Mounting Vetter Fairing was created by Grumpy Ole Artist
A buddy donated an old Wind jammer III fairing to my "cause" (78 kz650b). Has harness, but no mounting brackets...Any ideas where one could find a set? No idea what type bike it came off of...These fairings aren't brand specific, are they?
not totally sold on the idea of running it, but if it wouldn't be too costly, I thought I would like to at least try fitting it and see how it looks/handles...Thanx!

The fairings will fit almost any bike. The brackets are different, that's all. I made the one on my KZ1000. I hung the fairing from the shop crane in the right location and cut and fit the parts to the bike. Tack welded it in place and took it off the bike to finish weld it. I had a mounting bracket modified to fit a Honda I think, so had some parts to start with. If you don't have the capabilities, go to Craig Vetters website. www.craigvetter.com/pages/Vetter_Fairings/Home-made-mounts.html . He doesn't sell them but he has a link to some one that has/had a whole bunch and some advise on how to position the fairing and fab one up. Also eBay is a source for used ones.

Lots of readers here hate the look of the Windjammer but I like it. And nobody can argue with the protection it affords while riding not to mention the storage it affords.
