Good to know the tabs are on all the v11s. I will definitely do a build thread, photo diary, video diary, but I have to buy the bike first. Might give it a go with the Breva 750 and/or the Griso 1200 that I have now first....

My 2000 sport has them. I sold my extra fairing but you can get a look at the std LM bracket here to see how one of these, altered to fit the Laverda might be of some help.

No. I fabricated my own fair mounts from scratch. 12 hours ago, Calijackalbob said: 2. If so, what modifications would be required to make it work? (This is assuming anyone has done the fairing swap with a V11 LM. The bike in the pics is a Le Mans....) I started from a Ballabio. I modified the wiring harness for the front turn signals removed the handlebars and installed clip-ons. There is no way to make the fairing work with normal Guzzi bars, even LM is too high 12 hours ago, Calijackalbob said: 3. If anyone has fitted this fairing on any other V11 using any other fairing/headlight mount, and if so what did they use? 4. Do all V11s have the mounting tabs (bolt tubes,) for a fairing on the headstock or only those that had an OEM fairing fitted? I used the headlight mount and added structure to it. 12 hours ago, Calijackalbob said: 5. If you have done it, step by step Photos would be great to help the rest of us who want to do the same. I promise, if I do it to my bike I will post videos and a step by step photo guide telling how it was done and any issues I had and how they were overcome. Biggest issue is fabricating the fairing mounts. The front mount is a welded steel truss that is probably way over built. The side mounts are 1/8" thick aluminum that bolt onto the valve covers. I can send you pictures of anything that you can't see, but I don't do "step-by-step". 1
Tup Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Hello, I have a question about this topic. I like to order this beautifull fairing for my V11. However I like to know how easy or how difficult it is to mounted this Fairing. Can I keep the original Headlight? Should I replace other part of my bike. Or is it just order the fairing, created some braces a mount it on the bike. thx regars Tup 1
