    Hey Carlos, Just saw your post, that fairing definitely looks like one of the Emgo units.
    I had a similar one on an old GS750 years back.

    They’re not exactly vintage or rare, but they’ve been around forever and still show up on a lot of late '70s and early '80s bikes.
    Pretty common on the GS1000, so your guess is probably right.

    They’re more style than function, wind tends to hit you under the chin, but they do look great, especially on cafe builds.
    You can still find them new, usually in black, and easy to repaint if you're going custom.

    Let us know what you decide to do with it, could be a cool touch on a vintage build.

      Why don't you get lost with your spam?

          Lizzy has been subtly inserting links to Viking Bags website in numerous posts. Otherwise has contributed to many threads without the spammy links. There was another new member doing the same thing a few months ago. I called him out. He went away. Probably same guy. Looks like dpep edited the link out of post #16 in this thread. Here's how I see it: It's OK to work somewhere (most of us do), and it's OK to like to share info on their products because it's something your proud of. But at least own up to it. Maybe me (and Dave Grimly) are wrong. But I don't think so.

            Yep, it would be fine if Lizzywhite (or the owner of Viking Bags) at least paid a sub and as a commercial entity they could be quite open about supporting the site with a bit extra, too.
            I'm also wondering if Lizzywhite is an AI, because the advice she/he/it has been handing out is nothing more than a re-hash of previous advice by other posters.
            I'm thoroughly pyssed off with sneaky plugs. These are underhanded tactics that belong in the 1990s, when businesses decided the internet was one giant free advertising medium for them.
