That's kind of nice, I've never seen that treatment before.   Hope we can figure out whose it is ....

There are a few out there. I think a Sport 1100 fairing will work too.

I tried a Sport 1100 fairing. Couldn't make it work for me.. <shrug>

Definitely a V11 LeMans fairing as Paul sez. I'm not familiar enough with the differences in spine frames to know whether the LeMans Mounting kit would bolt straight up to a Centy?

You planning on going touring Adam?

Yep.  Modified V11 LeMans fairing.

Good luck finding one.  They're rare as hens teeth...

Here's another.  Dave Carlson had a bunch of "fabs" to make it work.

As much as I love the V11 fairing, it looks like a Jammer on the Centy.

Needs a bigger fairing! Dustbin!  ;-T

My Centauro had the Pichler Uni-4 fairing on it. I really liked it.  I sold the bike to Tinnman several years back.  As far as I know, he still has it.

No, I have always liked the look of it and I can see now with a few different colors that the yellow is interesting and carries it better. It seems as if the front end is lower but I can see the forks aren't protruding through the top of the triple clamp. The dark colors look, well......ODD! ???

Centauros are an "acquired taste" at the best of times.   Add anything to them, and it becomes either much better or much worse, depending on where you're starting from ..... !

I've worked it out :)
The Yellow version is the GT model. The carrier rack is integrated. Also, the section around the forward indicators is painted the same anthracite as the tank panels. It completely alters the perception of the lines of this bike.

Agreed! This bike polarizes. So many people stop and check it out  :drool,........or is it me? :o

I'd love to do one but not to a yellow.
