Got my Windjammer mounted and wired!

My 1978 gs750 came with a Windjammer. At first I was not going to use it; it just didn't seem to go with my stripped down, semi-cafe plans, but then an idea hit me and I just had to use it!




It was in pretty bad shape, but I managed to get it cleaned up and mounted.







The wiring was a mess. I had to completely rewire it.








Just got it done and could not wait to show it off!








Here it is!

Doesn't it work better on a motorcycle?

Oh, I get it. Garage art. Excellent.

I could see that being used as a spotlight for bands in a biker bar.

Ya but do the signals actually work???

Actually the lights are a short string of Christmas lights for ceramic trees or a village. The tough part was scoring the back of the headlight and breaking out the plug and element. Then I covered the sharp edges with aluminum duct tape and put the Christmas bulb inside the headlight. The turn signals were easy; I just removed the stock bulbs and popped in the Christmas bulbs! I plugged them into my outlet for the shop lights, so it comes on with the light switch. I have never been a fan of the Windjammer, and this one is in terrible shape, so I think it makes a perfect accent lamp!
