al_roethlisberger Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Was talking with Mike Stewart the this last weekend, and he had mentioned that while chatting with someone else recently in San Diego that they had thought that the fairings on the first-year 2002 LeMans was different than the new 2002+ bikes. One dimension they had mentioned specifically was that they thought the fairing narrowed more on the 2002+ bikes as it came over the cylinder heads than on the 2002 bikes after some folks had complained about their knees hitting the fairing. After I went home, I checked out my fairing, and having just looked at Mike's Rosso Corsa fairing, I confirmed that indeed the newer bike's fairing is a bit narrower, and perhaps shorter as it comes over the valve-cover. Are there other dimensional or engineering differences on the newer fairings? I have no idea, but it's something to at least be aware of. If anyone else has noticed any other differences, feel free to post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Al you're right. I've seen the difference between the 2002 and 2003 model. The difference is where the fairing is closest to the knees. I believe it was more narrow. But I don't believe there are more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stewart Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Even some early 2003 have the older style fairing. I guess it is only bad if your knees hit the fairing. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
