Hi,

Can someone out there with a series 2 Jota help me with this?
I am rebuiling the long-running 1200TS project with a series 2 Jota fairing.
No problem getting it to fit at the front, but the rear bracketry has me puzzled.
I have a big gap between the fairing, and the steel brackets that mount underneat the tank, near the coils. See photo.
Are the brackets wrong for this fairing? Or do I just need to bend them?
If the brackets are correct, what goes in the gap? A rubber mounting of some kind?
A photo would be really helpful, if possible.

thank,
Steve

You got them on the wrong way round, swap them side for side, may need to shim them with a washer as the ballast resistors were originally sandwiched between the bracket and the frame.

Look at the line of the fairing on the bike.
The lower edge of the fairing should be horizontal and sort of parallel to the bottom of the tank.
It does look like the edges of your brackets have been turned up, maybe to mount a pair of these rubber mounts such as used on the oil cooler bracket?
Mine only had thin rubber washers between fairing and bracket, but the edges were not turned up as much as yours are.
 
Boba,

The front bracket seems standard, still has a Laverda label on it. See pictures below.

Keith,

I did swop the brackets from side to side - repeatedly! The only effect is as seen in the last picture I posted.
I have also discovered that I can't fit the fuel tank; the seams hit the side brackets and hold it up about 50mm off the rear rubber mounts. ::)
I am beginning to think that these barckets may have come off a different model of combine harvester... :D

Anyway, thanks for trying to help, all suggestions appreciated.

regards,
Steve

Steve,

The brackets should end below the fairing, the tank should clear them by a good 5-10mm.  Shouldn't matter either which tank is fitted, the bottom edge is in about the same position on both 1000 and 1200 tanks.  The outer ends of the brackets seem to have been fucked messed around with, the step isn't as pronounced in stock form iIrc.  OCT has new ones on the shelf to compare with.  Only this type of bracket was used on the triples ex-factory afaIk.

My Jota 120 brackets do NOT have the kick upwards at the end, they are dead flat.
This is probably not as standard, but everything fits beautifully so I am not about to change it.

My flattened bracket is about 10mm below the bottom edge of the seated tank and secures BELOW the fairing.
 
Simon,

You may have provided the critical missing piece of the puzzle.
I found two pictures, which seem to show two different versions of bracket - look closely at the ends.
It seems I have the wrong one.


Rgds,
Steve

there are two sets of different brackets I am told for this fairing so above looks like you"ve cracked it.?
 
Steve,

Looking at the 2 types of bracket, I'd say the kinked variant is for the fugly MkI fairing.  That fairings' lowers slant downwards to the rear and the brackets next to the pictured orange fairing would probably fit that nicely.  It is mounted quite a bit higher than the later type.

Doesn't mean I'm a great fan of the Mk II fairing... :D
