Yes, you can leave the headlight bucket in place, but if your airhead is like mine (1974 R90/6), I'm not sure how you would access the wiring to connect the fairing. On my Japanese bikes there is a pretty big hole in the bottom of the headlight bucket, but on my BMW it is sealed pretty tight.

Okay, I did a little hunting. The Pantara is kinda cool. It looks a bit like a Windjammer knockoff (as many of them were). It is British made. I could not find a source for replacement screens, however, you might want to contact this guy. He provide replacements for Wixom, Lufmeister, and...

Sorry, I am not familiar with the Pantara fairing. Are you sure it is a Vetter product? A picture would certainly be helpful. Ken

That is awesome. Getting the right bracket can be very frustrating, the basic mount for the bag is the same, but how it connects to the bike is all different. I've modified brackets in the past to get them to fit, but a made-for-your-bike solution is always better...and easier. Not sure why...

The lower 'half pipes' should marry up with the down tubes. They are then held in place with hose clamps. Double-check your wiring so nothing binds when turn the handlebars lock to lock.

I found it. This it the headlight that I use in both of my Windjammers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019I0UBLU

These are the instructions that I have. Also, my 1978 GS750 is probably very similar to your bike. I you run into a problem I will try and help. I am recovering from surgery right now, but if I need to sneak out to the garage to take a picture I probably do that. Take your time and be tidy...

If it doesn't come with installation instructions, I can send you some.

Rusty, I see that the bracket on eBay was sold. Was that you that grabbed it up? Ken

Craig did offer some guidance on fabricating your own mounting brackets. Check out the link below. Craig's Guide to Custom Brackets

There is one on eBay in the USA right now that looks like it might be right for you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/191470885807?

The trick with mounting brackets is that, for the most part, they have no markings on them. So, you can't look it up and say, "I ride this model bike, so I need a number VTR-123456 bracket." Even Craig Vetter himself will tell you it was one of his biggest mistakes. The best thing to do is to...

You can still find lot of original instructions on Craig website. I took a quick look at the Terraplane mounting instructions. It is not a great copy, but they may be helpful. https://www.craigvetter.com/pages/Vetter_Fairings/All_Vetter_instructions.html Best of luck and share pictures, Ken

Looks like a great rig. I wish it were in my current budget, but I just picked up a 1974 BMW R90/6 that I am bringing back to life. Good luck with it.

Depending on how it is broken, it may still be usable. If a top chunk is broken off it can be cut down. I have cut down quite a few of them. I find the factory ones to be too tall, so I typically shorten them by about 3-4 inches.

Did you find your windshield? There are some aftermarket ones made still, but good used ones pop up on eBay all the time. All variations of Windjammer used the same windshield, just be sure to use the clips instead of the screws in the top holes.

Hmmm...? Somebody on here had one. For some reason, I thought it was you. Have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving.

Alan, you had a Mystery Ship, didn't you? Do you still, and what number is it?

Did anyone see the recent article on the Mystery Ship in the recent issue of Motorcycle Classics? I will post a link to the article below. Motorcycle Classics is really the only Motorcycle Magazine that I still subscribe to. It is extremely well produced on high quality glossy paper. The...

That is really nice and complete...too nice to part out. Where are you located? Also, do you have a mounting bracket, and for which bike? I don't need it (in fact, I have a spare), I just thought it would be good information for someone that might want it. Ken
