Wild hare vs fairing

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!

 

They do look good especially on a Greenie.  I think the bars are a bit lower than the LeMans.  

I suppose there is now way to repair the damaged one?   You might check with body shop that specializes with car bumper / fascia repair.

I don't know for sure that they are still available, but since they are still on the site, it is worth asking.

 

I just looked on kleinanzeigen.de. Perhaps this is what @Tomchri meant. Is it any good to you? It's in Königsbronn in southern Germany.

Königsbronn is here:

EDIT: I just looked at the advert on Kleinanzeigen again, and noticed that the part is "nur abholung", i.e. "pick-up only", so the seller probably wont send it to the Netherlands.

BUT....

as it happens, I am expecting to be going from Leipzig to Altusried and back 3 or 4 times over the next 5 or 6 weeks. That means I will be going past there on the Autobahn A7, and picking it up for you would mean about a 10 km detour. So if you need help, let me know. Posting it on to you is not a problem, and if he wants cash in the hand on pick-up, that can also be done.

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.

 

A lot of things that you would assume are centered or symmetrical on these bikes are actually not. If you ever mix up the RH and LH fairing brackets that attach at the head covers you will the difference clearly.

By the way, @Lucky Phil, you, and the horse you rode in on.

I was wondering how the RedFrame Trash talk might settle out on a LeMans forum . . .
