Italianiron & BritIron Classics, Bodywork Updates

Posted by Scot P Wilson on Dec 31st 2023

At Italianiron & BritIron Classics, let us "Fuel Your Race Passions" is not just a slogan but a commitment, whether you are building a vintage TT or Pantah racer for competition, a Ducati F1 vintage street bike or restoring a Norton Commando or Manx racer. We want to thank the massive number of our customers internationally and domestically for another great year!! 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. 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. Thanks to a Danish friend, we now have some molds of the Ducati TT 900 F1 front fairing that we are getting ready for production to offer to Bevel  racers and street riders. Thanks to Per, I was able to purchase a set of these TT 900 F1 fairings from him some time ago for my Ducati 900 ss MHR as shown above. That fairing remains my favorite full fairing for a Ducati bevel drive.  Stay tuned as we do some production runs and "dry-fit" to confirm fitment before making available for purchase. This is one of the exciting aspects of being involved in the world of vintage Italian & British racing motorcycles that we can be of service with a cross section of products and services. 

We have also become known as a top quality source for providing race quality bodywork. In addition to our bodywork offerings for bevel and belt driven Ducati's and Norton singles and twin cylinder racers, we offer bodywork kits for other marques as well. We currently have a "Dustbin" fairing going to Japan, a Yamaha TR3 set of fairings going to Canada and more Vic Camp fairings for Ducati Single racers shipping domestically here in the states as well, just to name a few. Shown above is one of our race quality Ducati Bevel "Imola" fuel tanks that we recently sent to a customer in Australia. The quality of our fiberglass fuel tanks will allow the usage of "pump gas" in our fuel tanks up to E5. In addition, with so many different fiberglass fuel tanks on offer throughout the world, proper "fitment" is always of concern as well. We manufacture both our fiberglass and our aluminum fuel tanks to fit properly "right out of the box" as shown above on Danial's gorgeous Ducati 900 ss. If your project requires the use of non-standard dimensions, please contact me at Italianiron7@gmail.com to confirm any non-standard application. For example and in the case of our Ducati "Imola" fuel tanks, we have 3 different options on offer. 

We have been manufacturing and offering bodywork kits for Ducati bevel drives, TT2 & TT1 racers, and for Ducati Pantah's & F1 racers and street bikes for just over decades now. We are, therefore, very confident in the quality of our race quality bodywork offerings as we manufacture our products with the best quality fiberglass and not the chopped strand type that is common from many other manufacturers. As we are dealers for some other notable bodywork manufacturers, there is a qualitative difference between our race quality bodywork products and other brands that may be cheaper. In addition to our quality fiberglass bits, we now offer carbon fiber bodywork as an option as well. Please know that we will never offer the cheapest items whether referring to our bodywork components or engine spares as that is not in our DNA. It is also not appropriate when supporting the international Sport of Vintage Motorcycle Racing. Through our BritIron subsidiary we are very proud of the quality of our aluminum fuel tanks and fiberglass bodywork for Norton Manx and Norton Commando racers and street machines. 

In addition to our product portfolio for 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 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 technology of these amazing machines. Let us "Fuel Your Race Passions" to keep the sport of Vintage Motorcycle Racing alive and well!!
