Many fairings like Vetter, Pacifico, Rifle and others are made from ABS plastic. For crack/damage repairs or mods maybe people attempt epoxy, or fiberglass, which many times does not work so well. Since these fairings are made of ABS...

Here is the Pacifico Shadow fairing I have modified to mount onto my Kawasaki Vulcan VN1600 to create a full dresser "Road Glide" style bike. I suppose I could call it a Kawa Glide. I replaced the big gumpy 4" turn signals with LED...

The Pacifico Shadow is a really well made fairing equal in quality and design to the classic Vetter fairing. Just a different interpretation of what Craig established as the deisgn and build goal. Like the Vetter fairing, the Pacifico...

Back in 2020 i built a full dresser VN900 Kawasaki for my friend. It turned out so well I'm nuilding the same fairing on my VN1600 Vulcan

I have two of them. One perfect neatly unused. The other is heavily modified to fit my VN1600 Vulcan full dresser

Kynan, I have a pair which are in excellent condition. Classic Vetter Hippo Hands. Perfect condition. Bought with my '75 R90/6, but never used them; wife didn't want to ride in cold weather. $95 or best offer.

Well when I look at the front mount, it appears solid with the paint mark on it from when it was installed (I did not install it). But it seems to me that there is a lot of thread behind the nut, so I'm questioning why more of the...

One other comment about bike side hardware. Don't like that the front and turnbucket mounts hang off the bracket end. Wouldn't take much stress to bend.

From my limited structure knowledge, thread engagement length show be at least 1 1/2 times bolt diameter. The heim bolt could never unscrew when mounted, but if the lock nut was loose threads could bang around destroying threads. I...

Yes, the heim joint came out, ruining the tube it threads into. So I'm having both heim joints replaced, and both tubes on the sidecar mounts replaced- with a higher grade steel. What I am surmising (and I'm definitely not a machinist...
