Sorry, it just isn't as pretty as the V11 LeMans fairing.

Yep, I can ride this all day in (relative) comfort.. better than Rosie, for instance..

I can vouch for that Lario (LM IV) fairing being all they say it is. I have the V11 Lemans (03) and it is great as stock. I had the taller (lipped) MRI screen and it isn't as good as the shorter stock screen as that creates smoother air. Those lips at the top aren't always what they seem to be for creating more buffetting. My LM1 screen on the super Lario hangs out front a bit and the screen rolls smoothy back and down. Amazingly it is comparable to the stock lario screen in protection. You can't always tell what something is going to do by looks alone. I'd love to see how the Duc screen feels as I bet it's pretty darned good in the smooth department.

In the doing more with less the LM IV/Lario/LM ! are great screens. The small B 750/Ballabio-type just make for thunder in the helmet it seems.

I'll keep that in mind next time I need to knock out a thousand miles of Colorado twisties. I guess I need a different motorcycle...

To be fair, you did do that trip in a DAY!

No it isn't and isn't meant to be. It's made for aerodynamics and function like the early SP fairings, but it's better than them, IMHO.

Having impulse bought a V11 Sport, and having owned 2 other Guzzis with bikini fairings, I ended up mounting this one from Omar's. It gives good protection, especially from the wind blast on chest and shoulders.

I never liked totally naked bikes, I always felt I had to hang on tight to keep from getting blown off, it's for me an unsettling feeling.

Hey Rocker59,

Never mind the naysayers. I like your Ducati fairing.

I also like the silver Guzzi with Omar's fairing on it.

They look great.

Lateness.

True. I guess that was a "day trip". LOL!

I've taken it to The Gulf, and to the Illinois Rally with camping gear. Overnighters. And loved every mile of it...

Dude, nice looking bike, but in that condition it's obviously only used for daytripping.

I miss my V11. I also miss my Daytona RS. Both pretty bikes.

That looks great! Gotta go the extra mile (pun intended) with a proper paint job to match.

I've always had a thing for silver bikes. On my 3rd one now.

Goes to show, not everyone likes to ride behind a friggin' barn door!

After riding what were two wheeled land yachts for so many years the Norge seems like half fairing. I will say that after riding a 1984 BMW R100RS for a number of years I still miss the forward riding position. I would love it if the Norge had narrower and lower bars.

I've gotta agree, but the V11 Lemans fairing doesn't work for me. Turbulence on my helmet made my neck/shoulders ache after a long ride. Tried the MRA, no joy. Maybe the duck fairing would work better? <shrug> Dunno.

Got a Givi A755 on my Breva 1100 works for me.

I think the BMW R90 fairing is best.

Not bad, actually. I definitely prefer this to the very dated looking square headlight fairing but not nearly as well as the round headlight Lemans fairing. Sorry, I just think those Lemans series, especially the Nero and Corsa are some of the nicest faired bikes ever produced though I guess they are more half fairing than full.

And it looks pretty darned good!

For all you V11 Sport guys fawning over the V11 LeMans fairings, I think this would work better !!!

imho, i think that fairing is perfectly stunning match to the V11 tank and tail contours. i have a Stucchi matching on my Greenie.

This Givi A210 is comfortable at any speed I am riding. Clean air on my helmet, and no buffeting felt at all.

I have wondered what the Stone would look like with this on it, and what kind of air flow it would provide.

I have one, just haven't tried it yet. I would would want to match the paint instead of gloss black.

Arizona Wayne · « **Reply #51 on:** July 27, 2015, 01:03:48 AM »

I had that fairing on my Suzuki VX800..........very disappointed in lack of upper body wind protection. On a fairing that small, if the windshield doesn't force the air upward forget about upward body protection.

Thanks Wayne. Too bad it doesn't have a small lip on the rear.
