You have one of the very first Windjammer IIs. While it is definitely a Windjammer II the clues that it is so early are: It has no ID decal on the side. It has edging without the chrome strip. It might have belonged to one of my employees. You found it in Illinois, right? It was made in...

Lets discuss Windjammer 9873. It would be helpful if you would post a pic of this fairing. Here is why: I am in the middle of writing this story. I had forgotten that there was a transition period from the Windjammer 1 to the Windjammer 2. This meant that both series of Windjammers were...

Probably is an R5. Gustaffson makes windshields. The mounts you show are home made. By the way, if you did indeed ever need mounts for a 1968 or so Yamaha YR2, I have a brand new set. The Series 1000 was my first design. As such, it is "more pure" reflecting the idealism of a designer right...

The last Vetter mounts were produced around 1982. If there was a 1982 version of your bike, you might be in luck. If so, EBAY is where you are likely to find them.

Looks like you dealt with this issue without me. By the way, I just completed the latest Vetter Fuel Challenge. It was 170 miles at Bonneville. The electric bike finally won! Craig

Your question: Did that decal on my profile pic ever come on a vetter or was it done later? My answer: I did not do stripes like that

Thank you. We are looking for the highest and lowest. Your 63-111041 is about 70,000 Windjammers lower that the highest known, which is 63-180,823 Your 36-247330 is 36-250,013 is about 3,000 lower. Sometimes, the original warrantee slip and/or/ sales receipt shows up in the pockets. That...

It is like we are witnessing a living Time Capsule in fairing design. The banner is my 1966 design. Here we are almost 50 years later. Now we have more of a "Open Source" thing happening. I don't have to do it all. How exciting. So much more to do.

I am stunned at this picture. Really striking. Where was it taken?

June 15, 1967 Four of the first Vetter fairings - Series 1000 Fairings - on Yamaha 350s. My brother, Bruce left… me reading map, Duane Anderson fussing with something. Jim Harding snapped the picture for me. I remember that early morning ground fog. The sun was just breaking thru behind us...

Surely a typo. But not mine. I should have caught I before I put his number up. I'll fix it. Thanks. I must tell you about Anoraks.

Thank you. Every bit increases our data base.

Thank you. Both these radio show groups were real gentlemen. I did not feel slighted in the least. By the way, I have decided to hold a Demonstration Challenge at Daytona: Kymco is loaning me one of there new 500cc scooters and our friends at Riding into History who put on the beautiful...

Interesting that you should ask. This has already been done with very satisfactory results. Take a look at how Frank Buckman did it As we speak, one of my Brit friends is preparing to do the same thing

On the radio talkin' Vetter Friday night Feb 7 at 7-8PM Cal time I will be on Hog Radio Saturday morning Feb 8 at 8AM Eastern (5AM Cal time) I will be talking with "Those Diner and Motorcycle Guys" Yeah... it is early but I'll be there Listen in if you can. We will be talking about things...

These are good questions, by the way. Somebody was paying attention. Craig

First understand the fire of 1977 was just a hiccup. While the copy-folk thought there was a place for them, there was not. I had the best design and the best dealers. While I owned the company, we had a very friendly and expanding relationship with the major motorcycle manufacturers. I was...

What is not obvious is the fact that they also copied the way we manufactured the Windjammer. Beginning in 1972, I began the lengthy and pioneering process of making fairings of something other than FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) Once I figured it out - as appeared in the Windjammer II...

We are planning a Demo Vetter Challenge Ride at Daytona, Wednesday March 12. It will be a short ride to lunch from the track and back. It will be a good time and place to see a real Vetter Streamliner on the road and get an idea of what is possible in the world of real aerodynamics. More on...

After I designed the Windjammer, about 20 companies began copying it... some with no changes... some with some changes. This was one made by a company called Pacifico.
