        Nice-looking bike.

        Looks like a Vetter fairing and Bates saddlebags?

                    Congratulations on the bike. Looks really nice. I have a set of bags very similar to yours and wondered what they would look like on my 850L. I think they came off a Harley though. Vetter is no longer in business, they are retired now, however they still have a small business selling parts. I ordered a few parts from them and a new windshield. Due to insurance problems they can no longer sell windshields, however they have a source for them in Illinois, l think. The newer vents do not turn yellow like the older ones did. Nice looking ride. Welcome to the Forum.
