I found it via this forum via a want to buy thread I made! And yes, I am looking forwards to the trip a lot!

I finally have the luggage rack on the bike! It took a while to arrive, and even worse, it was a bit crooked and didn't want to fit! Thankfully we were able to bend it back and now it's on there perfectly straight. Unfortunately I also noticed a new scratch on the right side of the fairing today... The bike already has plenty of them, but this one is white and extra noticeable, so I'll have to sort that out.. But now that I can easily carry some luggage, I'm already planning a trip to Luxembourg with my brother later this month!

The longer I have my bike the more little flaws I notice, like the fairing being a bit crooked when I had to put the damn thing back together! Turns out after looking at pictures I made before it's been like that since I bought it, and it definitely annoyed me a bit. But then, I saw pictures of a mint condition, all original Ducati Supersport 750, and the fairing on those bikes are even more crooked! Even despite that they're priceless classics. If it doesn't matter on those bikes, why would it be a big deal on my Lemans?

I went to Wieringerwerf op Wielen today with my brother, and I wasn't the only V11 rider there! It was a good time, but there were mostly harley and adv riders. Some very nice classic cars though.

I uhh, might have quickly snagged it on ebay...

I'd love to buy it if you're willing to ship it to the Netherlands!

I did not, but that's perfect!

I want to get myself a luggage rack for the bike so I can really get some touring done. I know I can get a hepco & becker rack (pictured) but I would be happier with a more sleek design!

Yes, it's still hard to believe how well it all turned out, but I'm very happy about it!

I just did a nice 320km day trip in Friesland!

So, I've finally patched the bike up, and it's once again looking great! I still need to replace the windscreen, but it didn't want to fit properly anyways so I had to drill new holes just to get it on there. The frame of the fairing is a little bit asymmetrical and that's probably the cause of these fitment issues.

It would be amazing if you could do that for me, it looks nearly pristine except for the one damaged bit on there. The color is right too! Since this part of the fairing is too far gone to repair anyways, I did do a quick fix with some zip ties so I can at least ride the bike until I get all the parts to fix it.

You can still get those Magni fairings? I do really like the look of those, better than the stock Lemans fairing even. I'll send them an email!

The left side and the bottom bit below the headlight are undamaged from the accident, but the fairing was already a little off centered when I bought the bike. I only noticed that recently, but it was like that all along.

I uhh, have not been having a good time lately. I went out for a ride with a friend this evening, and a wild hare jumped into my bike out from nowhere! Thankfully I didn't crash, but the fairing is completely messed up now. Does anyone know if it's even possible to get a proper matching replacement in the Netherlands, or is my Lemans now doomed to become a Sport?
