s'more Drag Spec Catalog images depicting Vetter stuff (including a Terraplane sidecar nose I think): It looks like the 1979 or so Windjammer equipped Wing in the photo was the basis of the artwork in the '82 catalog I posted above.

Yes, the endging is gold instead of chrome, pinstripes are kinda silvery-gold. Vetter emblem on that Ebay auction fairing is def. chrome, like mine (blew the photo up and lightened it on my computer).

Interesting; here is another Nightstalker, currently for sale on Ebay. It has the same chrome Vetter emblem on the headlight surround as my bike does, and in the same exact spot. I have to wonder then if it is a stock rather than custom touch...

Watch it, bub.;)

Figured it is "topical" to revisit this thread... Attached is my 2014 holiday card, with my wife and I astride my Dad's old bikes. I made it a generic "holiday" / "season's greetings" card to apply in all cases, but *I* will have a VERY Merry Christmas this year, having found my Dad's long...

Not seeing any sissy bars; the catalogs seemed focused on full factory dressers, though there is the occasional Vetter item and even an aftermarket "dual / solo touring" seat/trunk/saddlebag arrangement that is kinda like the similar era Silverwings (i.e. with a sliding trunk). Did Drag. Spec...

Hmmm....think I saw I real nice one go on Ebay a month or so ago for about $60. I considered buying it, as mine has some minor scratches, but then decided there's nothing wrong with the bike having a slight "patina". By the way, there was an interesting story recently about the development of...

Recently bought a set of 1982 Drag Spec. catalogs on Ebay, including lots of Goldwing chrome trim and other accessories, even apparel. Actually, in these catalogs, I can account for every aftermarket item my Dad's added to his Goldwing (recently re-found after 24 years) and plenty that he...

Of COURSE its a gull wingo_O: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nagano-Platic-Model-1-8-Honda-Gull-Wing-GL1000-No-1006-2200-/351238126838?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item51c76c7cf6

Interesting. The Polk's tweeters are indeed quite obvious behind the mesh, which I am not sure I like. So mine are still for sale, haw haw! By the way, my dad had a '77 (I think it was) Hondamatic 750; I rode it a few times. I don't recall loving it. After he passed away in 1990, I listed...

I prefer #6, but I am biased because that is what my Dad had (and I now have) on his bike (Vetter WJ5 fairing and sound system purchased circa 1981). I am sure if his was any of the other styles, THAT would be my favorite. :)

Thanks, I would be curious to see the combo. I'm using J&M USK 9000s, which I saw recommended on this site and somewhere else. I can't say They are better or worse than the Polks, only that they are quite good. Plenty loud and no discernible distortion at the volumes I use.

I'm offering for sale a set of the polk speakers and integrated polk grills only, and with no screws. Im using the #6 style Vetter grills with a different set of speakers, which i bought recently under the apparently (based on your recent post) mistaken assumption that the polk speakers could...

Good to know, thanks! I still wonder how those tweeters would look under the "#6" style grills on my bike. The Polks are still for sale, as I rather like the sound of the ones I bought (apparently unnecessarily).

Thanks for the link to that thread, some good info there. The good news is I have a working key to the fairing pocket, so its just a matter of getting a copy made, either by a locksmith or at another box store (which I may try a couple more times first). Also I was able to get copies made at...

Hi, I have a single key for my right hand side hard case cover, tied having one made and was told it was most likely a Yale Y9, but two local big box stores did not have one such blank in stock. Anyone know what blanks typically work, or if there is even a "typical" one?

Well, now THIS is a travesty (in more ways than one)! Looks like a pretty nice example of the valve cover I need was used a a "footstop" of sorts...but they drilled two holes in the top of it.:eek: Otherwise I'd have had no hesitation to dismantle this work of "art", assuming I could get it for...

I remember seeing you talk about that in another thread, was trying to picture how that might look / if some type of gap would be visible. Too late for me, but could you post a pic?

It's decent....gets plenty loud enough to be heard while riding. PLL tuner works nicely enough. I have to use the AUX jack on the front to play music from my I-phone. It won't work via the USB jack with my phone or my wife's Samsung Galaxy note. Haven't tried playing MP3s off a flash card in...

Guy who sold me the bike E-mailed me last week to say he had the original speaker grilles, sent them to me gratis. Of course, I had to install them, even if it meant changing out the Polk DB401s on the bike when I got it. They were juuuust a bit too modern looking, though the truth is, it was...
