Photo of Vetter mount for 850G?

[Pacman]

I searched and saw that people have asked for photos of Vetter mounts but didn't find any responses with actual photos of the mounts.

Can someone with a Vetter mount for an 850G post a photo of the area where the mount attaches to the frame down tubes?

Thanks,
Chris

I can do it later tonight or tommorow.

Thanks Rusty. That would be a big help.

it's mounted on the bike, any problems with that?

I have one that's not mounted. I can get pix of that and hold it up to the bike.
Exactly what are you looking for?
I will shoot to please.

No, that wouldn't be a problem. I'm just looking to see what method Vetter used as the interface between the mount and frame.

Thanks,

I'm looking to see what type of mounting Vetter used between the fairing mount and bike frame.

I have a Quicksilver fairing to mount on my bike. I have a mount that was intended for a different bike with a single downtube. Since it is almost impossible to find specific mounts for these fairings I will have to modify what I have to work for my bike. I would like to match or at least take into consideration what Vetter felt was the best mounting approach to take.:-)

Any photos you could take would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

ETA: I realize you guys probably do not have Quicksilver fairings but I would expect that the interface Vetter used for the GS850 was probably the same regardless of fairing and then he just changed the upper fairing to mount interface to work with the particular fairing. At least that is what I think.

This was on the 80 GS850G I had. THen it was in basement for 15 years. Sold to a fellow GSer last year.

Here is one of the pics of the mounting. CAn see the two angled parts that mate up to the frame downtubes, and can see the U-bolts and other parts in the box that are what bolt/clamp around the frame downtubes.

Steve has the one off the bike, bet if you ask him you can get all the measurements you need to convert yours from single to two tube.

Mine was attached on the flasher mount, and hose clip to fasten it on the lower frame section.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I greatly appreciate your help.
