Why were they banned?

For the very reason they don't work on the street , crosswinds really push a dustbin fairing around . Well , and speeds were getting a bit too high for the tires and brakes of that era .

Post by: Turin on February 23, 2018, 06:29:45 PM: I believe Evan Wilcox made that fairing. ( hand beaten aluminum by Wilcox is not cheap).

I don't know if that fairing is worth $43,000.00 though.

Post by: Old Jock on February 24, 2018, 03:58:56 AM: There seem to be quite a lot of these around

Here is one not nearly so nice but a "bin" all the same I seen on E-Bay a while back.

The guy wanted funny money but not as much as that guy is asking

I've never been completely convinced that it would be that bad in a steady crosswind. It would move the center of pressure forward, but as long as you had a good front tire and a steady hand...

Post by: Roebling3 on February 25, 2018, 09:05:04 PM: Pikipiki, Has anyone seen the other side of that bike? It may be easier taking the fairing off than doing the same on a Daytona. It still scares me when prying that fairing apart, while trying not to scuff anything. Is an 1100 Sport easy? R3~
Title: Re: CUSTOM ONE-OFF DUSTBIN MOTO GUZZI
Post by: Turin on February 26, 2018, 08:15:16 PM: No. DaytonaRS / 1100Sport fairing removal is a bit easier if you turn the forks all the way in one direction and wiggle the fairing off.
