I've got a small fairing on my CM400 that has Tracy badges and a CYCLear tag with a serial number. I understand CYCLear bought up Tracy and was then bought up by Memphis Shades.
It doesn't have a cutout for the headlight, just a rubber gasket inside to keep the beam from reflecting back much.

I looked up CYCLear but no photos, but when I look up Tracy fairing I find this:

I guess they had a few NOS units but they're out of stock now.

Hi alan, you really need to pm powderman and make sure he sees that windscreen.  I believe he really needs that to complete a project.
If it works good, it looks good...

I'll look him up, but I've already been asked by a "Local Boston member" for first crack at it if I do part with it.

I was thinking that I should send a message to Gustafsson Plastics and see if they have them available, or if I can send it to them so they can make molds so they can offer it.

Here's a wild custom Goldwing on Ebay that has one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Gold-Wing-/331968955417?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d4ae44419:g:LskAAOSwV0RXqgNh&item=331968955417

I never knew what to think about them really but the Windjammer on this Goldwing that I picked up is. Huge. But...that fairing compared to something like the Thruxton one is apples to olives. The Jammer is like riding around with a half a sheet of drywall strapped vertically to the front of the bike. And it's about as noisy one of those airport shuttle busses. And. It's Ugly.
