I like the bikini fairing but a Dunstall type would look good if you can find one fit over the bars.

For RJS:
My Favorite shot of her:
Who said I could not Tour ;o)
Early Pic of me in the late 70's with that slightly modified Rickman Fairing:
WARNING! DO NOT ever paint your ride White = Nobody see's you = Paint her Fire Engine Red with the Biggest headlight you can mount ;o)
Loved that 3/4 Rickman Fairing designed for a 1000 Jap Bike - Kept the wind off my shoulders and legs but mostly the rain off in an all night down pour to get home - Can't say my leathers did not weight more then me when I stopped ;o)
Breganzie designed their Bikes to be Personally Modified 'p)
My 3 Angels who guided me Home ;o)

That Rickman Jap Fairing looked better on a Breganzie then any Jap bike ;o)
And it weighted less then 4 lbs = Plus I saved more weight on the Exhaust using a Slater Brothers 2 into One - Had to change the Main Jets from127 to 132's - Considering the Carbs are Open Mouth Dellorto VBH 132's - Keeping the momentum, she could hit 120mph down any straight and rev well over 7400 rpm in any gear ;o)
Striped down for Maintenance:
I owned that ride for over 45 years and loved it - Extremely easy to work on - And the last Bike I sold before I quit riding ;o(
If you didn't dote on her she could easily kill you !
Absolutely one of the most Beautiful 750's ever designed.
Kinda hated to hide the engine with the 3/4 fairing but my legs took prescience - Considering how fast she could go hours on end covering long distances Day or Night in Shine or Rain.
PS: Them big drums where a life saver in the rain (Hell of a lot better then a slippery disc Norton or Jap bike in the rain) = Gotta remember my Play Ground was the High lands of Northern Ontario Cambrian Shield where storm clouds rained above and there was no sign of civilization for a 100 miles ;o)
In all them years, I NEVER saw a another Breganzie Twin but did come across a couple Triples passing thorough.
I suppose you could cut off the leg extension of the Universal Jap Rickman 3/4 fairing designed for a 1000cc 70's Jap 4 cyl and make her Bikini Style to show off your Breganzie Engine but you would loose leg protection. It will be hard to find either a Rickman or Dunstall fairing today; where as, there are Repo Breganzie SFC Bikini fairings available.
This is what I looked at when I mounted my SF:
She was 17" at her widest point.
Original Honda Bars except I turned them down and bent them some what to clear the Fairing and Welded Stops on the steering.head too prevent the bars from hitting the tank.. Resulted in terrible maneuvering in Parking lots but made no diff when bugging through the curves - If any thing actually benefit me diving into a corners beyond my expectations = I say FUCK Cooperate Bar designs Just bent them to your desire - You don't need restrictive Clip on's ..;o)
She could never be one of these ;o(

What did you paint the frame with Ron? Two pack?

Chrisk: After prepping to bear metal and sanding, I applied about 3 coat's of Red Oxide Epoxy Primer, sanded with 220 then shot with Gloss Black Automotive Oil resistant Tremclad. It's very tough - Don't make the mistake of using a Lacquer as it will dissolve with gasoline.

Sorry to cut and paste, but I can’t figure out the quote tool.
I have a Dunstall, seat, tank and fairing with lowers for a Honda CB500/550 if anyone is interested. Available in spring of 2026 in North America or in Europe about six to nine months later. There is a scratched windscreen, but no mounting brackets.

They are frame mounted half fairings, not fork mounted quarter fairings, and unless mounted ridiculously high restrict you to clipons below the triple clamp.

Piazzola is a charming place.An opportunity to meet Giovanni
I've known Giovanni since he was a youngster.Totally inapt to use that motorcycle to vaunt Italian innovation. It's more an illustration that even the best can do the worst.

Right…. That’s it!
You’re going to be banished from the ‘Help me with my Zanelisty thingy majigie’
If anyone can bang out some slightly reasonable hp from what was a 500 base (before they go bang) they should be applauded….. …don’t even utter the D word!
500 with 50 hp that would split its cases when raced modified to put out 90 hp with a lack of development and little quality control.Right…. That’s it!

Sorry if I refereed the Laverda 750 SFC Faring to a Bikini - No disrespect ;o)
Breganzie allowed me to make that 70 750 SF0 into an all weather long distance Cafe torpedo - My Buyer turned her back into a Postage Stamp - Each to your own - Breganzie designed her to be that way back then - Probably the 1st Motorcycle Manufacture to do so and none have done it since.
Fantastic motorcycle in my opinion and I've ridden lots of various motorcycles in my years - Maybe you want to be Evel Knievel ;o)
Breganzie's were advertised as naked Italian Stallions for the Mediterranean but I'm a Northerner and like a Viking and need Armour - The lighter the better ;o)

Hey Chrisk: You can brush on that Red Iron Oxide Epoxy Primer, sand smooth then Spray Can that Tremclad or Rustolium Hi-Gloss Black Automotive Acrylic Enamel - Super hard finish - Better then crap Electro-Plating or Powder Coat as you can repair it if you ever damage it ;o)
Excuse my editing as I have a broken finger and vision issues ;o(
