Here is my '85 Honda V65 Sabre, I mounted the Windjammer V (my homemade mount) on the bike in 1986, and added the Vetter bags, and trunk (also my own mounts, using Vetter parts)in 2009. I previous to this had a 1978 Suzuki GS1000 with a Windjammer III on it.

That looks great Kevin, nice job on the mounts. I like the custom badging too! Looks like the bike was born with the outfit on. What exhaust system is that?
 
Thanks. The exhaust is stock, except I made some small pipes to adapt Suzuki Hayabusa mufflers,I just wish I would have had the whole system ceramic coated silver!
 
I like the lowers! Were those originally extended that long or did you modify them?

That's how long they were when I got them. The only things I changed on them was adding material to the top to conform to the sharper contours of the WJ5(these were for a WJ3, or 4), and trim and form the inner rear sections to follow the lines of the lower gas tank.
 
I believe I have this bike in my possession now. It was found on the Wisconsin boarder. The previous owner had it sitting outside since 2018. It's looking a little rough.

That’s a perfect project bike, to get it back on the road again, were it belongs.
