If Rob doesn't want that mounting bracket, I might be interested. I, too, am in the middle of refurbing a tail trunk that came without the H-shaped piece that secures it to the luggage rack. Ken

Let us know what part of the country you are in. As Kynan pointed out, Windjammers have been out of fashion for a while, so they are not in high demand. I am a bit of pathetic Windjammer collector/rescuer. Yours is a later model, I would guess made shortly before Craig sold the company...

I wish I could help you. I have one sitting in my spares, but I think shipping from the US would be prohibitively expensive. Ken

Very nice. Did you do the restoration, or was that done before you got it? Ken

I never noticed that I hadn't posted any. I just added a new thread to the Vetter Motorcycle Projects & Pictures section. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Here are just a few pictures from the restoration. You can see the notes I left myself on some of the ziplock bags. The last picture is one of my favorites. This is the kind of thing my wife often finds in the kitchen when she gets home, and she never complains. Once she came home to find...

Someone asked about pictures of my bike. I was surprised I hadn't posted very many at all. So, here is my 1978 Suzuki GS550. I bought it about 2009 and tore it down to every nut, bolt, and screw...except I didn't need to tear down the engine. I reconditioned every part myself, and sent the...

That is awesome. You never find them in that condition. If I had a use for it I would be all over it. Hope you guys can connect. If so, I want to see pictures of the finished bike. Ken

Yes. That is me. I've just spent the last 45 minutes reading your FB page. It looks like you had it rough right from the start. I wish you fast healing, and hope you get a second shot at your trip. Ken

Can you tell us the circumstances of the accident? Also, I just sent a request to join your FB group. Ken

I think a Windjammer would look and function great on one of the newer Enfields. Just have to fabricate the bracket.

I've been thinking about doing something similar to mine. The later versions actually had a slit there. How hard was it to sew through the material? Ken

The bikes look great. I look forward to hearing about your trip. Ken

It does make it rather heavy, and most of the liner is musty and in poor condition, so I am going to remove it when I restore the trunk. It is interesting though. I may put in a lighter and simpler replacement.

I just picked up a Vetter tail trunk that I will restore and put on one of my Suzukis. I've never had a tail trunk before and this one came with a thoroughly installed furry liner. It is worn, but very well fitted and installed. It also has some foam padding under the fabric. Is this...

I got mine on Amazon. I have two bikes with the same headlight and could not be happier. I also have both equipped with headlight modulators, and these work well with LED capable modulators. Link to LED Headlight - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019I0UBLU/ Link to Headlight Modulator -...

I think a WJ would look awesome on an Interceptor. It is the bike that today looks most like the "standards" of the '70s.

Tom, That is just awful to hear, especially after doing such a beautiful job putting your bike together. Keep your chin up and heal quickly. Ken

Not bad for 'proof of concept.' Ken

I don't weld, so for me it would be easier to modify the fairing. How much are we talking? Just a few millimeters or much more? On both of my bikes, the fairing fits just under the front of the tank, so there is no interference. I will try to remember to take pictures when I get home. Where...
