RH fairing factory bracket

[XSIIE]

I guess most people thought the fairing ugly.
I have found 3 available for sale in the last 12 years.
1 in scotland and 2 in Germany, I bought them all. They are now on my 3 RHs.

Yep, that’s the unicorn shit.
Seems that back in the day the first thing to go was the RH fairing, then the exhaust was replaced by a 4-1, the fairings and engine brace then just vanished and are now very hard to find.

Yes, the RH I had in 80's had a Pipeline system at one point and that bracket had to be removed - no choice.       I kept the fairing though.     Not sure why it would be removed......better than nothing and looks good (AFAIC, at least).   In those days, putting on fairings was more the thing to do.  La Parisienne fairings were doing a tidy bit of business in that area.

Now all you need is the frame brace that covers the exhaust and oil filter

You mean this:

Wow, they are more rare than unicorn shit. Good find

I can measure it up over the weekend. I also have an RH fairing mould.

Hang fire on the measurements.   I've tracked down a complete fairing with all the necessary parts still attached.      I haven't got it in my hand yet, but the bracket is complete and appears in very good nick.

Any chance you might want to sell the T3 ?

[lambs]

Thanks.   Not all of those listed are complete and running by any means......there wasn't enough text allowance for me to indicate.    For example, the 202 Gilera is completely stripped down and about to go out for painting + I am doing a complete engine rebuild.   It had been converted to a dirt bike but will look something like this when I'm finished:



I have a bit of a leaning to Guzzi's.  The S3 I bought new in 1976.     I'm 'hating' them a bit at the moment....the T3 dropped its guts majorly just before Christmas.   It seized the rear main.     Too much damage to determine exactly why.     Fortunately parts are readily available and not too expensive......but not in Oz.

Nice collection of bikes Lambs especially the Guzzis. A mate(Late) had an SP 1000 since forever and I also had  the LeMans II
I've also been learning a bit about Gilera in the latest old bike Australia

Thanks.   I've managed to track down a NOS lower fairing cover along with some other bits and pieces.

I'd be interested to see a pic of the upper cover.   The image in the parts list suggest it is more-or-less flat, but other images I've found suggest it might be curved at each end.   Depending on how 'complex' the shape, my plan is to make this out of appropriately shaped aluminium....painted black, of course.

The lower bracket attachment 'sets' the position of the fairing to a large degree along with the headlamp attachment 'ears', so with some basic dimensions I can machine something suitable.   The dimensions in the diagram below would be a good starting point.



A = lower edge to centre of mount hole (hole slotting allows some vertical adjustment).
B = inside edge to centre of mount hole
C = lower edge to centre line of fairing attachment bolt
D = 'back' face to centre line of fairing attachment bolt

I have an idea for eliminating the factory brackets 'loop' over the headlamp, which will simplify manufacture somewhat.....but it's early days and this isn't going to happen quickly.

Just had a look at the mould and I also have the top bit you are missing.
May have to do a production run.

[XSIIE]

Eagle screens screen fits nicely, the rubber surround can be bought a bunnings. I have the mould for the under bracket piece. I’ll get you a fairly comprehensive measure up on the weekend.

[lambs]

Thanks....I'll whip up a diagram of the sort of dimensions I need to make a start

This is the fairing I have:

 

The fairing body needs some repairs, but nothing major.   Unfortunately the original screen screws had been replaced with steel bolts at some stage and the screen is cracked, particularly at the lower 3 holes.   

Eagle screens list a replacement for the RH fairing.
