    What do I have

    I have these parts from different purchases that I have made and need to ID these brackets.






    This is the fairing a couple came with.




    This is the fairing that came with "Brutus" but can't remember if that last bracket pictured came with it or not.





    Do I have everything needed to mount the latter onto "Brutus" if I should choose to do so later on?

    The first two brackets pictured are Pacifico fairing brackets; upper first, then the lower. These can be modified slightly and used with a Vetter fairing. The next fairing is a Shoei, you'll be on your own for this one. The last one is a Yamaha-specific Vetter fairing (may be a '81 Venturer fairing) and the last bracket appears correct for that one.

      Thanks Steve, the last one is for the '81 Venturer and came with my bike unattached. Is it complete with the bracket that's already attached to it or do you mean it also needs the last one pictured in addition to the already mounted bracket?

      That other fairing (Shoei?) has a Yamaha tag on it, I thought it was for a Special.

                      I am riding HIM naked. But I always like to keep my options open, as I get on in years down the road I may want a 2 wheeled Buick. Just don't want to sell off parts I may need.

                        Anyway

                        The lower fairing is definitely Vetter, Windjammer style. The bottom bracket is definitely Vetter, Windjammer style.
                        I already forgot what that middle bracket looked like when I started this reply.

                          Ok

                          That odd bracket looks like the top half of a 2 piece Pacifico fairing bracket.
                          The earlier pic being the bottom half. Keep em both together.
