cash1000 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Try Ghezzi Brian. I asked them in July this year and they had a Carbon Fibre one for sales 220e incl freight to NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Harley pegs? Yes. But to get the most out of them you should alter the levers, too. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguzzi Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Talked to Bruno. €235 for me in the Emerald Isle, due VAT. Still a good deal I think. How difficult is it to paint carbon fibre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Talked to Bruno. €235 for me in the Emerald Isle, due VAT. Still a good deal I think. How difficult is it to paint carbon fibre? I think he has a plastic one too. Maybe a bit cheaper than CF - and better for paint. He had quite a lot of other stuff for V11s and said he's going to start a new section of his website just for parts. He called them "tuning parts." That must be a nearly-accurate Italian to English translation. When I think "tuning" I think of getting the engine to run right. I think a better English word might be "custom parts."

Scud Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I got a package from Italy today. It appears that the chin spoiler will bolt right on with the supplied hardware, but I will need to drill holes in the rear fender to mount it with the supplied bracket. The weave of the carbon fiber material is a bit finer than the stock Scura parts, but they look really good - and they weigh nothing. Should be able to install this weekend.

Scud Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Chin spoiler went on easily. Four L-shaped brackets using the four corner bolts of the oil pan - each of which takes a rubber compression fitting with a built-in rubber washer for the inside of the spoiler. I think I will get some little rubber washers for the outside - just to minimize the stress around the screw holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Scud, does the fender cover the shock eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Scud, does the fender cover the shock eye? I didn't install the rear fender yet. To do so, I will need to remove the rear bolt for the shock in order to install the bracket. Unlike the chin spoiler, the holes are not pre-drilled in the fender - but all the screws and washers are included. The CF fender is a lot smaller than the stock piece, but it seems like it will still offer pretty good protection from spray. I'll post a picture in a few days.

Scud Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Scud, does the fender cover the shock eye? I failed at installation today, because I only have a stand that lifts the swingarm. I have not figured out how to raise the bike in a way that will release the pressure on the shock so I can remove and reinstall the bolt easily. However, I took a couple photos to show how the bracket and fender will be positioned. They will protect the shock-eye from tire spray. The stock fender left it wide open to spray - probably even channeled extra spray onto it. This makes a lovely retrospective rationalization for my purchase...

luhbo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks for the pictures, Scud. The idea how to install the bracket is a nice one. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I installed the rear fender and put some more info about it in a new thread. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Update on living with the chin-spoiler: It was buzzing at about 3,000 RPM. I isolated the buzz by sticking a little piece of split vacuum line in various suspect spots. Once I identified the source (right in front of the side-stand bracket) I sanded the edge down so it was far enough away from the bracket. No more buzzing. It's not particularly fond of getting sprayed with rocks. I bought a clear plastic strip that is intended to protect the kick-plates in car door frames. Trimmed to fit the the bottom - I can barely see it - should have put it on before going mudding the other day. There is still no functional reason to put a chin spoiler on a V11. I still like it very much and would do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I agree that belly pans have no real purpose. But they look cool and make your bike different from everyone else's. I had to do it to my Bandit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think it gives the Bandit a fine "stance!" Especially with the painted frame color. Bandits, otherwise, have always looked top-heavy to my eye. V11? I suppose they look heavy all over; like a husky chick on high heels: lotsa fun, but ya best be careful!
