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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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
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
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.

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.
