+Titans Bike Thank you sir and well done on being the first to comment! I agree, the tinted screen makes the bike much meaner looking...all the best and thanks for the kind words - TMF
Hi TMF... Nice to see that I'm not the only one for whom a "simple 2 min job" turns into a right faff! I enjoy watching all your videos... long may they continue. I agree that the Panigale is a jaw-dropping machine and the dark tint screen you've fitted really does improve the look. Good job.
+Gary Davies Thanks Gary, I'm glad I'm not alone in turning the apparently simplest of jobs into a right effort! Glad you like the videos, appreciate the kind comments - all the best - TMF
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS VIDEO! The two screws above headlights are fixed to a hex behind the fairing. If you take off the screws from the front, the two hex will drop behind the fairing and you will eventually have to remove the front fairing, headlights to take it out. The fact is you need to remove the headlights and fairing to complete the installation anyway but you would not want to seek the hex behind bunch of cables. I doubt if the two lower screws are really fixed in the video!!
Wow that's a great addition, I nearly said addiction, lol. It totally transofrms the look of the bike for the better. Yet another excellent quality video. Cheers Tony
Enjoyable video. I had similar trickery swapping screen on a daytona. On a separate tangent--can't help but notice how the 899 looks like a puppy compared to the grandpa GS on the right! Really striking the different in size for two machines that essentially perform the same function.
+Windy Run Yeah I know what you mean - you couldn't really get two more different motorcycles in every respect, they're the antithesis of each other....I love 'em both though. Thanks for stopping by, all the best - TMF.
Hoping to change the screen on mine. One question I must ask is how did you not lose the rubber grommets that the bottom 2 T7 screws screw into? I've read they're easy to fall into the fairing. Looks like yours stayed in place?
+aaron0288 The wonders of video editing Aaron - I lost 'em, had to bodge it, was a right faff - no idea why Ducati make it so difficult for the simplest of operations (I've changed out screens on bikes many times and this was bar far the most troublesome!!). Good luck and thanks for stopping by - TMF
Hi great viv ! was Wondering this as well because i noticed when you removed the clear stock screen the bottom grommets were missing how did you eventually get the screws back in did you have to take off the entire upper headlight fairing? And also are those bottom grommets fitted inside the screen right like the top ones ? and not affixed to the plastic bracket?
Hi,I have the 959 panigale and I have been told I have to remove the front section of fairing to get the lower 4 rubber grommets in ,do you have any tricks to install new screen without front end fairing removal? Thanks
+Brian Finch Cheers Brian - yeah, I don't think I've ever had a bike with a screen that I haven't changed out (often several times!!!). All the best and thanks for stopping by - TMF
Wow, just changing the screen out for a tinted really does make the bike look a lot more mean, very nice! On a completely different note, I keep meaning to ask you about your flooring in the garage as I really like the look of it, what type of material is it? Hard wearing I assume? Any info would be good as thinking of emptying my garage this summer to work on improving the floor area. Thanks, Paul.
+Slowrider Paul Hi Paul - I get asked that a lot, it's from Costco, very hard wearing, can't remember what it's called but its the only one they do....recommended!
I'll probably have a latex my garage floor first to get a smooth level floor but I'll def be looking at getting that flooring then, looks like it will last years which is good, thanks for the info, keep up the good work. Cheers, Paul.
I want your garage. Organised clean and perfect for a man cave. And amazing bikes. What kind of work do you do? The next vid a Q and A with the Missenden Flyer. Great vid mate as usual
Buddy's insight asked the question what you do for work! You may well want to keep that part of your life private and that's understandable but I'd be very surprised if you weren't involved in some sort of education/ training role as you have great presentation and communication skills. Cheers Tony
How are you finding the screen? Im looking to upgrade mine now and wondering if i should go for the same or a light tint? Are you still pleased with the dark tint TMF?
+Boodieman72 Thanks Boodieman72 - and no I haven't, 'cos I thought a trip to the dealer might not be that interesting! (sorry for my cheek - changing grips although superficially simple can be a faff too...so I leave that sort of thing to the pros)...cheers - TMF
+Mark Featherstone-Harvey Tell me about it!! ....in short it didn't go well, more faff and a bodge basically - the real way to fit a new screen to the Pani is to take the whole front top fairing off, talk about hassle!! Have you tried replacing the exhaust shield?? You have to remove the whole rear sub-frame!! Beautiful machines but not built for easy maintenance I fear!
