ItalianIron & BritIron Classics: Ducati TT 900 F1 Fairing Kit Mounted
Posted by Scot P Wilson on Apr 30th 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 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. We continue to help restorers and racers with providing them with top quality racing spares and offering painting services when required due to our restoration expertise and build results. We have also had a great deal of success as a dealer for Marvic magnesium wheels that we have provided to our racing & street riding customers. We do have schematic diagrams from the factory to aide our customers with their applications. We are currently very excited to offer either in race quality carbon fiber or race quality fiberglass what we list as our TT 900 F1 fairing kit like the fairing kit Mike Hailwood used in 1979 at the IOM TT. I have also "dry-fitted" this fairing kit to a Pantah racer and it mounts up well on the Pantah chassis. 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 race quality products and services.

Shown above is how our fairing kit arrives in a rich red gelcoat. In this case, I am replacing my fiberglass fairing kit from years ago that is currently mounted, in exchange for our new Carbon Fiber fairing kit on my 1978 Ducati 900 ss MHR. Also as dealers for Marvic magnesium wheels, we will be adding a set of 18" Marvic magnesium "Campy" styled wheels. In addition, we are honored to work with Michael Arnott as we installed and use his outstanding Hand Held Dyno kit that works brilliantly with our US made, billet SmartCarb flat-slide carbs! I will do a separate write-up with videos on a separate blog post publication regarding our successes using the Hand Held Dyno kit. All this work is going on as we install our newly manufactured carbon fiber fairing kit that is just recently out of the molds. We are using the same molds that were used originally when I first ordered my bevel drive's fiberglass fairing kit, but now we own those molds. As such, we had every confidence that our newly manufactured fairing kit would fit brilliantly, which it has, as shown below. We wish to thank Ben at Cycle Skins here in Tucson, Arizona USA who did an absolutely brilliant job painting our carbon fiber fairing kit!! Thanks for getting the Bimota metal flake green color that I love so much to match the rest of the bike. Cycle Skins will be doing our paintwork going forward as our painter is now in hospice. We are all reminded that life is fleeting and we need to savor every moment while living each day to the fullest. Therefore, follow your passions and take your bike to the track or on a Ducati club ride!!
Please note that we do manufacture fuel tanks and bodywork kits for numerous Ducati, TT & Norton models of vintage racing and street motorcycles. Our TT 900 F1 fairing kit fits all Ducati bevel drive twins and as mentioned previously fits nicely on a Pantah race chassis. We also manufacture bodywork kits for other marques such as Aermacchi, MotoGuzzi, Honda, Triumph & Yamaha to name a few.The majority of our bodywork is available in either race quality carbon fiber or race quality fiberglass. Our fuel tanks are manufactured in either fiberglass and warranted up to E10 or hand made in aluminum on an english wheel, gas welded and annealed all over to prevent leaking. As a result, we offer a superior product that will fit your bike straight out of the box. Weather you participate in vintage motorcycle racing or are restoring your vintage Italian, British or Japanese treasure, we are equipped to assist your efforts. One can always find products that are cheaper on the internet but not with the superior quality for the price than at Italianiron & Britiron Classics. Please contact me at Italianiron7@gmail.com with specific questions as it pertains to your application. Please also note that for European customers we can ship out of the UK and for our customers in Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Australia we continue to offer highly competitive rates to your final international destination from our location here in Arizona USA. Check out the different albums of our builds on my Scot P Wilson (Italianiron Classics) FB profile page for ideas and review the step-by-step process that we take that we hope will offer some insights of each build.

We are also having great fun working on Norton Manx and Norton twin cylinder racers which is where I initially "cut my teeth" racing 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!!
