Last month I went on an epic trip, at least for me, that has long been on my bucket list. The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. To do it, I wanted to have some extra, lockable storage on the bike... what to do? Simple, switch out the soft saddlebags for the Vetter bags and add the trunk. It's...

When I bought my '81 GL1100 in 2010 it looked (for the most part) like this: I say "for the most part" because it did not come with the saddlebags... those were the first thing I bought and put on soon after buying the bike. In addition to the bags, I also gave the bike a new paint job and...

So I saw this thing some time ago and remembered that the wind wings existed... These that are in the picture are not specifically designed for a Vetter fairing, but these are: Someone dangled the carrot in front of my face for too long last night and I bit. I have never seen any still in...

I have been looking for one of these for 5 years and it's the first one I have seen... just more than I am willing to pay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vetter-Windjammer-Fairing-Fair-Warning-Radar-Detector-1980-Right-storage-lid-key-/301877505583?hash=item46494d2e2f:g:T7AAAOSwx-9Wv4N7&vxp=mtr

It is the second week of December and I got the bike packed and loaded for a trip to Florida. Camping along the way and just going for a ride. Throttle therapy... it does the body good! My brother is retiring from the Navy after 30 years, so I have to go kick his ass out of the Navy seeing as...

Those of us who get hosed at our Birthday because it is so close to Christmas must stick together! Happy birthday!

In July, I experienced a minor set-back with my 1100. The bolt that secures the rotating member or the charging system to the internal engine shaft, back out and the rotor backed off of the shaft and cracked the rear case of the motor. I had just gotten off from work, went to the bike, fired...

Heck of a deal if you are looking... http://allentown.craigslist.org/mpo/5222687606.html

Ebay said for the right amount of money, this could be yours... so now it is mine. Never saw anything about these before, and there isn't much on the web about them, so this should be interesting. Oh yeah, it reads "BY Vetter" under Ghost.

29 years ago this weekend, my wife saw something in me and decided to say "I do" when the preacher asked her if she would. So we are taking some time for ourselves and running away for the weekened. The bike is loaded on the trailer,our bags are packed, and it is just the two of us.

In the past month and a half I have taken two bikes that weren't running, replaced the head gaskets on one, split the rear case off of both (requires engine to be out of the frame), replaced the stator on the other and then stuffed both the motors and got the bikes running again. All that while...

I haven't been riding since August. A blown head gasket and it was too dang cold to get out in the garage over the winter so I wasn't able to anything! The past month, the weather has finally caught up to the calendar so between two jobs, a week off from both to go to St. John's, Newfoundland...

I didn't want to hi-jack Michael's thread (http://www.vetterowners.com/threads/all-kleer-motorcycle-windshield-cleaner.743/ ) as that has been known to happen a lot around here :D, so what do you use to clean your windscreen? I use just plain old Lemon Pledge. Cleans and polishes... oh and...

Love it!

Am I blind or has this feature been disabled? I know it once was here but now I can’t seem, to find it anywhere… :confused:

This thread was supposed to be about another epic trip on the Wing with my Vetter leading the way, but sadly, Tuesday when I got a block away from my house, I saw a trail of steam coming from the right side tail pipe... ahhhh nuts! I blew a head gasket. I knew that me tickling that rev limiter...

Did any of you on the left coast feel the Earth Move Under Your Feet?

While I was in North Carolina last month, my trusty Razr M quit working and took with it about 100 pictures from that trip. I learned a lesson that I should have either been backing up my pictures or storing them on the SD card. Well, last night I picked up a Galaxy S5... Oh My!!!!! What a...

I jump over to Craig's site ever now and then to see what new stuff he puts up and I was shocked to see this... My Streamliner was stolen Saturday night July 19 between 10 pm and 9 AM Sunday morning July 20, 2014. http://craigvetter.com/ Rat bastards!!! Why do people do this kind of...

I’m back from a wonderful week where I put just under 2,500 miles on my bike. I spent a lot of time riding through Georgia, North/South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. If you ride on two wheels, you need to put that area of the map on your bucket list of places to ride. I do not think there...
