Wanted: Pictures of Windjammer on GS1000G

Thanks Steve. let me know what you and Andre work out.

I still have one lower which, more than likely, will have to be shipped when the 9 pin wiring harness arrives.

If Andre decides on my housing it might make sense to consider shipping our stuff together to him... We can look into that possibility if/when he decides what he wants to do.

Regards,

Good pictures! I am still trying to locate a radio pod, did you make the speaker panels on the cubby holes?
Thanks and nice bike!

Yep. Formed them from 16 gauge sheet steel and covered with marine grade black vinyl. Painted the underside gloss black.

He's too humble ... it was a terrific job that has to be seen to be appreciated - Here's the link he SHOULD have included, hehe!

That's very nice I must say and a very good idea!

By the way ... One option if you wanted to avoid the vinyl covering would be to use a spray truck bed coating. This would accomplish several things:

1. It is possible to get various texture effects depending on how you use the spray, so with a little practice you could match the fairing texture pretty closely.

2. It might provide better sound deadening (enhancing the sound) than simply covering the steel with marine vinyl.

3. It might do a better job of hiding the rivet marks where the brackets are attached to hold the new cover to the fairing.

4. It should provide better rust protection than simply covering the steel with marine vinyl, though realistically it probably wouldn't matter much since the steel won't be visible.

Just a thought I meant to share with Dave originally...

Not a bad idea Steve. I wish I'd thought of it. Probably would have done it...and it would have been easier to boot. The idea arose out of trying to find some way to mount larger speakers than the 4" round ones in the radio housing. 4x6's were as large as I could go in those covers. I'm still not 100% satisfied with the sound though because the bass response is just not enough. Oh well, it's better than just the 4" ones.

Thanks for the kind words.

Great looking picture Steve. Hope the drive was good.

Is that an oil spot I see?

A H-D must have parked there for a minute or two at one time.

Exactly what I was looking for!
