No modifications are needed. This part installs easily with pre-applied 3M adhesive tape and aligns perfectly with your bike’s original tank surface, making it a hassle-free upgrade.

Absolutely. It pairs beautifully with the carbon fiber frame covers and engine case cover, helping you build a cohesive carbon aesthetic across your Ducati.

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM plastic or metal components, contributing to overall weight reduction. While this tankpad is a small piece, every gram counts on performance machines like the V4.
