I hope the picture of a used fairing I bought from Gutzibits appears here somewhere.
I have a 2021 V7 Centenario which I would like to add a cockpit fairing to. Therefore I bought this because I think it is the same or similar to that which I had on my V50 in about 1982. You can see rectangular holes each side for the indicator’s to fill. I have a memory that on my V50 fairing the indicators were actually from a car, possibly a Fiat. Can anyone remember or is my memory playing tricks on me ?
I will have to botch some sort of mounts for the fairing and my bike has LED indicators so some sort of solution will need to be found but gives me something to do in the winter.
Any help or comments much appreciated.

That looks like its from an SP1000 Spada
The indicators are available, the little rubber/plastic gaskets they sit on are harder to find but I believe they are in stock at Steine Dinse at the moment.

Russell,
Thank you ! Really useful info’.

Hello Colin
The Spada SP1000 and 850 Le Mans II had similar fairings with the 850T4 having only the handlebar fairing you have, without the lower parts. I thought the V35 Imola and V50 Monza had similar fairings but not as large, also V65 SP and Lario and the V75 had similar smaller handlebar fairings.
Fiat headlamp and indicators should fit. If you can ger the fittings you could put your LED lamps in them.
Please post photos!
Best wishes Chris
Many thanks again ! When I look at pictures of my 1979 V50 fairing, I think you are correct, it is a bit smaller than the one I have bought (bought 2 actually because one had a screen with it too). I wonder if it is going to look too big on the V7 ?
Here is a picture of the fairing loosely placed on my bike to get an idea.
I think that fairing is slightly narrower than the Spada one, it would be from a V50 or V65SP
Someone in my local VMCC section has grafted a Spada fairing onto a Breva and it doesn’t look out of place

Good picture and thanks for the info.

nice, are you going to get it sprayed centenario green?
That would be the intention but few problems first. Mounting it, fitting it round the headlight which has bits sticking out the sides and then indicators. I’m no engineer and at present no garage, shed or anything. O well, it’s a nice idea.

I think the v7 special has the older style round headlight? maybe you could fit one if those instead
Thanks, that’s useful to know.
Colin.
