Try Ebay for some examples and prices. Also check out Craig Vetter's site at https://www.craigvetter.com. Also check out https://www.denniskirk.com . Lots of good examples there.
I personally love my Vetter Windjammer IV.

I'm using a Vetter Sting on my 80 GS1100E it is perfect they were made in 1984 by the company that bought Vetters name from Bell. I do not have a picture of it on the bike. The fairing was made for the square headlight. I got it off of ebay. I waited 6 months for it to show up and one did I got it for $15. check out http://www.xz550.com/art.html there is a sheet with installation instructions that has a drawing

There's a Maier fairing made for the sqaure headlights.
Omar has a couple of the most beautiful quarter fairings out there, but they're for round (but he has them for bigass 8" headlights). I use a Wes Cooley rep and it works great, but it's round.
Solosuzuki (Claude), in Montreal, made a very cool quarter fairing for his '82 E by paring down a clunky frame-mount GS1150ES fairing. I wonder if you could try the same approach with a bigger touring fairing?"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist."

Anyone using a rifle sport fairing? It's a nice looking unit, but how does it work?"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" -Yogi Berra

Are the 8" headlight fairings the Wes Cooley type?
I've seen them on eBay, but have never been successful in bidding for one (yet!!)

Thanks, just had a look there, thats some sound effects! 8O 8O
He's got some beautiful stuff on there.
But he doesn't do what I'm looking for. I want the Wes Cooley fairing, but for the large Suzuki "searchlight" headlamp

I have an aftermarket Wes Cooley and had to cut down the headlight well to fit the 8? headlight. It worked fine. I got my fairing from a salvage yard ? don?t know who made it or when. www.airtech-streamlining.com has a Wes Cooley fairing, but I don?t know if the well is deep enough to cut it down for an 8? ? it probably is, though."When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint.