+TheMissendenFlyer I've heard glueing the nuts to the bottom of the screen before refitting works, going to give that a try when I replace my screen... After ordering spare fixings!! It seems they are a sod to work on, tried adjusting the gear lever and no such luck, the bolts were so tight even the dealership gave up going trying to do it as the manual suggests!
Good video and very slickly done, but I would of liked to of seen 5 minutes of you f in and jeffin whilst trying to line everything up then maybe a minute on your hands knees trying to locate a dropped Allen bolt like in the real world.
I see a lot of videos about Philips halogen lights, I want to install led lights for my headlights, any suggestion! 899 headlights are really bad at night, any insights would be appreciated.
To be honest I've never ridden the Panigale at night (I know, I know)....I do hear good things about those Philip halogens though, I am quite tempted myself just because of the bluey whiter glow....
How tall are you ? because im 5'6" and cant see myself riding a sports bike(dont know if im talll enough)and theres no garages near me to check if im comfortable on a sports bike
+Bonglord Smaller the better on a sports bike I reckon - I'm relatively short at 5 foot 8 and I can easily get both feet flat on the floor on the Panigale - I can't do that on any of my other bikes.....reckon you'd be fine...
I'm 5' 6" (on a good day), and had a 1098. The height of the bike was never a problem (well, not much of a problem) as once you're a confident bike rider, you only really need to put one foot down, and if you're not a confident rider, you shouldn't be buying a superbike ;-) I couldn't contemplate a 1200GS though... ;-)
Hey, How do get the 2 last screws in at the nose? on mine the is nothing to bolt them to on the other side like there is at the top :-(. Thanx for the video anyways ;-)
There is.... The same counterpart with the black rubber on, like the 2 on top, were there also. I just installed mine and guess where I found them... Inside the nose!!! When you loosen the bottom 2, the fall into the inside!!! I was lucky to b able to get them out with something thin and pointy. This install took me almost 2 hours. Fml!!!
Yes I was going to say...the hardest part about the job is the two rubber nuts at the nose of the screen are not captured and will fall where ever they may...so how did you manage to screw the fronts on? Because on the vid it looks like you were screwing it into an empty hole
John Leo, Hey John , this first time I did it I used superglue on the nuts and bolted it up until cured. Unscrew bolts and assemble. Being careful not to bump the glued screws on the nose. The 2nd time I did it, I just did how you were supposed to and took the whole front fascia off. Ive read forums on what angle to pull the nose off from 20 degrees upward to just straight back..mine was slightly downward and back from the press fit rubber grommet
+hotwheelscarvids 001 Yeah I'm sure you could, I would have thought replacing the screen was easier...although in the case of the Panigale I was wrong!!!! All the best - TMF
+johnnybaby9 Yes they are a real pain and very easy to lose - some people glue nuts to the underside, some remove the fairings to do the replacement (which is the way the workshop manual implies you should do it...) - personally I just bodged mine!
TheMissendenFlyer Nice work! I'm about to change the clear windscreen to a tinted one. It does look like a easy job to do. Will look out for those bottom grommets!
+Geoff Selvidge No not with this one Geoffrey, the two other MRA screens I've had in the past on other bikes did but not on the Duke version...that's why I ran my finger over the edge toward the end of the video, just checking if I'll decapitate myself under heavy braking.....
+Bucks Biker Well spotted - Had I not mentioned them before? Added them when I got the carbon exhaust cover done during the first service, look good don't they....
She doesn't look good.. She looks fucking mean! Damn that made a whole new bike! Love your garage videos man! You should get some heat in the man cave and put the jacket to rest!
+Marcus Östlin Thanks Marcus, glad you like my efforts...and yes, spring is around the corner here so I'm hoping to lose the jacket soon! All the best - TMF
Hi buddy, just watched this vid again as looking to replace my screen, would definitely recommend changing your headlight bulbs as I've just done on the 959, much better cleaner looking then horrid orange bulbs! Here's a link of what I did and used, cheers, GMAN th-cam.com/video/rTHshzgDN88/w-d-xo.html
how did you place the 2 down robbers? to fit in the screws?
Looks way better with the tinted screen.
More videos plz! Always look forward to a notification of "New video from TheMissendenflyer".
+Titans Bike Thank you sir and well done on being the first to comment! I agree, the tinted screen makes the bike much meaner looking...all the best and thanks for the kind words - TMF

