come with mesh inserts?, I don’t like that open can look
The std Akra wide high level comes with a pair of mesh inserts although the left is different to the right left looks like a baffle the right is just a mesh circle .
Thanks @andyb , hoped I wouldn’t have to cut the baffles like I had to on the last bike to leave me with just the mesh guards!
@andyb Hey Andy, quick question where did you source your V4R lower fairings? I have only seen them on Vulture bike for €900 painted. Also my V4R wings arrived, actually quite happy with the quality!
You can decree lowers in R or std variant from Ducati dealers.. I Wrapped them red .. for now till I decide what I’m going..
Did you fit the Akra cans in the end (as in post #18) as the previous open ended version (post #7) would drive my OCD into overdrive with the right side being lower than the left, or was that just a trial fitment?
Yes all fitted been used 3 days at portimao a couple of weeks ago. Rest assured they were on and off like a whores drawers during the process ..and are square on final fitting .. which is more than I could say for the 26v4R one with the factory pro exhaust I also have different baffles for them too..
Why oh why can't they get the alignment right. Took me the best part of a couple of days with my 998S, 1098S, and V4S to get it bang on. Lots of fettling and some shims to have it nigh on 100% perfect. I am dis-proportionately put out by inaccuracies. For the kind of money Ducati are asking for a full system these days, you would expect a certain degree of accuracy (almost in the ball park and for most good enough). Now it just a case of wallet out, trousers down and deal with what you get (or not as the case may be). At £8500 for a full system I would expect it to be millimetre perfect. Sadly I don't think Ducati give a f**K.
