Oh man Don, I love your fairings - I just can't justify spending twice as much on a fairing as I did on my bike.

I know, same here. I posted it for the guy that has to have one. The odds of me finding a reasonably priced vesco are slim too. That's why I bought a $30 windjammer.

It would be bad to have your bike stolen for the fairing...

If you really want one I wouldn't give up looking.  There are lots of sellers dreaming / fishing out there.  It's funny how quickly bad information about something this rare spreads over the internet.  Someone stumbles across one, wants to sell it, does a google search and gets that 950 dollar ebay hit and suddenly there are 3 or 4 for sale at inflated prices.  That's not to say that the ebay seller won't get 950.  He might, but i don't think that's market appropriate.  There are plenty of people with enough money that the can buy what they want and not worry about the price.  I'm not one of those.

The 250 dollar ebay auction is more inline wtih what i've seen.  Mine had nice original paint, the original wind screen and lowers, and had minimal fiberglass damage and was complete with wiring, mount, etc.  I think I paid around 350.

Still alot of money for a fairing for an old bike to be sure but you'd spend that much in gas on your annual summer motorcycle tour.

It's a great fairing to be behind on a trip.

I think one factor that drives the price high on these is they were on a lot of BMW bikes and some tanks and other things for these niche "the look" parts command high prices in those circles.

I know lots of folks think the Windjammer fairings are butt upgly, but I personally like them. Had one in the 70s so part is reminiscing but they also work well. I just picked up a F2 mounted with one for $800 so I took it off and put it on my K4.

But that Vesco looks great on the Super Sports. Hope I can find one.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
