Yes please! Perhaps in a separate thread. I really like the Road Comet, but dang it, there are times a full fairing would be the bees knees.

I will work on making a how to. I didn't take many pictures of the process, but can take pictures of what I did with a little disassembling. I recently made a mount on the inside of the fairing for my 9mil. I took pictures, but haven't figured out how to shrink them to fit a post.

I've never seen a Road Comet that wasn't colourmatched -- looks awesome to have it in black.

I will say that it does makes it a pleasure to ride on the hwy. even when it rains I don't get very wet. Also with the power this bike has, I don't notice any drag. It's like a mini Goldwing.

I didn't take to this look at first but it is really starting to grow on me. Your larger back rest does a nice job of counterbalancing the bulk of the fairing. There are a lot of these fairings listed on ebay, some are even new old stock.
If you have the time and inclination to write it up for the how-to section, I'd enjoy seeing the install process.

I got mine off eBay. I paid under $200 shipped (had to wait and watch for the right one). Then I found the lowers new old stock, that matched perfectly. I think I paid $120 for them.

Carguy, shrinking pictures is a pain in the neck unless you have a bit of software to do it. It's easier to use a photo hosting site and link to the pictures. See [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1913]this thread on how to do it.
Otherwise let me know what OS you use and I may be able to help with software to shrink your pics.

RE: Windshield - Carguy1959_imp - 08-03-2016
It is a Windjammer IV. The mount I used is from a CB750 (78-79).

Thank you. I would be interested in seeing a write up on your install as well.

Would this mount work? [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-honda-cb-750c-vetter-windjammer-fairing-bracket-stay-/322216307129?hash=item4b0596a9b9:g:sFoAAOSwIgNXo0NA&vxp=mtr]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-honda-cb-75...NA&vxp=mtr
