Tough one. That stuff is repairable (atleast here in the States -- OR have Mike C make some for you :huh: ), but it'll never be as good as new. Replace it for sure. You're feeling OK I take it?
 
Re:Breva & Norge picture thread

Never as good as new? A new fairing is a new fairing - or that's what you're saying? I'll get her towed coming monday, and then we'll see. I just read a short interview with an Aprilia rep who said they'd improved themselves concerning the replacement parts availability... we'll see about that!

OK? I am, but not really feeling it, no (not just through the bike though).

Sorry, I meant a repaired fairing. New is new for sure. ;)
 
Re:Breva & Norge picture thread

Doesn't look so bad, my question though. What is the rust on the mirror stem? That shouldn't do that . May be a bad chrome job.

The chrome mirrors on Breva, Griso and Norge are... cheap crap.

Replace with Aprilia mirrors as on most of their models (and the 1200 Sport Guzzi) at the earliest opportunity!

No, they're not. Bought a pair when in Mandello. € 54 a pair is not cheap. The 1200 Sports are € 19.
Thats cheap. Maybe both are crap, though......:laugh:

I had my Breva ones replaced under warranty. The replacements were priced at £8. That is cheap!
 
Re: Norge in Action

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Hope you are ok. The bike can be fixed. bodies are tougher to fix.
 
Re: Norge in Action

Hey RJVB, seems peeps are really worried about your mirrors, Hope your ok mate, well this post is a little old so I know you are, but the second thump after picking up the repaired bike...........not good.
As they say get straight back on and ride.
Be lucky
