Mounting Details for 1st Gen Jota fairing turn signals

[EncinoBoy]

Finally ! Getting around to fitting my Jota fairing but I need details/photos of exactly how the turn signals
mount and are secured in the fairing. I would absolutely like to duplicate the factory method.Thanks

Hi Greg,

Great choice of fairing which gets the thumbs up from me, although many prefer the "Naked" look I absolutely love it.

Regarding the indicator mounting I can only show you how mine are fitted which is how the bike came to me,you will find that they are not exactly a precision fit but with a bit of care and attention to detail you will soon have them fitting securely and looking the part.

Pure 80's styling I originally thought they were caravan indicators but after a bit of research found out they were from an Autobianchi A112, anorak stuff but nice to know I guess.

Anyway here's some photos showing the "clip nut" arrangement which the Indicator body and lense secures to,hope this helps?

Sorry to mention this, but your fairing is upside down.

So that explains the speed wobble then!!

It might actually prevent a speed wobble. The 1980 fairing’s lower wings cause lift at high speed, which lead to instability issues. That’s why a new (rather ugly) fairing was designed for 1981.

Not rather ugly. (orrid!)
They're now a collector, so many have been thrown out.

The Autobianchi thing is the level of anorak that I love and practiced during the years I worked at Land Rover

Interesting comments on the 80’s lift issues. Something I’d never really thought about. The butt ugly ones are function over form then?

And they keep your hands dry

Now,onto part II of the quiz...did Laverda fit a rubber shroud/boot over the electrical connection
to the bulb ? Or should I be asking the Autobianchi Forum...

Butt ugly is subjective, I like the look and yes I know many don't, but we have said many times if you want to go fast they work, if you want to go and get a nice caramel latte they make no diff whatsoever

They're beautiful compared to that butt ugly TS fairing.
I kinda like the 81 fairings

 

[piranha-bro2]

81 fairings actually look like they work, and i believe from reports that they do. Certainly not butt ugly. Nuff said.

Taste is very much taste dependent.

If ever myself or Steve (Schurminater) attained a lift inducing velocity we would very likely have ridden over a cliff. We are not the quickest on two wheels.

I do hope I wasn't navigating!

Given the amount of earlier triples and twins we see with replica 81-82 fairings retrofitted, I think you’re onto something…..

The TS and 30th ugly ones are interesting.




Perhaps Laverda were looking to grow the Yankee market, remembering this was around the time when Yanks were fitting those butt ugly Windjammer fairings to almost anything that had two wheels?

Boys,Boys enough about fairing esthetics. For real nightmarish Col. Kurtz horror
everybody quickly now investigate the Jacwal Super Wedge...Ugly fairings could
become a whole new thread.

Hi.
I have a JOTA 1979, but I dont like the faring, and sold the faring, I like a JOTA clean

 

[EncinoBoy]

Those A112's,what a chick magnet ! We of course in N. America AFAIK never had any
Autobianchi's but I don't think anyone cared. Now,about those rubber protective
shrouds.
