Posted by Scot P Wilson on Jul 14th 2024

At Italianiron & BritIron Classics, let us "Fuel Your Race Passions" is not just a slogan but a commitment, whether you are building a vintage Ducati TT or Ducati Pantah racer for competition, a Ducati F1 vintage street bike or restoring a Norton Commando or Manx racer. We continue to offer a comprehensive, specialty portfolio of Ducati TT, Pantah, F1 as well as Molnar Manx and Norton Commando engine, chassis and bodywork kits to all of our customers worldwide. Due to the closure of AirTech in the US, we have become even busier offering our bodywork kits for racers and restorers for other marques and models. This is in addition to our acclaimed kits for Ducati TT, Ducati Pantah and Ducati F1. Shown above is an example of our Ducati TT race and Ducati TT street bodywork kits and fuel tanks on offer as shown above. We continue to help restorers and racers with providing them with top quality spares and offering painting services when required due to our restoration expertise and build results. This is one of the exciting aspects of being involved in the world of vintage Italian, British & Japanese racing motorcycles that we can be of service with a cross section of products and services.

Lately, we have introduced and discussed the application of our Ducati 900 F1 NCR front fairing like Mike Hailwood used at the IOM TT in 1979. This has been the fairing of choice for my 1978 Ducati 900 ss MHR and we offer it in quality fiberglass or carbon fiber. We have also been supplying "Imola" Endurance style fuel tanks for Ducati 750 and 900 Bevel Drive Ducati Twins. Fitment on these Ducati Bevel Drive models: 1985 MHR 1000, 1971-73 GT 750, 1973-1974 Sport 750, 1974-1977 Super Sport 750, 1979-1983 MHR 900 and 1975 -1978 SS 900. We also offer seat bases, full fairings, and half fairings for our Ducati Bevel Drive Twins and Singles like our Vic Camp bodywork kit. Our Vic Camp fairing kit has been successfully used with Maico, Greeves, Moto Morini, and Tiger Cub racers. Worthy of note is that we offer high quality windscreens for all of the fairing kits that we have on offer. Don't forget that we offer our specialty race fairing kit, fuel tank and seat base for Ducati Pantah racers and street machines. In addition to what we have for vintage Ducati's, we also manufacture specialty fairing kits such as the "Double Bubble" Aermacchi kit as well as the DMD Streamline "Dustbin" fairing that was used historically by different marques and models of machines.

In addition to our Norton Manx and Norton Commando bits available through our BritIron Classics operation, we also offer bodywork for other British racers like this Robb North "Letterbox" full fairing as shown above for Triumph's and BSA's. The famous factory "Letterbox" fairing shown above is available for the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket Three F750 racers. Because of the curvatures and 3-dimensional shapes of our fairings, the posted diagrams with dimensions are only approximate but hopefully helpful. The fairings are fairly flexible in most cases so it is possible that the lower parts of a full fairing could be widened or narrowed from the widths given. We also have AVON fairings for singles and twin cylinder machines where the exhaust is mounted to the underside and center of the engine. Additionally, we have on offer the Kirby fairings commonly used on Manx racers, Seeley full fairing for single or twin cylinder racers and the famous Peel Mountain Mile fairing, as used on the IOM (Isle of Man) and in Grands Prix events due to its excellent weather protection and streamlining capabilities. Check out other generic "Cafe Racer" bodywork to support your projects as well. 

We also have numerous bodywork kits for Japanese racers. Our fairing kits are a faithful copies of the original Yamaha TR3 race fairing, Yamaha TZ 350 for mid-1970's Yamaha TZ racers and the Yamaha TZ 700 fairing kit for use with larger capacity Yamaha engines as shown above. In addition, the TZ 700 fairing kit will also accommodate Honda 4 cylinder engines and Suzuki 3 cylinder engines. As it pertains to Honda racers in particular, we offer fairing kits for the Honda CR 750 4 cylinder motorcycles. In addition, we offer Honda fairing kits for CB 250, 350, 450, 500 and 550 twin cylinder machines. We have provided diagrams with measurements to assist you, the builder in an effort to ensure that our fairing will meet the requirements of your particular build. However, due to the curvatures and 3 dimensional shapes of fairings, measurements are approximate and should be used for guidance primarily. Understanding that fairings are fairly flexible, in most cases, please know that it is possible that the lower parts of a full fairing could be widened or narrowed from the widths given on our listing.

We are also having great fun working on Norton Manx and Norton twin cylinder racers which is where I initially "cut my teeth" participating in period racing such as BOTT. In addition to our product portfolio for Ducati TT and other Ducati racers, we are also excited to support enthusiasts for Norton Manx and Norton Commando racers through Molnar Manx and BritIron Classics Norton. Check out our Norvil fairings & windscreen offerings. Please review the numerous newly manufactured TT, Ducati F1 and Norton Commando items such as our aluminum fuel tanks, for example, and listed on my Italianiron.com website. British marques are listed on the BritIron or Molnar Manx section of the website. As a result of our offerings, it is our hope to help you to become immersed in the history, the passion and the early racing technology of these amazing machines. Let us "Fuel Your Race Passions" to keep the sport of Vintage Motorcycle Racing alive and well!!
