I don't think that you will need to make too many modifications to the bike, other than removing the headlight nacelle. Get a factory mounting bracket for any bike and use that as a starting point. Modify the bracket to fit the bike. Did you see Craig's page on making custom brackets for...

The WJ4 and the SS are nearly identical. I've looked at both and have never been able to find the difference if there is one. What bike are you planning on mounting it on? Ken

I think that is the same LED headlight I have, too.

Wow, I've never come across one in the original box. I have two or three CycleSounds. I haven't had one on a bike in many years. Since I switched to helmet speakers they seemed unnecessary. Ken

That is cool. I have never seen one like that. It certainly captures the vibe of the late 60s early 70s. Ken

No, no, no. Craig is still around. He has had a rough couple of years, but the last I have heard he is still around. I believe he is working on his memoirs. Ken

The springs in those locking mechanisms go bad after a while. Craig sells replacements. His on-line store was down for a while. I'm not sure if he is taking new orders yet. https://www.craigvetter.com/pages/Online_Store/Replacement_Parts/Details.html#anchor

That look terrific. Nice Job. I have a 1978 Suzuki GS550 (not the L version). I was never able to find correct saddlebag brackets for mine, but rather had to adapt a set from a later model. Are your bracket made for your bike, or did you need to modify them? Ken

It looks like you have a very complete set. I have two Suzuki's, a 1978 GS750 and a 1978 GS550. I think that the mounting bracket for the GS750 and GS850 are the same, but can't say for sure. I know that the lowers are different. Happy to be of any help that I can. Ken

If I had to guess, this is a homemade adapter for a garage door opener.

I would be careful about those snap vents. It is not easy to get the holes cut correctly and you don't want to bugger a good windscreen. I have two Windjammers, one with vents, one without. I don't notice any functional difference between the two. Good luck, Ken

What year is your GS650GL? Ken

Craig would tell you himself that the mounting brackets themselves had no markings on them to indicate which bike they fit. After he sold the company, the new owners (Bell?) did put some labels on them, but they clearly stated the model. I have one that is marked CB750. The best way to know...

Kynan, are you talking about a new patch, or more of the ones that are shown at the top of this page? You were kind enough to send me one of those already. Ken

Yes, it was a long drive, but I think it worked out well for both of us...and it saved a good Windjammer from the dumpster. It needs some restoration work, and I have no idea what I am going to put it on, but I always seem to find a use for them. VFR Man, thanks for everything, it was great...

Sorry I haven't been in touch. I'm interested, but I am having a hard time clearing my schedule to make a run up there. The earliest I could make it is the first week of August. If you can't sit on it until then, I understand. Feel free to PM me. Ken

I'm in southern Connecticut. Approximately where in Massachusetts are you? Ken

I haven't worked on a Vindicator, but I have had many Windjammers. Those cracks are a pain, and difficult to repair durably. Depending on where on fairing and how much the spot shows, I have had some success with plastic epoxies. Craig also sells a "Hotcha Repair Kit" which works okay. I've...

It's looking sharp!

There is a lot more information available for Windjammers than Liberators, just because of the numbers sold. Have you checked Craig's site? http://craigvetter.com/ I do know that windshields are still available...
