Thanks for such a great invention Fred!
Great to hear this and best wishes on the retro fit. I rode behind windjammers for 40 years. I love them, trunk, bags, lowers, gadgets attached etc etc. I finally got a "modern" bike but I really really miss my beautiful jammer and all...

Definitely will be expensive, and Seems like overkill, until you watch guys 3d scan, feed the data into the computer, and produce exactly what they need that fits precisely in no time.
It is hard to believe that we are approaching ten years since Fred's passing from glioblastoma cancer. It is ironic and very sad that he, with such a brilliant mind, would succumb to this. Fred was a great friend and mentor whom I...
That seems a little overkill, and will likely be expensive. Craig has some information on his site about building customer brackets. Also, I have seen people do some great things modifying brackets from older bikes to fit newer bikes...
Hi Guys,
I just picked up a gorgeous Windjammer IV and would like to mount it on a 2009 Triumph Street Triple 675. Spoke to Mr. Vetter, who confirmed that the engine and radiator mounts would be the anchor points for custom fabbed...

Yes, if you have the right bracket the fairing will fit. All the Windjammers, from the early one that were simple fairings, to the late ones with the integral turn signals, were all the same basic layout and shape...
Yes thank you. I bought a NOS kit and I'm waiting for it to come in before I commit to a faring. I saw some nice fairings that were used on Honda's , but I wondered if those would fit on a Yamaha XS850? The answer may be yes.
I did buy an NOS my mounting kit for the XS850G Special I have. I was doing research and was tettering as to the universal fit. Thank you for confirming that. Now my issue is the lower farings. I'm looking a set of type 2, while the...
What Larry said... Sadly, Vetter did not mark the mounting brackets with the bike they were designed to fit. That was only marked on the box they were originally packed in. Hopefully, you can find one that came off a bike that is the...
