XS1100 USA Fairing

Would anyone be able to give me some info on this fairing I have located in the UK please, mountings and screen availability? Compatible with any Vetter parts? No point in me getting excited about it if its XS1100 specific.

That is a Pacifico fairing, so parts from a Vetter would only work if Pacifico stole the design from Craig when they made their fairing... The windscreens are therefore different but they are still avaialable from a vendor:

That one is for the later Silverbird model that they made specifically for Yamaha (you can tell the difference between the two by the direction of the marker lights at teh back of the fairing) but I think the windscreens are the same. It may require some more research to make sure.

Thanks for that very usful information, as usual nothing is ever easy! Just got a rough quote from that website and it will be about $210 for the screen and to get it shipped here and possibly stung for some import duties.
Think I will continue looking for something more complete and less rare to allow for replacements parts if needed.
Annoying thing is that some years back my job at the time took me to the US quite a few times and we always had large containers shipped back when the jobs finished which could quite easily have "hidden" a fairing complete!
