Now available in the USA I have attached a much better picture than the ones floating around on the net. The Ignition key cover is actually a lot better than I anticipated.

Still waiting over 2+ months for final DP part - the DP Carbon Air Conveyors.

Will post picks after I get back from MotoGP Leguna Seca.

Side Note - Looking forward to catching up with quite a few people at MotoGP Ducati Island

Thanks! Hopefully your CF air conveyors are not far behind!

CaliDuc

My supplier is praying they are not ;-)

Irronically, once all the DP parts are on it, I will be taking the exhaust off the bike and jet coating it.

Pure Ducati is a mile from my house and where I purchased my bike, good people.

These guys used to be significantly more expensive than Pro Italia but seem to be matching their prices now - will give them a look.

Why the wait? They have been advertising them on the site for months?

Another sick DP carbon piece but for $199 it's a complete irrational purchase

LarryG

DP carbon for $199 is completely irrational purchase???
Honestly.......You've bought an exotic Italian motorcycle
If we were totally rational about motorcycling we would probably have purchased a jap bike for less money with comparable or equal performance, not that there's anything wrong with that, Ive had many myself... IMO

When will the conveyors be available? I thought they would release at the same time?

CaliDuc

That is an excellent question. You may of noticed that a lot of suppliers actually require full upfront payment before they place an order with Ducati. I was also wondering why no suppliers have much in stock and why the long lead times on some Ducati Performance parts. Here is one explanation that I received that may make some sense.

It would appear that Ducati Performance *may* first design parts as prototypes and advertise said parts to dealers to gauge interest. If enough customers place orders (hence the common cash up front policy) on reaching a certain order threshold Ducati actually does a production run. Considering Ducati's "just in time" manufacturing process combined with their inherent desirability this kind of business operation would make a lot of sense .. for Ducati and its dealers. This would also explain why certain parts take a long time to become available. I feel most would say that the DP Air Conveyors at $400+ USD is exotic and pricey and as such why it is last to market.

Either way, I love all the DP parts and I am very happy with the quality, price is what it is, the only exception is the Ducati Tank Pad.

Trust this helps.

For the DP Carbon Fiber Air Conveyors I have a ship date of 30th July from Ducati - *HOWEVER* Ducati have modified that ship date .. twice.

Guess I will just keep checking proitalia everyday until they say they are availible, cant wait to get the conveyors and ignition cover! Please post pics when you have them on. You wouldnt happen to know if they have the generator cover aviailbe yet do you?

CaliDuc

I have also got parts from ProItalia. I have found the best way to get some parts is to simply order them, waiting for them to arrive in stock is very hit and miss. I just put the ignition cover on and it does look quite fetching. The generator cover is available I have that on my bike.

My two favorite DP parts are the billet levers and the rear sets. I love them, they are way better than the stock parts.

CaliDuc

Here you go .. fitted.

Simi, when did you order the Air Duct Covers ?
