I have played with Cycle Sound (in fact I have two sitting on my shelves) but not in quite a while. Bluetooth helmet sound systems have gotten so good, I don't see any reason for it any more. All you really do is blast the music at the cars around you. I use a Cardo Packtalk.

Gorgeous bike, and I like the Ironman colors. I have restored a few Windjammers, so if you have any questions let me know. Craig has pretty much retired since his accident, and has mostly shut down his store. However, last I checked (2023?), his wife Carol was still monitoring their email and...

Those look like they are in good shape. Unfortunately, I am on the wrong coast.

Very nicely done!

Those side panels pop up on eBay every now and again. Not terrible to find. I've cut down a few of those windshields. It is not hard, but you have to be careful. First, I cover both sides of the cut area with blue masking tape. I eyeball the height I want. I want it high enough to protect...

Wow! That is a treasure. How did you get that?

Sadly, Vetter gear has fallen out of style. On some forum somewhere, someone posted "Will Windjammers every be cool again?" Today they just end up in dumpsters. That is where I have scavenged a few. I don't think that they ever stopped being cool. Thanks for keeping the site going. I find...

The challenge with saddle bag brackets is that they were never marked for what bike they fit. That was only a label on the outside of the box. Once they were out of the box, you can't tell. The best thing to do is to search eBay for as set the came off of the bike you have, or one that uses...

I get that, and I am a technology wonk.

That seems a little overkill, and will likely be expensive. Craig has some information on his site about building customer brackets. Also, I have seen people do some great things modifying brackets from older bikes to fit newer bikes. No matter what solution you find, please share the...

Yes, if you have the right bracket the fairing will fit. All the Windjammers, from the early one that were simple fairings, to the late ones with the integral turn signals, were all the same basic layout and shape...

Maybe this one? I don't know Yamaha, but if the downtubes are the same, I would think it is a good possibility. https://www.ebay.com/itm/226575685876

What Larry said... Sadly, Vetter did not mark the mounting brackets with the bike they were designed to fit. That was only marked on the box they were originally packed in. Hopefully, you can find one that came off a bike that is the same, or similar enough. If you have some metal working...

Sounds like a great project, but it also sounds like you have a long road ahead. The GS series Suzukis are easy to work on, and Suzuki has one of the best legacy parts programs, so parts are usually easy to get. Is '81 still carburetor, or had they gone to fuel injection by then? If you need...

Do you have the instructions that go along with the bracket and the harness? If so, there are no tricks beyond that. Also, your fairing may or may not have the optional horn kit. If you don't have the instructions, let me know and I can send them to you. I have two Suzukis with Windjammers...

Thank you. That's better than most of the stuff that I have found. It is more similar to the stuff that was on my Wixom fairing.

Really? I've searched and never found anything close. I've seen some stuff that is vaguely close at some marine supply stores, but nothing to my satisfaction. I would be very interested to hear what you have found. I would love to know where Craig got his. I assume it was an off the shelf...

I bought new edging from Vetter a few months ago. I know their web store is no longer active, but I have emailed directly and Carol was able to sell me edging and other parts. When I last heard from her they still had lots of edging on the shelf.

I think you can still get original trim from Vetter. Their web store is no longer active, but I have emailed Carol directly and she has sold me edge trim and other parts.

Those are not air vents. If you have the horn kit, those are openings for the sound of the horn to escape. If water does come in, there are drain holes at the bottom of the fairing. On bikes that do not have the horns, the hole in the fairing under those 'vents' are closed over with tape...
