Vetter Windjammer Hardware needed (KZ750)

Hey folks,
A guy was looking for a m/c jack and I had one that wasn't being used. He had a Fairing from a VN750 he wanted to trade so we traded.

Anyways I'm now looking for the hardware mounts off a Vetter Fairing for a 1983 KZ750. I've searched e-bay with no luck yet. If someone has one or know where to get one please let me know.

thanks, Sal

Let me try to post a pic...

That doesn't look like a Vetter fairing, and if it's not then a Vetter fairing mount isn't going to do you a lot of good.

A fairing mount off a VN750 would probably be a good start.

On the other hand, if you really want a Vetter fairing mount, you can adapt most to fit what ever you need, I adapted a KZ750 four Vetter Quicksilver mount to a 79 750 twin, and one from a 82 750 twin to a 82 KZ1000M.

Hey Steell, your right the fairing is not a Vetter, it's a Kawasaki Tour Pack Fairing. I have the mounts for the VN750 but it will not work.

I thought maybe the Vetter fairing mounts for this particular bike would be a closer fit than the ones for the VN750.

Did you have any problems adapting the 750 twin mount to the KZ1000M due to the header pipes? That is my main problem with the fairing mounts that came with the Fairing.

I've been talking to a guy here locally that needs the fairing mounts I have and he has the mounts off of a KZ (unknown model & year). I plan to meet with him soon to see the mounts he has. Hopefully we can adapt them to fit my KZ750.

Here' a pic of the VN750 mount

I've got a Vetter mount for a '79 KZ650.

It's in the picture below, right side.
The bracket on the mount with two holes bolts to just below the steering head where the horn is on the 650.
Just to the left of that bracket are the two points that clamp to the motorcycle's frame downtubes. I could measure it up if you like.

im not positive that its for the 1000, it came with my bike but was never mounted so it could very well be for another model

Rstnick, that fairing mount is for a Vetter Quicksilver, just in case you don't already know. A Quicksilver fairing mount is harder to find than a Windjammer mount.

I had my son hold the fairing up to the KZ750 and it looked to big for her. She's kinda skinny up front.

Ended up giving it away to a guy with a few VN750's which was what the fairing came off of.

Probably end up getting a cafe-style fairing like this one.
