My first thought was "Vesco Rabid Transit", but then I looked that up and said "no, it's not".
Any markings on the inside to give any hint about the manufacturer? Almost looks BMW-esque, too.

I dunno how well a little 550 can push that through the weather?
Prolly get much better performance on a liter bike.
Very good protection from all kinds of wet and cold weather for sure."Only fe' collected the old way, has any value." from His Majesty O'Keefe (1954 film)

Off to collect it tonight, so will check for any markings on it and report back!
I am predicting and severe reduction in performance once it's fitted bust worth a try for £20!
I suppose if if I am going slower, at least I will be warm haha!!Comment

I had one almost the same as that on my 79 bike.Originally posted by Gadgetboy550 View PostThought i would share this monstrosity with you all.. found it on Ebay and was going cheap, thought it could be fun to play around with!

There was a rash of them around at the time - inspired by the BMW RS / RT fairings and all of them grossly inferior to the real thing. In my fairing (made by Acrybre), the fatal flaw was a knife-edge blast of icy air that concentrated itself on my kneecaps. Apart from that, it worked well enough, but nowhere near as good as the one it copied, as I knew from direct experience of the RT.---- Dave

Looks like it would be an almost perfect accessory for a KZ1300."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
