Advice on fairings

Anybody have information on decent fairings for an xj700 or any xjs for that matter?

 

Someone here will tell you a great story about a decent fairing for little cost - it jus wan't be me.

I have a Windjammer that came with my XJ650 Maxim.
It has a crack on one of the lower bouts, I have never put it on . . . This time of year I think about how nice a windbreak would be.. . . Still haven't put it on.

 

Yea, cooling off here would still like to get some more riding in though

 

Windjammers are great, don't think I've seen one on an xj700, would probably have to make or modify a mount to get one to fit but they are seriously effective fairings.

 

Vetter made mounting brackets to fit their fairings to nearly everything. I know that they have a bracket that fits the XJ750, and I know that the non-X Xj700 shares its frame with the XJ750. There are still several small hordes of NOS Vetter fairing parts; you just have to go digging to find them. Occasionaly they show up on Ebay.

 

I'll start looking. A little chilly riding home from work tonight! Thanks guys

 

Brackets are no longer available for windjammer or or other Vetter products, at least not to be ordered , most people are building there own.
You can check that out and perhaps get a plan( blueprint) from the Vetter owners group online... Or even eBay
I love my Windjammer ( home made bracket)

Can you post a pic of it pls?

 

You don't want an ugly bracket like mine, but I will likely build a new one by next year, right now I'm not much help to you....
If you go to the Vetter owners group, someone there may have a bracket or Windjammer for you , there are some hoarders and someone in your area may have something for you, just make a post there and see what comes up

 

I have the Vetter mount with Christmas tree plate for the 82 750 maxim that is not in use. PM me if you want it.

Windjammer on fleabay for not stupid money. This and the mount in my garage should do ya fine!

Ask if it comes with the wiring harness adapter before you buy!
Not sure how hard it is to find the plug in adapters.

 

I'll check it out. Thanks!

 

Be prepared for a pretty serious job of sorting out the rat's nest of wiring in the head light. The stock light and front turn indicators have to be removed to install the Vetter.

 

I had to remove the entire head light bucket from my Suzuki GS850 and the Maxim that the fairing was original mounted on(BY PO) had the bucket removed as well. Bringing that Maxim back to stock was actually quite interesting.

Hopefully I'm wrong as that would be a much simpler job as you describe it. I also did not have the wiring harness adapter which is why I suggested ensuring it's availability.

 

Maybe more then I want to get into right now! I have some other things to work on first!

 

I t

i think with the smaller Vetter Quiksilver fairing they usually removed the headlight bucket , but back in the day full size Windjammers always had the bucket in place, , I should say at least any that I have seen.

Empty your inbox, please; I want to PM you about this bracket.

 

I found these, saw one for sale on eBay and thought they looked pretty cool.
