It took me five if not six hours to install this, with great care to prevent damage. It was enjoyable until it came time to get the oil cooler post out of the bottom of that support; from there until you officially have the support back in place, you will not be having fun. Getting the oilcooler post back into the rubber grommet at the very bottom of the support was a bit of a nightmare. There's not a lot of room for tools to use to bend the ear with rubber grommet down for the post to go in to (and I wasn't willing to scratch anything with prying tool anyway), and it will tend to push the grommet out of the hole; I did it by hand and it wasn't easy. A few tips: The oil cooler grill does not stay in place on its own as you are reassembling - save yourself the frustration and tape it in place. I used scotch tape which barely held but was better than nothing, I wanted to be sure I would be able to pull and remove it all. Getting the post on the bottom of the oilcooler back in place is the linchpin of reassembly and for me was the worst part with everything loose and threatening to scrape/fall/bend everything else. I had good luck with putting a loose screw in on the middle of the radiator support on the right side as I was reassembling, this side hangs down more and without something to hold it up, things were not going well as I pulled that bottom ear down enough to get the post on the bottom of the oil cooler back in place. There are two long specialized screws that go through the front corners of the black farings, these secure the top of the large radiator support frame, and the right one also mounts one ear of the coolant overflow tank. They go through rubber grommets in the ears of the radiator frame, and those grommets should have a metal spacer with a washer that sandwiches the rubber grommet/isolator. Without this spacer/washer sandwiching the rubber grommet, things are going to be bad. The washers are easy to miss and even the spacer fell out and perched on the radiator as I pulled the fairing off, I never saw the thing assembled and did not know I was missing parts, or what the parts were when I found them as I was reassembling. I probably spent 45 minutes trying to assemble this wrong, initially I thought the spacer and washer were for the coolant tank. I could imagine someone really struggling to get the tiny nuts at the top of the oil cooler back in (and likely the metal spacers that are inserted into the grommets before the nuts, since these will likely pop out during reassembly if not disassembly) but if you put the part (nut or spacer) on the bent end of a small allen wrench, you can move the part into place, and touch the tip of the wrench to the tip of the stud such that the part (spacer or nut) will be pretty much perfectly aligned and ready to be carefully pushed in or screwed on while the wrench is holding it in place and aligned; it's still fiddley but it'll probably work better than trying to reach with your fingers or pliers. In general, don't tighten all the screws in a section until you have all the screws in place and just short of finger tight, especially for the radiator support and fan screws. That whole assembly will need tweaking as it goes back together which is easy with everything loose. As you are tightening the radiator support, you'll probably need to carefully push the top of the grill in toward the radiator so that it can go under the top of the radiator support. Once it's pressed in, you'll be able to push the radiator up a bit and life will be good. I expect if you tried to assemble it without that top edge of the grill fully sandwiched between the support and radiator, the radiator would be too low and cause problems. It's velcro that holds the two upper painted fairings on to the tank near the rear. It's incredibly strong and pulled half of the velcro tab off of the fairing before it released on one of mine. You pull the rear end of the fairing out away from the bike to release to velcro (don't pull it up or down as there is an alignment pin), and then the front of the fairing needs to slide up off of a post; the front of the fairing should not be pulled out, it slides up. There's one stylized bolt on each side (a large bright head with a ring of dimples around the edge) - this is a torx head, not a hex allen head like everything else. You can do this job with surprisingly few tools, two allen wrenches, one 8mm wrench, and one torx... but you are going to need the patients of a saint.

Makes me appreciate my service shop workers. Thanks for the video.

man I really appreciate the vid, I have these coming Friday and I'm not looking forward to it but they look good and the protection is worth it. Thanks again for the vid!

Thanks for taking one for the team. I’m getting this job today and was lucky to find your video. The online manual SUCKS!!!!

I started this process yesterday, got to the point of those two little radiator and oil cooler bolts, and thought how the hell am I going to get those back on, once off, so I abandoned ship LOL. I started searching KZfaq and ran across this, so thanks for posting your experience. I ordered a couple new tools, ratcheting and flex head 8mm wrenches, and some low profile sockets, to hopefully assist in getting those two crap bolts back on. I will try again, early this weekend, so I can get it done with time to ride, so I don't forget why I bought a ducati hahaha... Wish me luck ;)

Just fitted mine today, overall it was quite easy, just followed the instructions and took my time, the oil cooler bolts are difficult but I did by using a pair of needle nose pliers to place the nut on the thread then a large flat blade screwdriver to hold it in place before using a long reach 8mm spanner.

😂it’s a job I paid for the workshop to do. €150. I see it was WELL worth it!

The guards don't move around without being bolted down to anything? It's just friction between the rubber spacers and the radiator that holds them in place? Any movement or wear? Thanks for the video!

Nice! So, I was going to try this but now I'm thinking I'll get too frustrated. I was paying attention to the tools you used - are there any special or weird-angle tools needed? Thanks for the walk through!

I installed on my Panigale V4S. They were definitely a pain to install but after riding with them on for awhile, I am thinking about taking them off. I worry about heat. How do you feel about them after riding with them on for awhile?

It helps me a lot!

Get a ratcheting wrench from Harbor freight to help with 2 🔩 boltsin back holding radiator. The bolts are magnetic and will stick once place lightly but hard to screw on with simply a 🔧 Spanner.

I’m surprised you didn’t need to remove the tank and rear subframe for this job. I just installed a Evotech Rad Guard on my 2020 Superduke, 2 screws and 5 minutes later, done.

Hi, what kind of tool do you use. I don’t have tools yet, I need it for Streetfighter and Multistrada, thanks

Nice video. What rear stand is that?

sorry can you tell me if it was Evotech Performance or Evotech-rc (or Evotech srl)?

Ya...hh good ducati, that ducati very hard job, 😬😬😬😆😆😆

yeah gonna let the workshop boys do this one on my V4S cause warranty reasons !

thank you very much, sorry, could you post the link of the instructions you were looking at on the phone? thanks

Bro, this took me like 4 hours

Thanks for this but it gave me less confidence to do this on my own.

oh jesus... this took forever... i thought it's plug&play

Why not the S version?

Another reason why if you dont know what youre doing you should leave it to the professionals. I didn't watch after the second minute, so saved best part of 18 minutes of wasted time 👍

What a bastard to put those guards on i just did mine... royal pain in the ass

Moqueta en el garaje???? Joder que asco

I had to stop watching - unnecessary overlay music got in the way
