Brealey Smith Bodywork

[dusty350]

Hi all
Doing some research on the Lc and I think the c**kpit fairing and bellypan are Brealey Smith items. Google doesn't turn up any info, can anyone confirm that's what they are ?









Any info would be great, thanx.

Regards

that's a nice find. def brearley smith, does it still have the black top fork infills?

[dusty350]

That's a very nice Lc.
The bellypan has an inner plastic shroud rivetted in, and the top fairing has shrouds that cover the clocks and the fork legs;





Forgive my ignorance, but I had never heard of Brealey Smith Were they just an aftermarket fitment ?
They probably wont stay on the Lc as they are not my thing really. Are they worth anything ?

Cheers

It was an after market addition supplied by Yamaha.

Cheers Nigel,
I did think the quality was too good for an aftermarket plastic/glassfibre company. It all seems to fit so well, and the shrouds are a nice touch. I plan on going back to the naked Lc look though, with Lc clocks rather than the powervalve set that's on there. Same with the Mel Lemoto rearsets - I like the original Lc alloy hangers better. Both the fairing and bellypan are in really good nic, with a slight split on the pan but no accident damage. The fairing is really good, and both have been painted by Dream Machine albeit a long time back ! Just missing a bellypan fitting kit, but apart from that it's all there.

Dusty,
As its complete with inserts its worth £300 plus m8. I paid that for mine and it needed repair and paint. Mel lemoto are local to me, I used to buy all my trick lc bits there in the 80's.

Thanx for the reply. Didn't realise they cost that much
Are Mel Lemoto still going ? Had some bits from them for my aircooleds back in the 80's.

Yes they are , still in Kent too. They make rear sets for triumph I think ?

makes that lc even more of a bargain,well done chap

Cheers, My luck changed today though as I think the starter solenoid has packed up on the Efe - bl**dy 4 strokes
The fairing is growing on me a bit but it's coming off none the less to fund an ever growing list of parts needed for the others. Here are some better pics for those that have asked;





















I imagine that these parts were painted after the main bodywork as the paint condition is so much better than the rest of the bike. Norbo has tempted me with a nice KR respray with a sparkle in the paint but I must resist...must resist...!!!

They were coloured plastic from new no paint !

Cheers for all the info. Gonna be in the for sale section as soon as I find time to remove them.
