which fairing? decisions, decisions...

[sam78gs750]

So I'm looking for a quarter fairing for my '78 GS750EC... Not too hot on the look of them... I like the look of a "naked" bike with minimal bodywork (side covers and that's about it...), but I could use something small to block the wind a bit. did some searches on here and got some good suggestions, but not enough pics... I checked out the EMGO "Viper" and it looks nice from the side and 3/4 view, but head on, I'm not a huge fan... found these http://www.classic-motorcycle-fiberglass.com/fairings/Stealth bikini fairing short screen.htm

http://www.classic-motorcycle-fiberglass.com/fairings/Stealth bikini fairing long screen.htm

and these
http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/vintage/vintagefairingsquarter.htm

but it's kind of hard to imagine what they would look like on my bike, and it would be expensive and time consuming to buy them all and try them out
so what I'm asking here is for some of you guys that have quarter fairings on models similar to mine to show off your bikes... post some pics from a couple of different angles and let me know what fairing you've got... It would help me out a lot to get some ideas...

I wonder what this one would look like on the bike...

that's one of the ones I was checking out.... I'm kind of leaning towards that one actually, so I was hoping someone on here had this on their bike so I could see what it would look like... ray:

This is my '78 with an EMGO 1/4 fairing. I'll provide more pictures if you think it is a fairing you want to consider.....

Maier GPz style fairing is a reasonable option.

I'm leaning towards the one in the attached pic... but at $350 and shipped from Australia, i don't know. Anybody know of any similar looking fairings that won't put that big of a dent in the wallet?

Doesnt Airtech make one just like that?

www.airtech-streamlining.com under their vintage fairings section...More faring choices than you can shake a stick at!!

that's my problem... too many choices. I'm having a hard time picturing what they would look like on my bike, and my wallet's not fat enough to just buy and experiment.

Im sure you've checked Ebay, haven't ya? Seen some cheap cool looking universal fairings there. Prolly not your best quality but cheap is cheap.
I've actually thought about one for my 850.

That's the Emgo one posted above.

I thought about this one before I found the GIVI for my 750:

You like the look of "naked" better than a 1/4 fairing?

How about just a small windshield?

Did you see the one that BassCliff has on his bike?
I think he said it's by National Cycle, and it's easily removed in about a minute or two if you want to go really "naked".
