Wess cooley frond fender brackets pictures please.

[Coolshaft]

I am trying to work out where the brackets bolt on to the frame/front end to hold a Wess Cooley front Cowling, before i order them to see if it also works on my bike.
My bike is a GS1000 G (shafty) that I would like to bolt the Cowling on to.
(I already bought the Cowling by the way.)
Thanking you for your kind help

[Steve]

I don't have any pictues, but I seriously doubt that the G will have the mounting points you desire.

You WILL have to fabricate.

The mounts bolt to the triple clamps so if the G and E/S are similar it should work.

[Coolshaft]

Thank you for the pics!
Indeed it is the same and will work!
Now I can order a set!


Here it sits as of just now.


So from what I deduct is that the front bottom chrome trim also dissapears to the obsolete parts bin!

So what else is in that shed? RG500 road bike and a TZ350C? Shame you own a cat or is that for oil spills? Thanks

[Coolshaft]

Can not show you as I would be banned I understand.
Only GS suzuki's are alowed here.
No, I do not own a katana that leaks oil!

Tried to order these brakets in an USA shop, parts US$54 sweet, UPS freight US$115, not sweet, for les than 500grams.
What is it with UPS trying to charge exorbitant shipping prices?

I believe he was referring to the multiple bags of kitty litter stacked on the far wall in the first picture.

On the contrary, that is only the common thread that brings us together.
We enjoy pictures of just about any bike.

How about USPS or FedEx? Not sure if FedEx goes overseas, but I know that USPS is sometimes MUCH cheaper, especially for a light-weight package such as yours.

waiting on panels to be finnished at the paint Ninja magic man.

If this is not wanted, just take them out or I can edit them away no problem, I do not want to cause problems here in any way or form and will abide by the rules of this forum.

Top collection there, as I recall, our local boy Kork Ballington won the 250/350title on that Kawa in 1978 and 1979 for a double, as far as I know he now lives out on your side of the pond in Brizzy, another South African local boy, Jon Ekerold was one of the few riders to beat the Kawasaki factory works team on a privateer TZ350 in a Bimota frame when he beat Anton Mang in 1980 if I am not mistaken.

I have had an S fairing on my G for years, and it fits, no problem, I do not have the original mounts, had to fabricate my own, but mounted the same, to the triple clamps.

I don't know of ANYONE that would want to ban those pictures.

Nice enough to see some bikes we don't see very often, even better that it's one of our own.

Restored this V one foor a friend back to factory delivery specs

Sadly for you in USA these bikes are not very often seen on your roads.

[steve murdoch]

I have NEVER seen pics of non-GS bikes cause a problem here, Coolshaft.
Great collection you have there.
I have a couple CBXs...how about another pic or two of yours.

COOLshaft old maaaate .................
I'll be right around with the trailer ......... shortly .
Looks like a lot of work and "passion" has gone into that lot .
It's a pitty our money grubbing governments wont allow multiple bikes on one rego .
I guess you don't get to ride them as much as you would like .
You could (until recently) get the fairing mounts from Alphasports but I see they're no longer available .
Give this bloke a call . Mark Geering (02) 66623100 . I met him at The Island last year . Seemed genuine and VERY knowlegable about things GS. He reckonned he could get "unbotanium" but I've never dealt with him .
He built this ....................



Anyway , welcome and thanks for sharing . Let us know how you get on . I could use a set myself ('79) .

Cheers , Simon .

Last time I checked, Bike Bandit still sold the original mounts. It would be way easier than trying to fabricate them.
