Craig 53 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's coming together nicely. Do you plan to paint it to match the bike or to use a complementary color? Changing the entire bike to a blue, probably similar to Subaru WRX Blue Pearl. Might call it the Azzuro Corsa... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scud 1,329 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Azzuro Corsa - that would look good in script on the tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 53 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Azzuro Corsa - that would look good in script on the tail. That is exactly my thinking, executing it is a bit more problematic. Does anyone have a font that looks like the script MG uses? I certainly can't do it by hand.

Scud 1,329 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Check the fileshare section. There's a thread that has some of the tail scripts. You could give the file to graphic artist and have him or her do a custom one for you - then output as a decal. I didn't see one for Nero Corsa; that would have been convenient, because you could just replace the "Ne" with "Azzu". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jexmatex 1 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nice move, can't wait to see the end of it, i wonder what work will be necessary to put one of those on my sport naked short frame.How does the white part of the fairing and the transparent shield goes together ? Attach system is sold with or you have to find a way ? and by the way do anyone knows what is the brand of his exaust ? looks wonderfull 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 53 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Took it for the first ride this evening. I spent a lot more time that I anticipated getting the fairing brackets right. I am still not completely happy with them but I will put a few hundred miles on what i have before I make new ones. I haven't done paint yet. @Jexmatex, there are no mounting provisions provided for anything. To fit the shield to the fairing you need to match drill them. Drilling lexan isn't hard but you need to do a slow speed. I spent almost a minute drilling each hole just to ensure I didn't crack anything. I will try to put up the pictures I have with some commentary later this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea to ride it a while and see how everything is working - and again after your next generation brackets - and finally paint. Little changes can make a big difference to fit and finish. But I think you already know that - so I am simply curious to see what you've done so far. As for pics - Yoda says "There is no try, only do." (can this guy be Yoda today?)

fede78 7 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was digging into the forum looking for fairings to install on the V11 and I found this topic... Following the pics of the bike I like. I believe the fairings are from a Ducati SS... somebody knows what kind of bracket he could have used for it? Enjoy... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scud 1,329 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 That's an impressive piece of work. However, I think I still prefer the look of the Laverda fairing. The one above has the headlight sticking too far out for my taste - kind of bug-eyed. Craig - have you been able to make any progress recently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 53 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I have finsiehd the install and have about five tanks of gas on it. I just haven't bother to take any nice pictures yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Archimedes 1 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 This is how he did it... Fantastic work Fede78. A couple of questions for you: Where did you get the 900SS carbon fairing from and which model Guzzi heads did you use? I really like the old-school look of those.
