What is this fairing?

I just picked up this 81 1100 and I am trying to find out what this fairing might be. It uses the stock headlight bucket attached to the inside and looks to use the stock mirrors. Has anybody seen one of these before?
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the ID, I was hoping that it was some kind of Suzuki part but it looks ok on the bike. Now I have to wash off 6 years of basement dust from the last owner. Then make it run, thankfully they drained the tank and carbs.

Thought it would be off the touring range of Kawa's like a GT. The headlight looks too big for a GPZ900
 
My guess is that its a Greer "Mach 1". I have one on my Nighthawk 700S. I have the lowers too. I bought one direct from Greer for a 700S I had in the late 80s. I had such regret after selling the bike that I told myself I'd buy another 700S if I could find another Greer to fit one. It was quite a few yrs later, but I found one in pretty bad shape on ebay. I bought it even though I didn't have a 700S to mount it on. I eventually bought another 700S, painted the fairing to match and mounted it. Great fairing, in my opinion.

Another possibility is a little more obscure than the GPZ fairing. :-s

Would anyone be surprised to learn that I happen to have the June, 1980 edition of Motorcyclist magazine which happens to have a touring fairing buyer's guide? :shock:

Here is one of the fairings that looks rather close. Might it might have even been the inspiration for the Kaw fairing?

... to put on my 19798 GS 1000. Any recommendations as to what might work?
 
I agree with Willie - it's a Greer. They offered this with round and square headlights iirc. You can tell it's not a Kawi gpz by the fact that it doesn't have the indentations for the turn signals to mount on either side of the headlight.
