Title: V7 Cafe Fairing
Post by: DonQuixote on December 25, 2020, 10:48:58 PM
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all first and let's hope 2021 will be better.
Does anyone have this particular front fairing installed and if so I'd appreciate a tip of how to do it. I'm more concerned regarding the right hand side where the brake and throttle cables are in the way. It comes without an installation kit and it has 2 holes under the headlight opening that can be used in the installation process. I can fabricate some sort of a bracket but my main concern are the cables on the right. I have a V7 Stone btw. Thanks

What brand is that fairing?

If it is for the V7 Racer, then you will need clip ons or low handlebars so the hand controls stay in the gap.

Maybe AirTech has some mounting hardware or knows who fabricates it: https://airtech-streamlining.com/moto-guzzi-fairings-seats-fenders-parts/prodguz.htm

It's a generic universal fairing that I've purchased online. The gap appears to be large enough to accommodate the handle bars and clutch cable. Problem is with the right hand side where the brake and throttle cables are in the way.
I mean I could just cut the fairing there and make room for those two cables but I rather not since that will affect the aesthetics.
I read a review someplace where it said that he rerouted the cables... Wish I knew what he meant by that.
I'm going to check Air Tech and see what I can find in their site. Thanks
