I have a 1977 XS750 that came with a fairing and hard bags. I also have a 1982 XJ1100. It looks as though the fairing and bags will transfer to the XJ if I fab a new support bracket. Has anyone out there done that? Riding in Alaska is a bit chilly at times and getting the wind off my chest is fairly appealing. I would also consider any windshield ideas. Using what I have seems like a good idea if it will work.

for the most part fairings are universal, it is just the mounts that are model specific. XS's and XJ's use the same mount so peruse fleabay for a xs mount.
Would help if you knew what kind of fairing you have though first. Depending on the fairing it may need a specific mount.Nathan
