GraeV11 Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 My neck muscles aren't what they used to be and I would also like some protection from the forthcoming winter. I have been looking for a le mans fairing but there are none to be had. Any suggestions? I really do not want to change the standard clip-on position if I can help it. Anything that deflects some air and looks good is what I am after. Thanks. PS I am in the UK.
jrt Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I'll show my particular bias- an R90S fairing or equivalent.
Lamedog Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 How about starting with this and trimming the bottom a bit for an endurance racer look? Can'taise the clip ons much I suppose.
rossi46 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 got this from skidmarx although that r90 fairing looks awesome!
GraeV11 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 I'll show my particular bias- an R90S fairing or equivalent. Looks good ! Think I will go and have a poke around my local breakers yard and see what's available. Thanks.
GraeV11 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 How about starting with this and trimming the bottom a bit for an endurance racer look? Can'taise the clip ons much I suppose. As you indicate, the complete kit comes with lower clip-ons and it is probably more than my back could handle. Sounds like I am falling apart ! perhaps it is time to join the Cali gang ? Then again . . .
GraeV11 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 got this from skidmarx although that r90 fairing looks awesome! I like the look but it seems quite minimal on the protection. Does it have much of an impact ??
rageman Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) I'll show my particular bias- an R90S fairing or equivalent. I really like this look - and I'm in the market for something new (I just installed pro tek clip-ons that my MG carbon fiber fairing no longer fits with). Any further info and/or pics of the mounting would be great. Looks like a replica can be had here - http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/bmw/bmwboxer.htm (no affiliation, blah, blah). Edit - oops; should have searched. Lots of info - http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1062&st=0&p=8648&hl=r90s&fromsearch=1entry8648 Edited September 20, 2010 by rageman
rossi46 Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Yes I find it does a good job of deflecting the air but I really want one of these

Think I might try the mk1 fairing here . . . http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/guzzi/motoguzzilemans.htm#price
jrt Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 [ Think I might try the mk1 fairing here . . . http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/guzzi/motoguzzilemans.htm#price I know it has been done, but I think there are some issues with fit- like you might need to cut the fairing down some in order to install it. Good luck and post pictures when it's done. I like the MK 1 fairing.
