Cdogger Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Hey guys. Now that I have my license and I've been driving around, I'd like to address the cracked and broken fairing. Does anyone have one I could buy for my 2002 LeMans? It's champagne red. Thank you.
LowRyter Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I don't know how badly damaged your fairing is but perhaps it can be repaired and painted? My body guy Dusty (Central Customs in OKC) uses 3M 04247 two part filler epoxy + adhesion promoter. He filled, bonded and sanded. Since he knew I didn't want to paint it, he was limited to working on the backside only. Not only is it an adhesive, it's also a filler that can be shaped and sanded. I had several corners and screw holes that were completely broken off my side and starter cover that were remade out of this stuff.
footgoose Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 heck yeah. have a go at repair. finding one will be tough. finding one in your color, in good shape... you'll be very lucky... and may pay a lot for it. what have you got to lose?
LowRyter Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 You might also contact a bike or body shop the specializes fixing, like my guy at Central Customs. Luckily red should be a easier color to match than candy green.
Cdogger Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 Hey there gents. I am done with my first year of college and I'm ready to get cracking on the bike. I'm going to upload some pictures later of the fairing and scratched can. 1

I wonder if you could have my old Lemans? do you know there's a Guzzi club in Mpls? we meet every third Saturday.. I can get you on the email list.. It does have the same livery but it has the faux titanium cans and a stock seat with holes in it from rodent damage ha. Just out of curuosity when did you sell it?
Cdogger Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 do you know there's a Guzzi club in Mpls? we meet every third Saturday.. I can get you on the email list.. I didn't know that! Ill PM you my email.
Cdogger Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Update. I brought the front fairing, the rear fairing and the front fender (aka all the candy apple redish pieces) to a body shop and got a quote of $800. I think Im also going to clearcoat the tank and the side panels. 1
Cdogger Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 I either want to repaint the engine and trans or blast em and leave em raw.
Cdogger Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Im tall with long legs so I'll be ordering some KD lowered pegs amd a corbin seat this summer. 1
