Im not sure but i think its a bates,thay made all kinds of fairings.i have one but not that model

 

[dan filipi]

That's different!

I saw that on Cragslist kind of cool I don't know what t is, but i don't think I would want it.

 

[dan filipi]

If it's complete and not a rust bucket that's a good deal.

The fairing would have to go but how unique eh?

 

[scratch99]

when i was looking for my bates fairing.you should see some of the fairings i seen.like this one,it had a trunk in the fairing

A buddy of mine years ago had that same fairing(or one dang close to it) on his Moto Guzzi...seems like it(his) was a Windjammer, but my memory sux these days....

The bike collector up on the corner by me has an old 1000 with a BATES clipper fairing.Not like the picture one,but does have a trunk in the front,and a windshield that turns with the bars,kinda like a phazer snowmobile.
Ugly,but one of a kind forsure.

[dan filipi]

The more I look at that thing the more I think it's a special breed.

(sigh) wish I had $700.

dan if i could i would send you the money to buy that .....i like it ....and its so close to you ....you deserve another bike and this one is one of a kind at least now days it is .....wish you could figure out a way to get that beast it would be a nice addition to the forum :good: k: oh2: :headscratch: well i for one like it :mrgreen:

 

[Joep]

It maybe a Califia/...here is another one like this I fgound when doing a search.. Http://www.kz1300.com/members/bill-matchus5.jpg

 

[scratch99]

Dan i agree with joe.not some thing you see every day.and i for one would really like to see a bike like this one day.i have not doubt it would be in great hands. :good:

 

[joedrum]

dan maybe if you could look at and if good could somehow buy this bike we could start a thread to collect donations to replace your investment to keep you out of trouble or hot water or whatever title sould be ....im sure we can make a good dent into such a small investment . dont think about it just do it if you can leave the rest to faith .... :mrgreen:

 

[dan filipi]

I like that idea :good:
I sure couldn't spare $500. As it is we're having to pull some retirement out to meet ends this month, scary work wise.

FWIW I sent the listing an email to see if it's still available.

The mistery has been solved. The fairing is a Tridair Voyager by Kimstock,inc. 2200 Yale st Santa Anna Ca. 92704. I ran across an ad. for it in the October 76 Rider mag.
