Mine was Fabricated from 2 mounts. The upper mount is from a Suzuki or Yamaha I'm not sure which. The lowers or down tube portion is from a 78 CB750.

These are the 3 main pieces of the mount.

We used the oil cooler mounting point to fix the upper mount to the bike.

The parts loosely on the bike.

Cutouts to allow forks to go lock to lock.

Clearance for the bottom of the oil cooler.

Finished and mounted.

I hope this helps someone who may want to install a Vetter fairing on their CB1100.

I hope carguy1959 shows his mounting system.

I like he way the mount allows you to keep the oil cooler in the factory spot. I modified a one piece mount and had to move the cooler to the out side of the bracket

i have a windjammer SS with lowers that i am about to install - the mount it came with was a cb550 mount but no way to make it fit - after looking around i have a GS1100 mount coming that i think measure out well and should do the job - after living with it for a while - does the weight on the front end effect the bike very much?

It effects the quickness of the steering a very slight amount. The bonus for me is that it reduces the jarring in the handlebars from bumps. Another bonus is that I have gained a little in mileage.
I to have some lowers for winter use.
I'll put some pics up with the windjammer lll fairing and lowers.
I like the looks without the Vetter graphics.

Thanks - that is what i was hoping - last two bikes had full factory bodywork and I have noticed that the bar mounted full size screen moves the bars around - enough to notice - And the Vetter gives me good memories and apparently will do what i want - thanks for the help
