I would like to remove the faring on my 02 lemans and have heard that buel cyclone and possibly some beemer headlights and mounts will work......does anyone know of any info. on this. Walt Bowen

Not sure why you would at first pay a premium to get a V11 with a fairing [Lemans] , but I know that the standard and reduly available Bosch headlight bucket and bracketry is available from,,,,, Moto Guzzi.

i'm getting all excited about the possibilities now :) It'd look like the original V11 LeMans concept bike all done out in Lime green :)

I think your best bet would be going on ebay and look for a Ducati Monster headlamp. It uses the same glass and trim ring, the housing is recessed to allow more room for the speedo cable. They usually go for $125.00 and up.

 

I have also heard the the buell is the same but have not had my hands on one.

 

I dont know of anyone having the headlamp mounts, the dealer might be your only option.

 

Good luck,

Mike

I've been looking to change my Ballabio from a frame mount system (you know "THE NECK") to the mounts that connect to the forks, like a v11 naked. Would the Buell or Monster route be my best bet as well?

The headlight unit, the Bosch one on the V11 Sport/Naked, is the exact unit used on 74-82 Laverda big triples, and later twins. Mallossi, or John Tickel headlight brackets will adjust to just about any size forks.

Do you know right off where I could look to find one of these?

Robbie,

I'm not sure I want to part w/the faring just yet, partly because I've never had it off and don't know how it will feel and also for resale in the event I decide to sell...........but I'll keep your info. if I decide to get rid of it.

 

Thanks,

Walt

not a problem laddie ! I priced out a new fairing and mounting brackets etc and it works out to about 750 US

robbiekb,

 

if you happen to find something for your bike, I'd be glad to buy your headlight/dash mounting brackets.
