    Look what I found!

    In the GS1000S facebook group someone from Australia posted this.....I saw the price and didn't hesitate as I need one for my Cooley.
    Ordered it on last Monday and it showed up at my door on Wednesday...turns out it came from a guy just on the mainland...lol...he has other stuff too

      Nice find. I wonder if he (or anyone here) has the rubber molding that surrounds to top of an S fairing. I've needed one of those for years..never had one in fact.

          I don't think my temperaature gauge goes that high, but what a nice find. It would be easy to fabricate a case for that.

              Speedo in kph, but temp gauge in Fahrenheit? WTF, Canada? Oh well. At least you get All-Dressed chips up there. They're rare as hen's teeth below the 49th Parallel.

                Nope...speedo is in mph....and it's an American bike not a Canadian bike. The speedo is from a 79 as the speedo for an 80 had the dreaded 85mph (because Harley was scared of better made Japanese bikes ) limit.

                  Great find ! Just found me a nugget too, bought it in a heartbeat.
                  I bought something similar for 4 times the price some years ago ...
                  Happy days, i have been looking for one for years ..
