DescriptionThe whole story▼

Every lap on the Streetfighter V4 S passes vibration from the engine and the road straight into the dashboard sitting right above the headstock, and over a season that steady shaking can do as much to an LCD screen as a single hard knock. Melotti Racing's Dashboard Protection Impact Absorber, DC.DU.3181, mounts the dashboard on this Streetfighter V4 S through an elastic fitting rather than a rigid one, cushioning both the vibration that builds up lap after lap and the sudden impact of a fall, behind a technopolymer front panel that takes the brunt of either.

  • Elastic dashboard mount for vibration and impact absorption
  • Quick-fix front panel, no tools or key needed
  • Minimal footprint, fits with no modification to the bike
  • Also listed for the base Streetfighter V4 and the three faired Panigale versions

Construction and Material Quality

The DC.DU.3181 body is machined from billet aluminium alloy, anodised black, with a technopolymer front panel standing between the dashboard's LCD screen and whatever reaches it in a fall. Behind that panel, the elastic mount is the part that works on every single lap rather than only in a crash, absorbing the vibration that an electronically suspended naked bike like the V4 S transmits steadily through its chassis. The panel itself opens through a quick-fix catch, with no tool or key needed, and the complete unit fits without any modification to the bike.

Absorbing the Vibration, Not Just the Hit

It is easy to think of this absorber purely as crash protection, but the elastic mounting behind the front panel is doing useful work long before any fall, taking the edge off the constant vibration that would otherwise work its way into a sensitive LCD screen over a full race season. On a Streetfighter V4 S ridden hard and often, that steady, cumulative protection can matter as much to the dashboard's working life as the impact absorption does on the one day it actually goes down.

Fitment and Compatibility

Melotti's price list gives the DC.DU.3181 for this S version and the base Streetfighter V4 from 2020, and for the three faired Panigale versions from 2018, all through to 2024; our listing for the Streetfighter V4 S follows the 2020 to 2024 range. Melotti's notes mark this as the version used before the 2025 dashboard, which has a different part number.

Road Approval

Melotti holds no ABE for this part, and neither do we, nor a German parts certificate or an EC type-approval. It is made for racing and other closed-circuit use; using it on German public roads without a documented entry is not permitted, and race organisers decide their own technical rules for any meeting.

Scope of Delivery

Delivery is the complete DC.DU.3181 unit, with its quick-fix front panel and elastic dashboard mount, fitted without modifying the bike.
