New to the Vetter Forum but not to the very best Faring ever devised. I am now riding behind my third Vetter; this is my Windjammer III (ser # 09-99025). It was originally silver without any type of Vetter stripping. It is now black and mounted on my pride and joy and daily rider, my 1979 Yamaha...
