Kevins Vetter Fairing Mount

[husky385_imp]

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.

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

I hope carguy1959 shows his mounting system.

Oops Thanks to Cormanus, The Ferret or Guth which ever one of you moved this thread.

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

When you get it mounted show us some pictures please.

Wow, that is awesome! First time I have seen this....

 

[Peperapido_imp]

Very nice fairing.

 

[husky385_imp]

Thank you PowerDubs and Peperapido.:biker:

one last question - did you leave the headlight bucket in place and just cover it over - or did you have to remove the entire front assembly and then rain protect the wiring harness'?

thanks

I completely dismantled the fairing and completely rebuilt it.
It was white when I got it.



I didn't do anything to waterproof the wiring. It pretty much is water proof. I drench it with the hose when I wash it haven't had any trouble yet Everything was plug and play except for the accessory wring and I shrink wrapped it To get twelve volts to the fairing accessories I used the wires from the red or orange (I can't remember what color it was ) connector in the headlight bucket. I left the headlight out on the bike.

You can use something like this to cover the bucket if you want.

Since Photo bucket wants an arm and a leg to post photos on here. I'm going to try Imgur.

Not what I wanted.
One more try.
