Dude, I LOVE when you hit us with the TRUTH! Too many moto content creators get comped and can't give REAL, honest opinions about how these things arrive and the difficulty for the layman to install. It's great to get a refreshing perspective on it. Not saying to always put people on blast, but when it's necessary, I'm glad you do!
Please don’t censor your rants. Especially if you pay out of pocket. They already overcharge Ducati owners , the least they could do is build it for you. As always a great video.
Thanks Bill for all the hard work you do. It really helps us other V4 owners save time ! I was wondering what the peg height of your new rearsets was compared to stock?
Just received mine and I am getting a headache trying to put it together. Same experience. I shouldn't have to research on youtube to see if people are having the same problem. Took a couple weeks to get to me too.
I had Driven TT rear sets for my old Panigale and lost the rear brake light was a tiny bummer but if you are a good experienced rider not a total rookie you use the front and rear brakes in tandem therefore never really losing the tail light. Unless your on the race track....Also I had to use red lock tight on all of the bolts, used blue to begin with and it fell apart while I was riding CaliMoto do these rear sets allow you to lower the feet riding position? Or do you know of one that does? Great vid as always!
I'm not connected or affiliated with Bonamici Racing in any way, I want to say that almost every aftermarket parts brand put a note on their instructions/manual saying that the parts are for racing use only.
They made an install video around the same time you made this and some things they said to do seem correct such as foot peg install was as per instructions.
The sets look beautiful on the bike. I bought the same CNC ones for my V4. Except it was rebranded from China. It came already pre built, comes with the rear brake light switch, you just bolt it right in and the beauty of it only $100.
No rear brake switch, no go for me...You can probably add a pressure switch to keep rear brake light action. I've only used Sato rear sets on my bikes, so I'll probably stick with them for the SFV4s.
Lose the rear switch brake light?! No way, not going there dude! That alone should DQ these for use. Added to this the ambiguous nature of the installation instructions not for me. PS. that instruction thing is not uncommon as the manufacturers go "international" and use pictures/drawings/hieroglyphics to compensate for not having to translate things into several dozen languages...... But these are expensive. Gotta say again, NO REAR BRAKE LIGHT!
@@CaliMotoTV Hmm, not sure I'd call it minor actually. I am sure the front brake will still activate the rear light but I generally stop heavily with the front and then coast in to the stop on the rear brake. And at a light or stop sign I generally keep the rear brake activated.....with the bike usually in neutral if the stop is long enough. So for me in this instance, no go. Thanks for the review dude!
I was looking at these for my Tuono a while ago and i emailed reactive-parts in uk and they said you cant use the OEM switch you would have to use an aftermarket switch, same as you would for older lightech rear sets.Also Italian instructions are the worst in any product..... not just motorcycle products.
I agree. Bonamici takes the cake when it comes to crappy diagrams and directions. It's the same problem with the brake side on the 2021 Aprilia RSV4. Diagrams don't make sense and the part list is simply a list with part numbers but not description. Complete BS. It's the last time I'm buying Bonamici rearsets.
Like you i am a mechanical tradesman (fitter/turner) not sure of USA equivalent. Paused & studied the assembly drawing & 100% agree with your opinion on everything. I would be venting a lot more than you! Simply not good enough for the cost
It looks like a Chinese product instructions manual to be honest. I assembled products from China with a similar situation most of the time. I feel your pain. It if was cheap I kinda get it but for that price, what a pain in the ass.
Well I got the Bonamici rear sets this week and I've been 3 hours now . It is a fucking joke . Even the bolts on list are not right . If can't get it sorted with a fresh head tomorrow there going back . I felt your pain mate , what is that instruction page all about ,not in order ,parts not number and bolts not the right size . Poor , I'm very disappointed so far .
@@CaliMotoTV well after a night sleep and another go I managed to get it together . Still not put on bike yet but I'm pretty confident I've got everything where it should be , I suppose in a few weeks of using them and hopefully being happy I'll forget the pain and stress 😉. Cheers mate.
I share your pain! Good looking rearsets and nicely machined but seriously let down by the incorrect hardware and confusing/inadequate instructions. On the bright side, the brake light problem is easily solved - just fit a pressure switch banjo with a double-length banjo bolt. That's what I have on my Monster and it works a treat. The pressure switches are maintenance free and more reliable than the OE mechanical one, so you can look on it as an upgrade! Note that, if you fit the pressure switch, you'll probably have to fit a suitable electrical connector and bleed the rear brake after fitting. It's definitely worth the effort though.
If you do go down the pressure switch route, just make sure your replacement banjo bolt has the correct thread pitch. I believe all Brembo master cylinders are M10 x 1.00mm not the more common M10 x 1.25mm that the Japanese factories use. These parts aren't expensive and I'd expect you to spend around $30 for everything. (Don't forget you'll also need three copper washers for the two banjos.)
I just looked on the Bonamici website and they actually list a pressure switch (they call it a 'hydrostop') pre-wired for the V4 Streetfighter. The part no. is HDC02. I don't know the price, but might be worth checking with your supplier - it would save you the rewiring and also the longer banjo bolt.
Why don’t you return them? It’s really unacceptable I think that there is no rear break light anymore and the installation instructions are from another rearset/ another bike. And sorry to say: I’m not impressed how it looks. I thing the original parts look better and are better engineered by Ducati. Why not powder coat the original sets black?
The rear sets are like my Fullsix carbon fibre parts just garbage I also contacted the dealer they told me that’s just best then can do lol then turn around talk shit about Amazon parts.
Great video. Honest and real. Because I researched a lot on various Ducati forums before deciding on the excellent Gilles rearsets for my V4S Pani I was vaguely aware that people had problems fitting the Bonamicis. And that you need to purchase a solution for the brake light switch - which is poor. But this video is the best explanation yet of just how bad the nightmare is. The ill-fitting too-short bolts are unacceptable at this price point. And instructions a disgrace. Still, they do look nice. But if you want black rearsets then Giamoto might be a good alternative.

