78 Pacifico fairing availability

[Crazcnuk]

Just wondering how readily available the original Yamaha Pacifico fairings ,from the 78e are?

I picked up the 78E and it has a pacifico on it, but not the type that would have come on it originally. I theink the mount may be for the original, though, as it doesn't fit the fairing on it quite right.

Also, there is a pair of lowers for the XS1100 pacifico on Ebay, cheap. Although the guy won't ship up here, they are still a good deal.

Fairing

hey craz when my 78 was bought the owner had the dealer put on the hard bags, sissy bar, cruising seat, and fairing and lowers which is a wind jammer with cycle sound, so i don't if there was a choice of fairings back then!!

Yours is a generic Vetter Windjammer III. I have an 80G with the Yamaha Vetter on it (rectangular headlight) as well.

The 78 I have here has a pacifico on it, but it is a generic 'Aero' I think. However the mount bracket is for the larger Classic fairing as far as I can tell.

If possible I would like to gt a hold of a the correct fairing for this bike, but not sure how easy that will be.

What gets me is those lowers for sale on Ebay, they are going dirt cheap and I would pick them up, just in case, but the seller won't ship out of the US. he's in Georgia, US.

Anyone out there have a picture of the original XS1100 with Pacifico classic fairing?

Did they have a round or rectangular headlight?

Here's one. I believe, since they were only on the '78, the Pacifico's had the rectangular headlight.

Cool, was looking for a picture.

Here is one on Ebay, missing the lowers. Anyone know what those bags and trunk are?

Wow thats a sweet ride..I have the exact same topbox by KG...their Panniers also are matching...all in all a nice touring pkg.

[acof911]

thanks.
This is a Yamaha touring package, I don't think it was made by K&G but I'm not sure about that.
I need to sell the bike and may end up removing and selling the touring stuff if no one buys the complete cycle.

here's a pic of mine came with owner to australia in 1980 iv'e had it 18 months now .I would love a original top box for it but this model never came to australia and shipping would be huge on one from the states

Wow! That's an elegant bike! I really like the colors and the touring package/seat. I can definitely understand your desire for a trunk. That would really finish out the package!

The ad tells you the bags and trunk are KG brand...I have this trunkon my Maxim...

[Crazcnuk]

I don't think shipping on just the trunk would be all that bad. They aren't that large and are not very heavy.

It's the rack that is odd shaped and heavy.

I would like to find the original Yamaha venture trunk for my 80G. Right now it has the Vetter Tour pack trunk. Everything else is the orignal setup.

I found a Pacifico fairing, that has 'Yamaha' on it, but it has a round headlight. The price is right, I just have to drive 20hrs to get it!

Maybe this weekend.

Here is what is on the 78E:





and a shot of the mount where the lowers would go.



I know this is not one of the fairings that came on the XS11, not sure about the mount, as this fairing had to be adapted to fit the mount.
