    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.

Seems to be a lot of interest in the venerable Vetter Windjammer here lately.
How about a Windjammer only picture thread.

Post some pictures of that Vetter equipped road barge.
Be sure to include any mods, tips, tricks or improvements you've made too.

About halfway up Palomar Mt. The whole hillside was burnt by the fires.

Here's mine again. Actually, both of my 850s have Winjammers now. I have a white one on the burgundy bike but no picture as yet.

Four bikes? That's it?

Is there no love at all for this classic design?

This may be the red headed step child thread. :rolleyes:
 
I felt obligated since I have a Relationship with Your 850G.:D
 
My 1984 GS1100GK after installation of Windjammer IV. Stock GK fairing and trunk were destroyed in the "Bambicide" of Dec 2001. I added lowers to the fairing a month after these were taken.

Also destroyed was the GK triple tree. I replaced the triple tree with one off an old GS850G. Front brake parts transferred without modification. (GK front end is different (wider) from that on the 850G, 1000G, and 1100G).

I enjoyed riding behind the Windjammer for 7 riding seasons. No modifications to Windjammer, with standard windshield. No radio, no electronics.

The seat is a velour-topped unit by Diamond Custom Seat. I ordered it in early 2001 from Diamond, with my measurements -- inseam, height, weight, passenger or no. I sent them the pan, and a month later I had the seat. It was pricey, but a superb investment.

This seat allowed me to enjoy hour after hour on the GK for many years.

The velour makes summer riding much cooler, and cold-weather riding much warmer. My tush is important to me. :)
 
Haha, thanks 8-track. On the other link u can see pics of some of my other recent bikes though some are gone now.

Here's mine when I bought it last march. Being new to riding, I removed the Vetter kit, not to damage it (not if, but when I will drop it, wich occured twice already:o).
Also, knowing I had a lot of wrenching to do, it would be more convenient.
This thread now got me thinking I might put it back on...
