Dimitris Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Hi! After my crash with the V11 LeMans I decided for the beginning not to put the V11 Fering again but to just adapt the little MG fering of the V11 sport. For that to happen it was needed to remove the mounting brackets of the V11 Le Mans fering and put the special brackets of the V11 sport, so as the new small fering and headlamp could be mounted. Today my mechanic called me and told me that something is wrong. He cannot put the new brackets-small fering-instruments because after that, the clipons cannot be turned as they should. The clutch lever is hitting the instrument.....(?????) In particular, he asked me if I was aware of the possibility that the V11 sport model has different clipons (longer?) than the V11 LeMans. I don't know the answer, and I am really sad because the bike and my mechanic are 500 km away from me, so I cannot see and understand the problem. Do you know if there are any differences between the V11 LeMans and the V11 sport? Is it so complicated to modify the V11 LeMans so as to make it a V11 sport????? Any help would be aprreciated!! ThanK you dimitris
JoeV11 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Hey Dimitris They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here's 3000 for you: The instruments and headlight move with the bars and forks, so I can't imagine how the clutch would hit the intruments. Maybe the mechanic doesn't understand how different the bikes are? Joe
Greg Field Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 You need the headlight brackets, and the special mounting plate for the instruments. Nothing else should be necessary.
Dimitris Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Thank you so much! I've already sent the pics to my mechanic, hoping that the problem will be solved!!!!!! cheers! Dimitris
Dimitris Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 The false order, on behalf of my mechanic, explains the problem. Instead of ordering the small mask for the V11 sport, he ordered the mask for the Ballabio.... For me? More time to wait......
