Installing multiple updates on my used Ducati Panigale 959

I also updated my riding gear in the process, with a new single-piece tracksuit.

BHPian AtheK recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The thread has been quiet for some time, as I was concentrating on riding rather than adding any new parts to the bike.

This changed once my brother arrived from Switzerland last month, and with him came all the parts that I had ordered earlier and was waiting patiently. Mark 13 got decked up with those parts over the course of last month, and below are the parts that have got added.

For ease, I will refer to the parts that I wanted to get from my first ownership posts.

1. Front Fork Protector.
2. Back protector.
3. Radiator Protectors.
4. Side Stand extender.
5. Third Party Clutch and Brake levers, this is to act as spare as OEM are very expensive.
6. Bar End mirrors
7. Seat Cowl (This is installed)
8. Ducati Comfort Seat
9. Some Stickers
10. Frame Plug Caps

Without getting into specific things and boring you, will just post pics of the installed parts

1. Front Fork Protectors.

2. Back Protector.

3. Radiator Protectors - This still needs to be installed and will be done in a couple of days.

4. Side Stand Extender

5. Third Party Clutch and Brake levers, this is to act as spare as OEM are very expensive.

This is procured, but not installed, and hopefully are not needed ever.

6. Bar-end Mirrors

This was installed earlier and photos were posted in the above thread.

7. Seat Cowl

This was installed earlier and photos shared above, but I decided to spice up things a bit and the cowl was replaced with a carbon-fibre cowl, a separate post to follow.

8. Ducati Comfort seat.

This was Installed and you can see the difference in the seat height and also the extra padding, this has definitely made life much easier and heat on the bums is considerably reduced.

9. Some Stickers.

This was mainly used to replace the ageing sticker on the mudguard, and one more was used on the rear hugger.

10. Frame plug caps

A total of 4 of these are Installed.

Ordered but in Transit

1. Frame Sliders
2. Clear Clutch Cover, in action below.

Both of the above are procured, will be installed shortly, pictures to follow.

Under Consideration

1. Underbody Exhaust.
2. Track Suit.

The tracksuit was procured, now let's see when I get to go to the track, I am still not sure if I want to track the bike, but rather learn initially with rented bikes, and then gradually take mine once I am comfortable. Got new pair of Gloves and new Boots too. I will paint the white part to red shortly I guess to sync up everything.

In addition, have procured Vredestein tires, but current tires have some life left, so these will go on the bike after some time. Stocked them seeing the non-availability of tires, will be downgrading from current 200/50 rear to 190/55. Stock is 180/60.

In addition to the above have installed some Carbon Fiber parts, will make a separate post for the same shortly.

Leaving you with a couple of photos from the last ride of the previous year and the first ride of the new year.

Last Ride of the year, breaking in the Leather Jacket and notice a beautiful FireBlade in the background.

One while out on the first ride of the new year, hopefully, we get to ride much more this year.
