NOTE: These cost $65.00 for the set. Your knees will only make contact with about the bottom 1 to 1-1/2" of the pads and only the rear few inches of it as well so there's really no need for them to be so large. Plus, that center strip will obviously not be useful for gripping, as the video claims.
It will protect against scratches from zippers and belt buckles, though. Also, you don't need to do the hairdryer bit if you install them on a warm day. Park the bike in the sun for a few minutes and stick them on after cleaning the tank. DONE!
IMHO, just buy these Tech-Spec pads for the Ducati Hypermotard on Tech-Spec's eBay store for $20.00 and be done with it. Save $45.00 at the same time. All years are the same....buy any of them.
