RE: Touring Conversion Complete
#10

Reminds me of the Vetter Windjammer I had on my 1980 Yamaha 1100G. I bought the speaker dash for it and installed a Radio Shack AM/FM/CB radio in it. The whip antenna was mounted on the back rack and provided good radio range. The CB was used by a number of riders in our touring club for bike to bike communication. It was also useful listening to the truckers that could provide information about police, accidents, and rain.
I also installed the Vetter saddlebags and trunk on it. Not a Goldwing like Penny wanted, but a great touring bike just the same.

I rode that bike until 1982 when the Honda store owner offered me a trade-in price on a new Honda Aspencade I could not refuse. Oddly enough Penny's new helmet, leather jacket and pants that she had ordered were exactly the same colour as the bike. And there was a matching jacket for me in the right size as well. Now how did that happen?
