Admin Jaap Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I can get my hands on a cheap Duc Monster bikini fairing. Will this fit the V11 without serious modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Minnaert Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 looks mounted on the headlight, but if it will go arround the dash? you have to try to see if it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballacraine Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Anything is possible with thought, determination, a dremel and maybe a bit of fibreglass and dural ;0) Seriously, I reckon it shouldn't be too major a job to get it to fit. A breeze compared to my last fairing project, I would think! Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roadholder Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 As you can see from the pics I uploaded, only 4 bolts were retaining the fairing. 2 trought the fairing, the mounting bracet then the lamp. 2 trought turns signals then mounting bracet. If the lamp's dia is the same and the offset of the hole is similar, then you wont have great problems for front bolts. For the rear ones you could choose to attach indicators or not. By the way you could also decide to buy a Monster's headlamp support for an more easy job (I saw some on ebay around 15 Euros). Anyway, at the begin of my Guzzismo I prepared some Guzzi using bits around, from other makes. At the end I was not satisfied, cause the bikes seemed to "loose" something. But yes..... where to find a nice headlamp fairing in Guzzi'z production? This is my 2C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 looks mounted on the headlight, but if it will go arround the dash? you have to try to see if it fits. 88056[/snapback] I'm going to take the afternoon off (screw the customers! ) and visit the nearest Duc dealer for a fitting session. Maybe I have some exhaust work for them too. It will fit. I have to make some new steel brackets, but that's easy. The one I'm going to buy is an original Ducati Performance fairing made out of aluminium. Very nice and goes well with the V11 style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Just an update: At the moment I'm painting the Monster fairing. When mounted I'll put up some pics. From what I have seen so far it'll look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barnapkin Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hey! I have the ducati windscreen from the '98 monster. The new one is super flimsy. The clear plastic (top) does not go high enough for good wind deflection, so look into a 1st generation Suzuki 600 bandit windscreen to replace the top part of the ducati screen. It will give more protection that the stock piece. You just have to drill holes to align properly. You pick the angle. On the V11, you lean forward more than on a monster, so the stock top part of the ducati windscreen might just work OK. I've attached a pic (my wife @ track day). You get the idea. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
