My 2003 V11 Sport Modifications

[BLIGHT]

Just ordered a used, chipped, rear seat cowl and rear 'fairing' on ebay.... gonna prep and paint them red too when I paint the ebay tank red.

 

Wish I could find a beat-up but usable front fairing too... anybody got one for cheap? 

 

I want to keep all of the current body work in original colors for sure.

 

Swapping out colors is about a 45 minute job, and could 'almost' be like having two V11's!!!

Looks great Blighty. Smart friends too.

Cheers.... they are pretty smart, well...most of the time

Looks like I could get a gel-coat fiberglass RZ-350 bikini fairing from AirTech, ($103 USD) and trim it down to look like the V11.

 

Would still need to get a screen and hardware.

 

They have a very similar side profile.

 

Better yet, just wait until a breaker offers a real one for sale on the bay.

PS: Scrap that RZ350 fairing idea ... it would not look right or fit very well without a lot of fiddling.

Blight-  Try Gustafsson Plastics (St Augustine FL) for a windshield.   I understand that he does custom work as well.  They make several to fit Air Tech fairings.  

 

And that RZ fairing looks cool.  I'd love to see it on a V11.

Agreed, that would interesting to see fitted to a V11!

 

But, then, Guard's Red and part of the party dress?

Apparently, the original fiberglass Stucchi for the early Sport is still available directly from Stucchi Luigi in Mandello.

haha... or mebbe a yellow V11 Sport (jelly-bean tank model)? hmmmmm....

My best buddy loves yellow bikes.... Me? I do too, but not so much as to do it to my personal bike.

I'll have a tank, front fairing, seat surround and cowl to paint as a '2nd color fitment option'.

My dream is all red like the Ballabio, but maybe there is something I haven't considered?

Cool!... I couldn't find it in a brief search. Any links?

Yep.... they do top quality work..... I have their screens on my '86 Honda VF1000R and had one on my '77 Harley XLCR1000 too before I sold it to a guy in Italy!!

Cheers,

Thanks for that website. I just scrolled through it and noticed that they sell a new transmission case (I mention it, since it you had to weld yours recently.)

 

@Blight - the Sport is looking sweet. Will be fun to see it in red.

That comment was directed at LowRyter, who went through a rough process getting his cracked case welded. Pardon the confusion and off-topic post.  

 

Keep up the good work on your project.
