Wanted: Pictures of Windjammer on GS1000G

  • Thread starter Thread starter Matchless
  • Start date Start date
Look at my sig. The small top sig picture is my 850 with the 'Jammer IV, the other pictures have the 'Jammer V SS and lowers. It should be similar to what you want. The lowers are actually from a 750 so I had to do some cutting around the engine for it to fit right.

Dan,
Thanks I have peered at those a while back but my eyes are not so good anymore! What sort of cutting did you have to do to make them fit?
 
I'll go back and post them in larger detail for you. Since the 750 has a chain and the clutch apparatus is set up differently I had to cut some extra plastic off, shortening the inner sections of the lowers and shaping them around the engine. Doing so also made my carbs accessible without removing the lowers. I'll take some more pictures later today and post them for you. Hope that'll help some.
 
If you click the link in my sig you'll be taken to the "For Sale" thread for my GS1100G. The pics there don't include the lowers, but here is a recent pic of the bike with the lowers installed.

Thanks, those are exactly the type of pictures I was looking for. What a beautiful bike!
 
Here are some better picts of mine:
There was plastic going back and covering the carb area and it interfered
with the clutch cable so I trimmed it off and also rounded out that circle
around the cam cover cap.

Same thing here on the left side, I had to trim out around the starter,
the cam cap and I took off the part that covered the carbs.

I swear to all the members that the fairing was in one piece when it left my storage unit!! Matchless will be a fibergalss repair expert once he gets that put back together!! LMAO.
 
Matchless..PM sent. I told Dale that i have the radio for that fairing as well..He said it would add a lot of weight and cost, but if you want it i am sure theres a way to figure out nhow to get it to you.

Thanks Chuck. The reply is in your inbox!
That radio is part of the image of that fairing and its a real "must have". Dale is sending me a USA or State flag as well so it is going to be well labeled as to its country of origin! I can promise you its going to grab some attention over here.:D
Its been a long time since I have been so impatient to see something!

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!

I have an extra plastic Cyclesound housing (and probably some Vindicator speaker grills - they were an alternative grill for the cyclesounds). It doesn't include the "flip-up" cover like the one in my pics (those are VERY hard to come by), but I suspect you could fashion a decent replacement with some creative fab work. Also, you'd have to provide your own mounting hardware.

Still, if you're interested we could try to figure out whether it's worth the shipping costs from here to there... PM me if you want to know more.

Regards,
 
Steve, I have the two upper mounting brackets and will be including then with the shipment. :D

not to be greedy, but do you also have a spare radio antenna?
 
This is some project.

Never seen it done before. Where did the idea(s) come from? What is it going on? OH...SO many questions. :-k

Actually I think I also have those brackets, and several others that I wasn't going to mention, because they were included for a "free standing" (no fairing) setup. They don't really apply in this instance, and would only add unnecessary weight.

Regarding the antenna, I don't have a spare and didn't even have an original. The one on my bike (which pretty much looks just like the OEM) was purchased from Radio Shack. I believe it is a marine spec unit (doesn't require grounding to a body panel). I don't know if they still sell them, but if they do I could certainly pick one up and send to S. Africa (as could you, Dale)... Whatever works, either way.

Regards,

It may be a first! It was inspired by the monstrous shipping charges from the USA to South Africa for a complete unit and its going on a GS1000G. There are still a lot of what ifs. Practically it has already been dissected, theoretically it can be reassembled again. Once its here I may post pictures as the project runs. I know its going to be a challenge, but an enjoyable one at that.

Once it arrives the project is in its 3rd phase! (1st- dissection. 2nd - shipping economically):D
 
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.
