What Are Key Guard Screws?
Key guard screws are the small fasteners that secure the ignition cover or trim piece surrounding the key slot. While stock screws do their job, they’re usually made from standard steel and prone to wear over time.
Exposure to weather, repeated service, or simple aging can cause rust, fading, or even thread damage. For riders focused on maintaining the appearance and quality of their Ducati, upgrading to CNC Racing hardware is a quick, affordable fix.
Why Choose CNC Racing Screws?
Precision Engineering
CNC Racing is an Italian brand known for producing high-quality aftermarket parts for Ducati motorcycles. These screws are CNC-machined from billet aluminum, ensuring perfect fitment and long-lasting performance.
Corrosion Resistance
Thanks to anodized finishes, these screws resist rust, discoloration, and corrosion—unlike stock hardware. This makes them ideal for bikes exposed to the elements or washed frequently.
Enhanced Styling
The KV339 screws are available in several colors including black, red, silver, and gold, allowing riders to match them with other custom parts such as levers, reservoirs, or windscreen bolts.
