    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

80 1000G - 79 1000N frame

The frames are slightly different that's for sure. I'll go out and see if I can match mine from my 80' 1000G to my 78' frame which is the same as the 79' I 'think'
 
I took a couple of measurements and they 'seem' the same, or at least very close. Unfortunately though I can't see the mounting holes from the picture he posted. You can see the two mounting spots that are c clamped to the frame but a bit above those on the cross member there is supposed to be two holes that line up with the threaded holes in your frame. Make sure those are there or not damaged or the mounting bracket will be useless. I've used other Vetter mounting brackets that weren't 'exactly' for the model of bike and made them fit without too much difficulty so it 'should' work. Too bad the fairing isn't in better shape, looks like it was dropped on both sides, make sure it's not cracked inside. Sure like mine for the exact reasons you want one.

Yes, the frames are different, but not in the area where the Vetter would mount.

Go for it. :encouragement:

Excellent Azr. Thanks for taking the time to check that out. Will pay attention to the details you mentioned. Thanks Steve too for seconding. It always amazes me how members give freely of their time for strangers on the internet. Cheers.

Although some of us are, indeed, a bit stranger than others, you are not a stranger. :-k

You are just a friend that I haven't met ... yet. :encouragement:
