Not a Dunstall copy, they were designed and manufactured by legendary go-fast guy Don Vesco. It's a Vesco Rapid Transit. I could only dig up a photo of the version with molded in turnsignals on a Beemer. The lowers are attached in the pic.

Sander is right, it is a Vesco fairing.
At least that's what the seller told me the day before the winning bid was placed (sniped actually) with 3 secs left on the auction. :whistle:

Hey Chris, you got it? Sorry I did not respond to going in with you but I'm tapped out. I tossed $40 at it but stopped there. I'm surprised it went as high as it did. If you need help getting it, let me know!

Thanks for the offers of help and a place to "store" it guys. 
I'm going to be picking it up today after the "breakfast club" get-together.
The warden still doesn't know about it....yet! :whistle:
Any ideas on how long I'll be breathing after she sees me unloading that rust-bucket into the driveway? :pinch: :S :blink:

Basically what I got is a rolling rust heap with quite a bit of oxidation on the motor - it looks to have been sitting unused for a very looooong time! :ohmy:
KZJohn is going to stop by later today for a B-B-Q, and we'll likely go over it and see if it can be made a runner w/out throwing to much money at it.
All I really want from it is the Vesco fairing and the Kerker (both will be useable after a little TLC), the bike itself will going to Rose as her first project bike. :woohoo:
Sometime this weekend I'll start a project thread with pics and info on which direction Rose is planning on going with it.
Chris, so tell us what you got? Low milage, good motor? It was a Kerker wasn't it? Just the pipe is almost worth the price!
