Five years ago I was happy paying $1750 with a non running 1100. Sold the bike. That paid for the day trip, trailer rental, and $200 of hardware needed to mount on my Interstate. Having the bike specific mounting plates also saved me a few hundred dollars to a fab shop. Been watching for TP’s...

Great looking ‘78. That blue was my original. Full Vetter tour set with a huge Califia trunk.

Not doing the long distance Texas rides anymore. Endless hours on interstate with cross winds. Could dial in a neutral ride. Roads around Philly suburbs are short and not straight. So conditions change every 1/4 mile. It only takes a single grab sometimes two to adjust. I wouldn’t ride without.

Keep up the effort. Hard enough to be a life long Vetter owner over the years. The Terraplane had just over 900 on the road in its day. I’ve yet to see another one in person. M/C mfg got into the touring accessory market in the 80’s and killed the likes of Craig, Bates, Calafia. Good to see...

Howdy Dave Less than 1,000 units made in early ’80s. You’re missing the instruction decal. Great for when you forget how to turn at 70 mph! Won’t be any help with structure mounting on bike side. Vetter’s primary client was larger early ’80s touring bikes. Mine current TP came on a naked ’82...

Here’s mine ‘83 Interstate. TP is #493. 7 years with me on two wheels and now another 5 with the car. Identical to rig I had new in ‘82 down in Texas.

Welcome to the site from Pennsylvania. I had started a log of serial numbers last year. Died out after I accounted for only a handful of s/n. Compiled a spreadsheet of all pictures I could find online. What’s your number? How much do you know about the design? Ridden a hack before? Couple...

Can’t post pics again. Thought I figured that out. Tolomatic Airheart 175H caliper disc brake. I rebuilt with original orings. Small Displacement Master Cylinder 3115 series is not available I used MCP 18875 instead. Parts pages and info for all is still online

I only kept the rebuilt system functioning for a couple of weeks. Cramped around floor board and bike brake. Biggest issue was brake would ride around disc when applied. Raising the car and pushing bike to left. Anyone have this problem?

When I acquired the TP actually poured dust out of cylinder and caliper.

Evening, Wheelwright Look at the threads below. Google Terraplane windscreen. Even seen some ideas online to form your own design out of plexi. Or these guys. https://bikescreen.com/products/fairing-manufacturer-vetter-terraplane?srsltid=AfmBOooGj9nLwDjKA-UlkUzqOCNmfw3IGv5noiUPNc53XymD1ojsQC-5

Figured out how to send pics. I might be dangerous now. Wire loom wrap is too soft but good concept for easy grip.

I think I figured this out. At least once. I had been attaching them to the text.

Yeah. I get a gold star!! Rick 1 Pics 0

Let’s give this a try. Changed a setting on my phone. There’s an upper rail right behind that edge the straps wrap around. Loops back to itself with a rivet.

Maybe came with car? Mine has same one or at least same style.

Can’t seem to post pics

Let me see where I put the clip. I’ve dog proofed the interior. My lid doesn’t really need secured. Rubber seal is sticky and wind holds it down at speed.

Can I get help with posting pictures? Seem to be attaching okay but then they don’t go with the post or I get error message.
