I was mindful of the same. The Windjammer was a fantastic fairing and would make the CB a tourer with generous wind protection. Had a Windjammer on my '73 BMW and my wife's '79 KZ650.

The Vesco Rabid Transit fairing is from circa 1980, and it combines aerodynamics and comfort for the rider. Don Vesco was a famous racer from California that built the worlds fastest motorcycles and held the ultimate land speed records (LSR) for 2 wheeled motorcycles at Bonneville several times. The fairing adds 15% top end speed and 10% increased fuel economy, plus it is absolutely sensational to ride behind.
It cleverly uses the Vetter frame mount bracketry from the same era. I modified a 1980 GS1000 bracket (whose frame is pretty close dimensionally to the 2013 CB1100) with some cutting and welding to accommodate the CB1100 oil cooler.
This is a the 4th motorcycle I've mounted a Vesco fairing in the past 35 years. Many memorable sport-tours in that time, and more to come. Grand Canyon, Montana, Black Hills, California, here I come.

Smooth and stable w/o wind buffeting while bumping into the speed limiter on an abandoned airport runway.

It's a little eerie to think of how "correct" that looks.
