    Liberator in Germany

    Found a Liberator here in Germany. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/harley-davidson-sovelhead-imperator-original-vetter-fairing/1574774046-306-21794 But that price - 1.500€ (about 1.800$) is a little bit toooooo much. Maybe the word "Harley" turns the old fairing into gold. Dieter

    LED Headlight option

    Hi all, I use a LED headlight since nearly two years. It is definately better than any H4 bulb. I've installed a complete headlight insert - what needs the headlight housing to be modified. Some photos you can find here: vetterowners.com/threads/windjammer-4-on-a-93-suzuki-gsx1100g.1224/page-2...

    Windjammer 4 on a '93 Suzuki GSX1100G

    New winter-project.... I will install a WJ V instead of the IV on my bike. Have just ordered some parts at Carol‘s online shop. Fairing will be painted all black with silver decals, the holes for lower mounting I want to close. Dieter

    Material of headlight housing

    I’ve now cut an opening into the headlight housing and made the first testruns. Seems like it is working...,. However - I need to make a better photo of the headlight installed in the bike. And - I believe a WJ 5 will look better. I already have one in stock.... Dieter

    Material of headlight housing

    Hi folks, I've recently purchased a 7" LED insert to replace the old headlight insert. However, there is a little bir more room necessary. Easiest would be to use a heat gun - if the housing is some kind of thermoplastic. Any ideas? Best regards Dieter

    Vibration Isolators on Side Racks
