Is this fairing original??



**Hey Firefighter,
I merged your two threads into one, and also converted the links to IMG format so that the pictures would show directly in the message without having to follow the link to photobucket.

I don't think they are OEM, but hard to see the saddlebags in the picture. T.C.

The fairing is a Vetter, it sez "Windjammer" right on the side.

The '78-'79 Models did not come with factory touring accesories. Vetter and others made aftermarket stuff for the bike which is what you have here.
If I am not mistaken, you could buy an '80 with the option of a touring package from Yam. In '81 the "Venturer" (XS11H) came out with fully loaded touring package.

Click on the link below and you will see exactly what came with the Yamaha Factory Touring XS1100 Package. Fairing, sadlebags, touring seat, & Lockhart oil Cooler were standard with the package. The VDO clock, Oil Pressure gauge, Volt meter, Oil Tempurure gauge, were optional through the dealers.

This is the 2nd 1979 Touring bike I have owned. Both equiped the same except for the added optional gauges that this one has.

I bought this bike from the original owner. It's set up just as he took delivery from the dealer. I bought my first one back in 1980 from my Yamaha dealer, fully equiped.

Yamaha did have a "touring package" for the Eleven from day one. My first Eleven was ordered in late 77, and I ordered the complete Yamaha touring kit. The fairing, lowers, and saddle bags came match painted, the front springs and rear shocks were replaced, and the rack and box, oil cooler, and optional guages were all put on by the dealer.
The serial number of that bike was 2H7000254. The only thing I did in 34,000 miles was adjust three valves, and repair the pickup coil wires. I told Yamaha about the problem with the coils in 79, when I did the repair. They had the wires pinched too tightly on the backing plate, and that's why they failed.
