    If its a Vetter Fairing (Windjammer), shields are pretty easy to come by via E-bay. I have a Vetter Windjammer and I cut my own shields from acyrlic palstic. Need pic to ID what fairing ou actually have.
    When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger

              You need to make sure it's a Windjammer fairing before you order a windshield for it, and don't believe everything you read on Ebay, right now there is a guy trying to sell a factory Honda 500 Interstate fairing as a Vetter.

                  Sign up for an account on photobucket. It's free.

                  Upload your pictures to your page. 640X480 size. Hold the cursor over the pic you want to upload and you will get a short menu. Put the cursor over the IMG link, right click and hit copy. Then just paste it into your message here. Be sure to put your photo on a different line from your text. Or leave a blank line.



                  Should look just about like this.

                  By the way, Welcome.

                          Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but that does not look like a Vetter fairing of any model. Definitely NOT a Windjammer. Are those built-in lowers, or are they just mounted and hard to tell where the seam is?

                            the lowers are mounted on. it has a square headlamp.

                              If you can post a shot from the front, it would help. Most of the Vetter fairings have an "arc" on the front lower part of the shield. Some of the later models have this arc covered with a plastic bit. If it does NOT have an arc, you will need to do a little more research to get the proper shield.
                              Look at the photo latexeses posted. The center bike has a vetter design Yamaha fairing. It takes the same shield as almost all windjammers. That's me on the yellow bike, getting ready for a test ride.
