    A call for Vetter serial numbers

    3" metal ring, plastic grill.

    Hello from Kansas!

    For the 'bigger, bulkier' stuff a local pick up (ie Craigslist) is usually more cost effective. Shipping can be a bear. For the most part, Vetter stuff from 'any' bike will fit on any other bike, only the mounting brackets are different for each bike. IMHO, if the Hondaline stuff is in good...

    My Vetter Build 6 years in the making.

    Well nuts. I don't remember the size, but IIRC was SAE, not metric. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=well+nuts&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=35059629204&hvpos=1t2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10327013157747529035&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_5l9vhpkqnt_e

    Super Fun!

    Not much of a "Risk Taker" myself, but my second son is another story. After being screwed over by his business partner in their joint venture, he was left penniless and in June 2013, I had to wire him the funds to make his return trip to Florida. With help from friends and family, he started...

    VOG Premier Patch Awards!

    Nice. Never seen the one on top, but the one on the bottom looks a lot like the one I've had for about 35 years now. IIRC it came with a fairing (or bags or trunk?) I bought back then.

    Z650 Vetter Fairing

    Acording to Craig's site, the Kawasaki by Vetter fairing is basically a Windjammer SS without the leading-edge lights (the built in turn signals.)

    Calling All Vetter Keys

    Thanks Kynan. As I suspected, I am now convinced that the key I manually cut on a YM57 key blank, is actually a VF-104. When I made the key (luggage with 4 locks), I found the YM57 blank would go in and I took apart one of the locks to manually cut it. IIRC there were 6 positions for wafers but...

    Contest: Snap Vent

    Not important. I'm over it. I didn't have the answer he was looking for. "

    Contest: Snap Vent

    Nope and I still disagree. However not my contest.

    Contest: Snap Vent

    I have learned that you don't have to know the answer as long as you know where or how to find it.;)

    Looks like quality control was not the best.

    I had to look, but yes it is.

    Contest: Snap Vent

    I know the answer, but will let it go for a while to give someone else a chance. (Starting a contest just before the superbowl! )

    Calling All Vetter Keys

    That is the dilemma. Without more information, that is a total unknown. Which codes of the series were used? I have to disagree with Craig's FAQ though. I had not noticed before but the key code "may" be on the face of the lock (please forgive my lack of photography skills.) I found 4 locks...

    Calling All Vetter Keys

    I didn't either until I started looking up the codes. That's only 2 of the code series and already up to 1033 possible codes. That would be useful, except it is way too easy to move a locking fairing cover from one to the other. Then throw in the DIY store/locksmith replacement locks and we...

    Calling all Terraplane Owners

    With those kinda prices, I'd have to come up with some kind of cheaper alternative. Wonder if I could make this work?

    A call for Vetter serial numbers

    Made me laugh out loud! Like "LIKE", value is also a relative term. I do not have any WJ1's or WJ2's and am not actively seeking ANY more fairings. In the last 7 years I've acquired 12 WJ's (nothing special, 3 thru 5, mostly SS's and 4's) spending less than $75 total (many were given to me) and...

    Headlight help

    Not a headlight expert, but as I understand it, automotive lenses point low beam off to the right, motorcycle lenses do not. That said, right wrong or indifferent I have read of people using automotive headlights on motorcycles, but I have to advise not to. I'm sure they are different for a...
