So why not just tap the hole to a size that you can easily get or already have?

Tap one, and then I have to tap all four. Easier to replace it with a used one.

Maybe Joe Kenny??!!  JJKPGUZZI on ebay.  I've not seen the style shown/mentioned above in Joe's line up but he might be able to fab them.....they look like something that is in his wheelhouse.

I don’t own a Breva, mine is a Norge but my son had this.


I cannot see anywhere significant where it’s different than a Breva.

I have a 2006 Breva 1100 and like the fairings on the 1200 Sports.  It looks like one would fit my 1100.  Am I overlooking anything?  Has anyone done this?  It appears to be a straight bolt on.  Thanks!

Great reviews. Figured the worse thing that could happen is I had to return it. After receiving it and using it now for 2 years, I agree with the reviews. This thing is fantastic and well worth the little money.

I'm glad you fessed up to buying one of these "thrifty"-priced jackets, there are a bazillion different variations of this style on Amazon & ebay, all with similar poorly-translated and obviously off-shore writeups, but surprisingly good-looking and well-made looking.  Tempting for the price. And light-colored is what I want, most have excessive black panels (in my opinion).

I see Tourmaster has a mesh jacket that gets good reviews, might go for that one because my Transition 3.0 fits so well and is well-made. But thanks for all the suggestions, I look up all of them to make comparisons.

Sure it isn't a issue with the stamping or casting that makes it look like a VB? Some lemans stampings weren't cast straight making some VE's look like a VF

I just wanted to add more confusion to the serial number discussion. I have a 1976 LeMans with an engine number of VB 070239. Yes, it's definitely VB not VE.  Frame number is 70239 with a build date of Jan-1976. A really early LeMans I think.