Please could you comment on this @TheMissendenFlyer - I did wonder the same about those screws even before I read this comment.
I did remove my windscreen just to realize that the two hex has fallen. now kind of screwed.
Wow that's a great addition, I nearly said addiction, lol. It totally transofrms the look of the bike for the better.
Yet another excellent quality video.
Cheers
Tony
+antonoat Thank you Tony, and I think you were probably right the first time! Cheers...TMF
Beautiful bike real work of art, I like the way you work very methodically.
+Martin Do I?? Thank you ;0)

You didn’t show the hardest part!!! The two black rubber female parts that fit behind at the bottom of the screen?!
according to this video i thought that the screws go into the body directly, tiny bit misleading
Hoping to change the screen on mine. One question I must ask is how did you not lose the rubber grommets that the bottom 2 T7 screws screw into? I've read they're easy to fall into the fairing. Looks like yours stayed in place?
+aaron0288 The wonders of video editing Aaron - I lost 'em, had to bodge it, was a right faff - no idea why Ducati make it so difficult for the simplest of operations (I've changed out screens on bikes many times and this was bar far the most troublesome!!). Good luck and thanks for stopping by - TMF
+TheMissendenFlyer Ah. Bugger. I think I'm going to remove the whole front fairing to do mine. What did you do in the end to get the screws back in?
Hi great viv ! was Wondering this as well because i noticed when you removed the clear stock screen the bottom grommets were missing how did you eventually get the screws back in did you have to take off the entire upper headlight fairing? And also are those bottom grommets fitted inside the screen right like the top ones ? and not affixed to the plastic bracket?
Hi,I have the 959 panigale and I have been told I have to remove the front section of fairing to get the lower 4 rubber grommets in ,do you have any tricks to install new screen without front end fairing removal? Thanks
i suppose there are no rubber grommets for the two front screws?
Looks great, and not wrong about how things tend to look a lot easier than they actually are. ride safe.
+GTs Garage Cheer's GT!
Big improvement well done!!! It's one of the first mods i do on my bikes to be fair and like you say not too expensive either☺
+Brian Finch Cheers Brian - yeah, I don't think I've ever had a bike with a screen that I haven't changed out (often several times!!!). All the best and thanks for stopping by - TMF

does the two screws above the headlight screw into a "sub frame"?
Hey, great videos! Looking to buy a Panigale 959 Corse of my own pretty soon :)
I want your garage. Organised clean and perfect for a man cave. And amazing bikes. What kind of work do you do? The next vid a Q and A with the Missenden Flyer. Great vid mate as usual
+Buddy's Insight Thanks Buddy, glad you're liking the video's and I'm keeping you guessing ;0)
a definite improvement, great video
+George Illing Thank you George as ever - surprising what a difference a simple change like this makes isn't it....
TMF... "What that rattle from my nose cone" Dealer... "It's the two rubber grommets from when you changed your screen ya numpty". ;)
Buddy's insight asked the question what you do for work!
You may well want to keep that part of your life private and that's understandable but I'd be very surprised if you weren't involved in
some sort of education/ training role as you have great presentation and communication skills.
Cheers