This is why I subscribe to your channel! Thanks for putting this information out; honesty is a rare commodity these days.

So grateful for this video. I was about to drop a ton of coin on these rear sets. Moving along. Great vid.
Rear taillight switch delete would be a no go for me. You took one for the team my friend!
Love your honest and informative videos, I only buy what you recommend.
Thanks, that means a lot.

At least at Ikea, you can get meatballs.

Sucks how difficult the install was... However, next to the clear clutch the black looks trick!
Bought for my fireblade and it was easy install, the brake switch you need to install a pressure switch.
That'd be great but in this case the brake side was not properly manufactured.
Gilles looks much simpler. They come mostly fully assembled. Thanks for this video. I think the Gilles are the ones I’m going with.
No good alternates to their product?
Hey man how u doin well, wonder if u able to upload a video about how u wash ur street fighter. Thanks
Did you make a install vid for the brake and clutch levers too?
Hey Bill quick question... What name brand are your palm pads that you wear under your gloves? Thanks pal
Hey, what brand are those sliver resets you pointed to?
Nice rearsets😘cool that Video 👍keep on Rolling 🤗
Man that was a lot to endure for a cold start .
But totally worth it
Dude, your V4 is looking sick 👍
Thanks for the warning.
Crazy! No brake light in the UK would fail the MOT. I admire your patience I would definitely sent them back.
Wait what? So you dont have a rear brake now?? Why would Bonamici make that a thing??
I had Driven TT rear sets for my old Panigale and lost the rear brake light was a tiny bummer but if you are a good experienced rider not a total rookie you use the front and rear brakes in tandem therefore never really losing the tail light.

Perfect and easy fitment on the street triple rs, modified mine to work with brake light too looked factory 👌🏻
I'm not connected or affiliated with Bonamici Racing in any way, I want to say that almost every aftermarket parts brand put a note on their instructions/manual saying that the parts are for racing use only.
I thought you would have gone CNC Racing rear sets
They made an install video around the same time you made this and some things they said to do seem correct such as foot peg install was as per instructions.
I feel ya man I'm struggling with mine atm lol
Silver lining, once they're on they're pretty great
The sets look beautiful on the bike. I bought the same CNC ones for my V4. Except it was rebranded from China. It came already pre built, comes with the rear brake light switch, you just bolt it right in and the beauty of it only $100.
The stop switch is an accessory 🤣
🤔
That’s terrible for what you paid for those bro! I would have put em back in the box and sent em back!
Mate wer did get it? What website?
I just now see your video. I think I will not buy one tnx
One more thing I hope you’ve no power loss without brake switch? They put them under seat on streets cause you lose like 30bhp
No rear brake switch, no go for me...You can probably add a pressure switch to keep rear brake light action. I've only used Sato rear sets on my bikes, so I'll probably stick with them for the SFV4s.
It is an optional extra believe it or not
Have a look at Gilles tooling MU2, they come assambled and italian top quality
I have them on my Panigale V4S. They are excellent, very easy to fit, and beautiful. But I'm pretty sure they are German.
@@c138599 you're right, German indeed!
Have them too on my v4s ;)

Yeaaaa we feel ya.
I think the brake switch is a liability and should be the first thing that should be addressed at an aftermarket aspect
Like you i am a mechanical tradesman (fitter/turner) not sure of USA equivalent. Paused & studied the assembly drawing & 100% agree with your opinion on everything. I would be venting a lot more than you! Simply not good enough for the cost
Nice video - no Bona rearsets for me then!
They look cool but dam the headache.... dunonifnits worth it..
Good luck! What do you think is your favorite upgrade so far?
What a real shame, they actually look very good but terrible that they have such limitations.. Thanks
I was considering these, but this is horrible and totally justified review
Thanks for watching 👍
It looks like a Chinese product instructions manual to be honest. I assembled products from China with a similar situation most of the time. I feel your pain. It if was cheap I kinda get it but for that price, what a pain in the ass.
And for painting the original rear set would be much better I think... much cheaper too...
Why don’t they sell all those parts already mounted and ready to install and adjust? 👎🏻
You got to love Rizoma parts 😍
Nice video mate 🔥
nice rearset!!

Thanks Bill, will stay away from these…
👌
Attack Performance. End of discussion.
No good👎 I had removed them and bought another brand😩💰 For so much money one should not have to keep on modifying the parts😡
realmente fue MAL DISEÑADO
