The first one is easy. It's off of rstnick's bike. This a Rickman fairing?
Any other fairings or even half-fairings in this style that I'm missing?

I've also got a Hannigan fairing in my garage. Their a fair bit larger. More of a cruising fairing. Their website seems to be down or something.
Dunstall is another old school fairing.
Check out these sites:

So, any idea of what that guy charges for his repro's? I'll give him a call, but I have a feeling it's gonna be $$$.
I'm gonna be riding out to Utah this fall and need something to help me fight the wind. I was thinking of going to that style fairing to begin with, but it looks like if I want to hunt one down it may be more a matter of years, not months. Maybe I'll find some butt-ugly but cheap one just for the trip.
Edit: Ooh, that Hannigan looks promising. *begins frantic googling*

I had this fairing on for a number of years:
It was handle bar mounted. Some handle bar mounted fairings will throw your steering around a bit when a large truck/bus passes you in the opposite direction.
I took it off one Winter and left it off to start the season. After a few long rides I put it right back on. My neck was getting too sore without it.

Edit: Wow, you've got some good taste. That fairing looks good too, and those hard cases are gorgeous. I'm going to start stalking your bike for ideas.

Shipping would need a box the size of a stove and would cost big $$$.
I tried shipping an exhaust once to the USA that was going to need a large lawn mower box. That was going to cost $200 if I remember correctly.
A box for this fairing would be even bigger I think.
Pick up would work best. I live North of Toronto Ontario Canada.

I'll keep it in the back of my mind, and maybe we can work out a deal down the road.
What's the brand of that quarter fairing you had?
I really appreciate the help.

I still have it in my garage as well. I bought it at a motorcycle scrappers years ago.
Shoei makes a similar fairing I believe.
Here are some Shoei fairings on ebay:

Of course, this would be my ideal fairing. Anyone got a spare lying around?
Here's a link to a company that's reproducing the Goose Bike fairing:
