    anyone recognize this fairing?

    I recently got a Windjammer, so I'm not intending to buy it, but just wondering if anyone knows the history of the make.

    Wow. Haven't seen one like that before.
    Possibly a Pacifica make???

      Very close on your answer, Doug.\\/ \\/

      It was made by Pacifico, the model was Aero.

      It was a bit smaller than their "normal" fairing and was designed for mid-size bikes. Was rather unique it its time in that there was a vent at the base of the windshield that was always open, and directed air up the backside of the shield. The purpose was to relieve the vacuum formed by the fairing pushing all the air out of the way, and prevented the bubble of protection from collapsing quite so quickly. Rather effective on the bike that I checked it with. Almost got one, but traded my Kaw 650 that I would have installed it on and my 400 in on a 1300 six-cylinder monster.
