Upgrading the V4 Granturismo Platform Swapping the traditional L-twin for the V4 Granturismo engine changed everything. This flagship Borgo Panigale cruiser now has a completely different mechanical footprint—and it runs hot. Taming the heat from that 1158cc engine while shielding vulnerable chassis components takes serious, specialized hardware. Upgrades aren't just for show. You need to shield critical areas from flying stones and keep those high-performance hydraulics running cool. Chassis Safeguards and Heat Dissipation Look at the front end. It is tight, leaving the radiator and cooling cores directly in the line of fire for fast-moving gravel. Heavy-duty guard sets milled from aerospace-grade alloy stop those stones cold before they puncture a core. They bolt straight to existing chassis mounts. This keeps the cooling fins safe without choking the massive air volume this high-compression, four-cylinder engine needs to breathe. Optimizing Brake Response and Fluid Control You need serious stopping power to anchor 168 horsepower. Upgrading to high-friction, sintered SBS 634HS brake pads gives you immediate bite. They won't fade when you are pushing hard down a mountain pass. Next, look at the plastic reservoirs. Swapping them for CNC-machined parts like the Rizoma bronze rear brake fluid reservoir does two things. It stops fluid aeration and cleans up the control area with real billet metal. Refining Cockpit Control and Sightlines This bike relies on its low, aggressive stance. Bulky factory mirrors ruin that profile. By using the specialized Rizoma Stealth Naked mirror mounting kit , you can drop the stock units for sleek, wing-style glass. It declutters the bars. The result is a sharper silhouette and a clear, vibration-free view of what is behind you, even at speed. Minimalist Rear Signaling and Silhouette Sharpening That massive 240mm rear tire is the centerpiece of the bike's stance. Unfortunately, the bulky stock plate holder and blinkers block the view. Tossing the heavy factory plastic for compact, high-intensity LED turn signals cleans up the tail. These low-profile options tuck cleanly into the rear subframe, letting that huge rear tire stand out while still giving you bright, unmistakable signaling on the road.
