WTB 2001 Silver tail

[Bob Maynard]

In good or better shape, to replace my mismatched, scraped Tenni.

Can't see much silver on this Tenni next to the early Sort, but I'm thinking these silvers  differ:

For sure the Tenni silver is not the grey of the same year (2002) red/grey Lemans.  Footgoose's really nice Tenni looks good with this black cowl:

Thanks, I wasn’t clear, the Tenni tail was installed by the PO. I’d like to find a 00-01 silver or black Tail, preferably silver, to replace the Tenni.

Okay, I misunderstood thinking you were just talking about the pillion cover. So, you're looking for an early (1999-2001) V11 Sport complete tail section to match your early Sport silver tank (like my 2000)?

US Ebay search turned up this '03-'04 black Café Sport tail:

KINDOY2 pointed out to me that that later tail has different mounting. Not sure what it would take to fit the later tail to the early Sport . . .

My eBay searches were filtered for 00-01 years, so I missed that one. I could probably get a nice repaint on mine for $600.
 

The Tenni tail fits pretty well on my 01, so when did the mounting change? When they went to in tank fuel pump?

Changed for the 02 year model. Don't know what that means for the US as you guys confuse me with that year model stuff. BTW I have one of those later units here and they are about a million lbs lighter than the earlier units. And yes they are asking way to much for that.

Also, the material changed from polyamide ("Nylon") like the tanks to ABS. As Lucky Phil says "much lighter. Early tail's storage area ("monkey paw trap") is a frame and textile pouch. Later monkey paw traps are a molded plastic insert. I'm vague on the change in the seat latch mounting, so those lucky few with both in front of them may help clarify . . .

Early (heavy) molded "Nylon" tail for reference:

Hmm, yep, here is a 2002 LeMans "tail fairing" on US Ebay that shows the single wall ABS style. So, perhaps the tail changed with the LongFrame? In that case, the Tenni tail should be same as this '02 LeMans:

The later units use a simple support bar that straddles the two rear mounts to give some mechanical integrity for the seat lock as the later cowl is pretty flimsy and wont take the strain of the seat lock assy mounted to it directly.

Yes docc good images there and the price is as you can see more reasonable although by the time you add in the cost of a repaint to make it perfect again its going to be about 1/6 of the price of a good second hand bike.

Btw, just now found the WTB area. Oops.
