Does anybody have for sale, or possibly know of the whereabouts of a replacement Vampire screen??

This is before I embark on the process of having a new batch manufactured in the three height options that were originally available.

Any information gratefully received.

Thanks,

Just FYI Rob... I have had VERY good service from the Team at Skidmarx with replacement screens... I bought a replacement screen for a 1979 Vetter Windjammer from them a couple of months ago... Top quality stuff.

I had a nice ride to Skidmarx on the Vampire yesterday and the guys there were extremely helpful. Unfortunately though we couldn't find anything resembling a Vampire fairing screen and so we have come up with a plan to make a former but I need an ORIGINAL Vampire screen to take the mould from. The one currently fitted on my bike doesn't fit very well.

The original screen I need to borrow can be broken, bashed, hazy or whatever but what we need is the exact shape to fit the Vampire fairing. Would it be possible to make a plea for this on the main HESKETH website? I will return the screen undamaged but I must stress that it has to be an original, not one of the after-market ones like I currently have fitted. I will be making a total of twelve screens in three height options.

Many thanks,

RB

Hello Jeff,

Can you pull the banner "Urgent Loan of Vampire Screen...." please? I'm sticking with the V1000 because the Vampire is too heavy for me now. In fact, it always was......

Also on eBay is my little Ducati 350 Desmo which I am to heavy for :-)

Thanks,

Robert
