DUCATI 749/999 2005 RACE FAIRINGS & BODYWORK
Race fairings for the 2005 Ducati 749 and 999 represent the revised 'Facelift' generation of this Superbike, featuring updated air intake designs. These specialized kits are essential for track conversion, offering maximum weight reduction, superior aerodynamic performance, and mandatory safety compliance. They are constructed from high-quality, race-proven composites like Fiberglass (GRP/FRP) reinforced with Kevlar-Carbon (K-K) for durability and resilience, or premium Carbon Fibre (CFRP).

The 2005 model update (Gen 2) is distinguishable by its side fairings, which have simpler, larger air vents compared to the earlier four-vent design. Race bodywork for this model focuses on maintaining the aerodynamic efficiency of the unique design while managing the significant heat from the Superbike L-twin engine.
1. Material Choice and Racing Requirements:
| Material Type | Core Advantage | Application in 2005 749/999 Racing |
| GRP (Fiberglass) | Best Value and High Resilience (Flexi-GRP). | The standard choice for track days and club racing. Quality fairings use Kevlar/Carbon reinforcement at mounting points and corners for extra strength and easy repairability (Source 1.4, 2.1). |
| Kevlar-Carbon (K-K) | Targeted Safety and Crash Protection. | Crucial for reinforcing the sealed lower fairing (belly pan) to prevent punctures and tears, ensuring fluid containment required by AMA/WSBK rules (Source 1.3, 1.4). |
| CFRP (Full Carbon Fibre) | Maximum Lightweight Optimization. | The premium option for riders seeking the absolute lightest setup and highest structural stiffness, often chosen to match the OEM aesthetic of R-models (Source 4.1). |
2. Essential Race Fairing Components & Features:
The fairings eliminate all road equipment, optimizing the V-twin Superbikes for competition and high-speed stability.
-
Revised Aerodynamics (2005 Spec): The fairings match the streamlined, two-vent side panel design of the updated 2005 model (Source 3.3). The upper fairing replaces the stacked headlight unit with a smooth, lightweight race nose cone, optimizing flow to the air intake.
-
Sealed Lower Fairing (Belly Pan): Mandatory for all track events. The belly pan is a sealed unit, meticulously shaped to accommodate large, complex race exhaust systems while guaranteeing the required volume capacity for oil and coolant containment (Source 1.3).
-
Heat Management: Due to the extreme heat generated by the L-twin, the fairings feature optimized venting to improve airflow over the radiator and headers, crucial for maintaining consistent engine performance.
-
Fitment and Prep: Many European manufacturers offer fairings for this model with marked drilling locations and pre-fitted reinforcements in stressed areas, though drilling of fastener holes is typically required
The fairings are designed for use with quick-release fasteners to simplify on-track assembly and disassembly. However, drilling and the quick-release fasteners themselves are often not included in the basic kit and must be ordered separately
