savagehenry Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I write this because if you haven'nt tried it, you will not know you will be sorry to0 not have... To all LeMans owners on this board, it takes minutes to pull your fairing. You will not believe how this simple fairingdectomy TRANSFORMS your bike...
abouc Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Did you remove it for looks or service? Mine looks awful with the fairing off.
savagehenry Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 For all intensive purposes, we have the same bike, so, yes, my bike is also pretty damn ugly w/o the fairing. I pull it off to do my valves, general connector greasings, "inside the cockpit" look-over,etc. Plus, it feels even lighter with the unobstructed view. I still see visions of a different set of body work (in DEEP metalflake blue and a black ralley stripe, or Zebra Striped,) and the double headlight S/U of the Triumph Speed Triple... Sorry to gush, but this bike still gives me a boner after 4+ years S.H.

I could have bought a brand new Suzuki with warranty for what I've got into my newly acquired Le Mans, but that would have been boring.
gstallons Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Now you're talkin'..... The only thing is, you now have a two wheel Rubic's Cube.......
stefano Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Now you're talkin'..... The only thing is, you now have a two wheel Rubic's Cube....... jesus,it took me about a week of concerted effort (with The Book) to solve rubik's cube, many, many years ago. scf
Guzzirider Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Buy some V11 Sport headight brackets, some indicators and a Bosch headlight you can go the whole way- easy to convert back to a Le Mans if you change your mind: My Rosso Corsa:

It's just that I keep seeing the dual headlight set up in my mind's eye Now if I could just photoshop it for a better look at it before I commit.

abouc Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Guzzirider, the paint on your Rosso Corsa is amazing. Reminds me of an Aprilia Tuono with the fairing removed. Are those skateboard wheel you have for sliders?
