    Windjammer mounted.

    Well, Skullman came through for me (and so did Chuck Hahn...now I have two harnesses ) and I finally got the fairing mounted today. Yeah, it looks huge compared to having ridden it with a naked front for a while, and there defiinitely is a slight noticeable difference in the acceleration, but man it sure feels good not to have the wind blast. I'm diggin' it. I know...pics will come.

      Rode into to work today. Nice. Gonna be a scorcher though. I just noticed this morning that the windshield is not as tall as the one I had before on my other 1000G. On the old one I looked through the windshield. On this one, I'm just looking over it. I wasn't aware there were different height options with these things. Just a tad helmet buffeting going on. I may have to get a taller one. Or....cut this one down some. Hate to do that though.

        New windshields are available. You can probably go to eBay, but a very reliable source is Vetter.

        Check out the windshield ordering page on their site.

          I believe JCWhitney sells replacement windshields for the Windjammer, too.

            Yeah, I was aware of the options. I was hoping not to have to do that though.

                      Well, I had lowers for the one on my first 1000G, and only used them once when it was really cold. So, I kinda doubt I'd use them. Do you have the radio housing? I've pm'd TCK to see if he had one since he's just down the road. If he doesn't, and you do, maybe we can work something out.

                            I have an extra Cyclesound housing as well. It does NOT have a radio in it, or any accessories - just the shell. Four inch speakers with round grills will work just fine in it, and on my 1100G I used a marine style flexible rubber-coated antenna purchased from Radio Shack. It is not too difficult to make a modern stereo work in the housing - you may have to fabricate a few brackets to hold it steady inside, but not a terribly difficult project.

                            If anybody is interested in the housing feel free to PM me. I believe I also have a set of original instructions somewhere too, so I can copy those in order to provide "hints" on how to make it all work. Actually, now that I think about it I believe you can view and download the OEM manuals from Craig Vetter's website - www.craigvetter.com

                              That does look cool. Was there much mucking about to install it?