How are you finding the screen? Im looking to upgrade mine now and wondering if i should go for the same or a light tint? Are you still pleased with the dark tint TMF?
Yes very happy with it - looks great I think....
Another great job by TMF! Bike looks to much better with the tinted screen. Have you ever done a video on how to add heated grips to a bike?
+Boodieman72 Thanks Boodieman72 - and no I haven't, 'cos I thought a trip to the dealer might not be that interesting! (sorry for my cheek - changing grips although superficially simple can be a faff too...so I leave that sort of thing to the pros)...cheers - TMF
TheMissendenFlyer Well if the dealer lets you record them doing it then it would be interesting.
+Boodieman72 Agreed, I thought that as I was typing that reply!! ;0)
Looks much nicer 👍
+Rob Cheers - I concur!
Do you still have the oem windscreen? I’am looking for one. Mine is cracked..:-/
sorry, I only like the clear one...What's the practicality behind a darkened windscreen? So, just aesthetics right?
Yep - imo looks cool!
TheMissendenFlyer That's the main thing! :-)
Well done tmf, "can't beat a bit of tint".
+Peter Gunton Cheers Peter - good to hear from you again....
Could you do a video of how to remove and replace the dashboard as mine is cracked, common problem apparently
Sadly no - sorry!
Hi TMF, can you please post a link where your folding levers are from? Did you install them yourself or you got them installed at the dealership?
They were eBay specials - don’t have a link I’m afraid...
Many thanks, fantastic channel! About to get an 899 and I'm religiously watching your upgrade videos. All the best, Adam
You're going to love it! Congrats....
looks great 👌
+TripleObsession Thanks - I agree :0)
Where did you buy the new screen?
How did you get on with the lower bolts? when I removed my screen the little rubber coated nuts fell down inside the fairing never to be seen again!
+Mark Featherstone-Harvey Tell me about it!! ....in short it didn't go well, more faff and a bodge basically - the real way to fit a new screen to the Pani is to take the whole front top fairing off, talk about hassle!!

+Mark Featherstone-Harvey ...the stunning looking ones are always the hardest work....
+TheMissendenFlyer Ha ha ha too true! And generally pricey to boot!
Good video and very slickly done, but I would of liked to of seen 5 minutes of you f in and jeffin whilst trying to line everything up then maybe a minute on your hands knees trying to locate a dropped Allen bolt like in the real world.
+yorkstroop ...you need to see my out-takes then! :0) Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by - all the best - TMF

Thanks.
What happened to the rubber grommets for the bottom 2 hex screws?
...yes good question, I never did find them again!
@@TheMissendenFlyer thanks for replying. How did you manage to tighten the hex screw then? I was just doing this install
Certainly does improve the looks, nice one. What a faff however! I'll stick to wind screens that bolt onto round headlights haha.
+Flibblejib Yes I have learned (the hard way) that simple jobs on the Panigale are never simple.....
How tall are you ? because im 5'6" and cant see myself riding a sports bike(dont know if im talll enough)and theres no garages near me to check if im comfortable on a sports bike
+Bonglord Smaller the better on a sports bike I reckon - I'm relatively short at 5 foot 8 and I can easily get both feet flat on the floor on the Panigale - I can't do that on any of my other bikes.....reckon you'd be fine...
TheMissendenFlyer Thank you man, really appriciate it :)
+TheMissendenFlyer You're 5"8 and you've got a 1200gs? That's impressive, I'm 5"8 myself and I'm a bit scared by its hight!
+Marcus Östlin ....I've never said I wasn't scared of it!! :0) ...and actually I'm 5 foot 8 and a half ;0)
I'm 5' 6" (on a good day), and had a 1098.

Is it the same size as the original one?
Or is it higher?
Same size...

shaolin224 So, any tips on how to hold those lower front nuts in place while installing the new windscreen?

