DescriptionThe whole story▼

A naked bike leaves its dashboard more exposed than a fully faired superbike, with less bodywork around the cockpit to take the first hit in a low-speed fall, and the Streetfighter V4, built from this Panigale V4 derivative since 2020, is no exception. Melotti Racing's Dashboard Protection Impact Absorber, DC.DU.3181, machined from billet aluminium with a technopolymer front panel, gives the Streetfighter V4's dashboard the same protection Melotti builds for its fully faired sibling, finished in black and fitted without any change to the bike.

Construction and Material Quality

Machined from billet aluminium alloy and anodised black, the DC.DU.3181 fronts the Streetfighter V4's dashboard with a technopolymer panel designed to absorb impact ahead of the LCD screen itself. That panel releases and refits through a quick-fix catch borrowed from racing, with no tool or key involved, and the dashboard behind it sits in an elastic mount that cushions both a sudden impact and the day-to-day vibration of a running V4 engine. Fitting the unit calls for no modification to the naked bike's cockpit.

Protecting a Naked Bike's Dash

With no fairing ahead of the cockpit to absorb an impact first, a Streetfighter's dashboard sits that much more exposed in a low-speed tip-over than the same instrument would on a fully faired Panigale, which makes a dedicated absorber arguably more useful here than on the bike it shares its engine with. Riders using a Streetfighter V4 on track days appreciate that the panel comes off without a tool whenever the screen needs a quick check between sessions, rather than reaching for a specific key kept somewhere else in the pit box.

Fitment and Compatibility

Melotti's price list names the DC.DU.3181 for both Streetfighter V4 versions and for the three faired Panigale versions, all from 2020 to 2024 for this naked bike; our listing follows that range. Melotti's notes mark this as the version used before the 2025 dashboard, which carries a different part number.

Road Approval

No ABE, German parts certificate or EC type-approval exists for this part, from Melotti or from us. It is built for racing and other closed-circuit use; riding this bike fitted with it on German public roads without a documented entry is not permitted, and any event you enter follows its organiser's own technical rules.

Scope of Delivery
