I haven't had a Rainier in probably 15 years. People in Ok have no clue as to what it is even, except trbig who used to live in Wa.
I can't even remember if I like it.

Rainier beeeeeeeeeeeer errrrrrrrrrrrr
I have been to the factory on tour.
They used to be a sponsor for the road race guys at the Kent WA track, where I did some fairly good work back in the early 70's.
Someone at a party asked how GPS worked, so I told them it was invented by the folks at Rainier, during the production of their add featuring the motorcycle going by. I gave the sound effects and did get around to mentioning Doppler.

Looks pretty good. Someone put a Standard model headlight on there, the Special headlight is round. The saddle seat will be more comfortable for highway riding and looks to have enough clearance in front for a Standard tank if you change it. I personally think they don't look right sitting on a Special.
That fairing looks to be a Pacifico. They actually take a 2 piece mounting bracket. I have one but I need it. I think I have 1 part extra but not the other. The top part that stabilizes it. I might know where to get it though.Greg