The 2nd time I did it, I just did how you were supposed to and took the whole front fascia off. Ive read forums on what angle to pull the nose off from 20 degrees upward to just straight back..mine was slightly downward and back from the press fit rubber grommet
shaolin224 Thank you.
How about changing the headlight main beam bulbs before I do to see how it's done👍
...nah, you go first and let me know ;0)
I was just wondering couldn't you just put a tint on instead of putting a whole new windscreen in?
+hotwheelscarvids 001 Yeah I'm sure you could, I would have thought replacing the screen was easier...although in the case of the Panigale I was wrong!!!! All the best - TMF
+TheMissendenFlyer fair enough :) thanks for the reply :)
lovely bike !!!!
+The Mad Scouse Thank you :0)
any time :)
what about rubber gromets at base of windscreen? i have heard nothing but problems changing this screen
+johnnybaby9 Yes they are a real pain and very easy to lose - some people glue nuts to the underside, some remove the fairings to do the replacement (which is the way the workshop manual implies you should do it...) - personally I just bodged mine!
TheMissendenFlyer Nice work! I'm about to change the clear windscreen to a tinted one. It does look like a easy job to do. Will look out for those bottom grommets!
I wonder (after thought) if you could have put the film that you did the paint work with on the new screen--- save scratching etc 🖒😎
I think it would be quite difficult to apply over the whole area and possibly would distort vision....good point though, may be doable...
Impossible without removing the upper fairing, the 2 bottom rubber bolts just won't hold
looks alot better
+Derek Ashby Cheers - I think so :0)
Is there a trim to put around the screen edge?
+Geoff Selvidge No not with this one Geoffrey, the two other MRA screens I've had in the past on other bikes did but not on the Duke version...that's why I ran my finger over the edge toward the end of the video, just checking if I'll decapitate myself under heavy braking.....
The cheapskates...
That looks better 👍🏻
+DervMan Yeah, I think so DM - glad you agree....
Some new levers too?
+Bucks Biker Well spotted - Had I not mentioned them before? Added them when I got the carbon exhaust cover done during the first service, look good don't they....
very smart!
Havnt watched the video yet but knowing Ducati you properly have to remove the tank and fairings to get too the windshield.
She doesn't look good.. She looks fucking mean! Damn that made a whole new bike! Love your garage videos man!
You should get some heat in the man cave and put the jacket to rest!
+Marcus Östlin Thanks Marcus, glad you like my efforts...and yes, spring is around the corner here so I'm hoping to lose the jacket soon! All the best - TMF
I guess a few choice words were said around the faffing? Much better with the tint and yes get that sticker off!! Ride safe :)
+ivanandhismightysteed Cheers Ivan :0)
What screen is this?
It's a powerbronze one...as I said in the video ;0)
What brand is the screen
Er, I think it's a powerbronze. IIRC....
TheMissendenFlyer
Thank you.
No such thing as a 5min job, looks fab now, well worth the time, deffo get the logo off.
Yes the logo is gone... ;0)
I'd put the clear one back on 😎♋️
+Treker 1969 ...I'm not going there again!
💯 clear
Black looks like typical power bronze tack
Nothing for a man of your calibre 🖒🖒
time change rabbit ears ?
+Rus Sokil Not sure I understand Rus?
It means take off the stock mirrors and install bar end mirrors instead.
it takes me 6hours to put it back the both mirrors
+Jonathan Cabonita Crikey! ...and yes, the rubber mount things in particular are a bit fiddly - I just got lucky!
Hi buddy, just watched this vid again as looking to replace my screen, would definitely recommend changing your headlight bulbs as I've just done on the 959, much better cleaner looking then horrid orange bulbs! Here's a link of what I did and used, cheers, GMAN
th-cam.com/video/rTHshzgDN88/w-d-xo.html
Yes watched your vid - nice one, I imagine I will be following suit soon....
Don’t waste your time with this tutorial. You have to take the entire from fairing to have access to the front screws hex nuts. 👎🏼
It's not really a tutorial, it's just how I did mine...
