Got sent this from the same people who made the throttle spacers, seems a good idea but quite expensive for what it is https://panigaleheatshield.com/?mc_cid=9795f9b383&mc_eid=ba70438053
Nor me. The cafe racer I had a test ride on a couple months ago with the Ducati UK open day, was far warmer than my Panigale/s.
If you want heat try touching the frame of an s1000rr after a good spanking! You could fry an egg on it
Once the o/s air temps >30, you will notice the heat. It stems from the cast rear subframe for me as I also have a full Ti Akro and thats cooler than the oem apparently. I bought some carbon frame covers from Lieb-Speed.de and thats sorted the issue out for me. Which incidentally is some of the best crafted carbon Ive ever bought. PLus Ive DEI Gold under seat and inside akro heat shield. Why the engineers at Ducati thought it ok to bolt a cast ally subframe directly to the rear cylinder without adding some method of isolation for heat transfer is beyond me. Its so obvious as to be a design flaw. I understand some 3-4mm ceramic washers wouldve helped. Ive not done this mod as Ive cured my issues with the Lieb-Speed covers. Under normal UK conditions its fine, but once you are in the o/s air temps of 34 it roasts your chestnuts. As the subframe cannot seem to reject the heat fast enough.
