Riders Of Vision

im lloking to buy a front fairing for my 82. need bracket too. anyone selling one? w3ould like the one with lower cowls with leg vents

they are rare, so you might be in for a wait.... we really push for people not to part out 83's, but if you find one go for it...  there are other alternatives, Pitchler made a full fairing for the Vision, not too many were produced, & they are big & heavy, but probably have the best wind protection of any fairing for the V.  then there are Shark & Stinger fairings in different flavors, and there is allways the option of adapt your own...

--Lucky

Hartless I have a PICHLER fairing with the sides.  The sides need a bit of work.  It is silver in colour and I also have the fairing brackets as well.  PM me your info and I'll respond with a price and shipping cost.

sooo lucky... where do i find these pitchler fairings and stuff. im having a hard time finding anything aftermarket for this bike. and im not too great with any kind of body work lol

 :) The Yamaha full fairings come up here every now & then...and on eBay. Sometimes it may just be the upper fairing and/or the lowers and/or the brackets and/or the mirrors, etc...if you really want a full unit you have to be patient and sometimes just buy the different pieces as they come up...

There are a few different small fairings available for your Vision...The Yamaha 'Sport' or a 'Shark', a 'Rifle'...however, you can adapt most fairings with a square headlight opening to fit, mostly just a case of fabricating some brackets.

Rare full fairings to find are ones like the PICHLER (that vadasz has for sale) and a Hannigan...

They are all available...somewhere, sometime....... ;)

           

what he said ;)

Hannigan is still in business, Great people to do business with, they might still have parts.

thanks!

I might be willing to let my fairing go, its in need of a skim coat and bondo and paint work... Its exactly as I purchased it for 100 bucks and it took 70 in shipping to get it here from Denver.. I could use some cash to get me to my next gig in Branson... Thought Id put it out there.. Its the full factory one with lowers.

Hasn't anyone made a mould from an original fairing to remake new fairings ?

how much are you trying to get for it funkamongus

I was thinking 150 and shipping. for aLL the parts Ive amassed. I do NOT have a windshield yet. I have mirrors that are mediocre, the brackets, the upper and the lowers.. onve vent in one lower is broken, it needs skim coat and paint. Pics on request!I need to be fast though, Im out of here for quite some time (I hope its for a job) starting mid next week.

if you could send some pics that would always be nice. is the bracket for an 82 ? or does it even matter?

I have an 82 also and was trying to make the conversion. There are a few pieces left for the full conversion.. lid for oil cao extension, shifter, handlebar risers... the other things didnt seem like a make or break thing to me so I was on plan to go forward... I'll take pics tomorrow. I wouldnt sell it at all, in fact, im only kinda halfway putting it out there,  but, I really need the money to have a place to stay when I get to branson!   

totally understandable. im not saying i want to buy it either !lol ,at least not yet!

 :) To give you some idea, a full fairing consists of:

1 x Main upper fairing body.
2 x Fairing lowers with vent's.
1 x windshield.
2 x mirrors.
1 x left side fairing lower bracket with oil filler cap/tube.
1 x right side fairing lower bracket.
1 x head light rubber seal.
1 x main fairing bracket and two clamps to hold the bracket to the frame tubes.
1 x "W" bracket.

It is also helpfull to find '83 front riders foot pegs, gear shift, brake pedal, '83 short handle bar risers and an '83 master cylinder.

           

Ill take pics tomorrow and we'll compare what i have to a complete set.

I'm sure there are some who'll disagree.  Oh well.  IMHO the shorter risers, while not absolutely critical to the installation of the fairing, are critical to its overall proper function.  The foot peg location is a similar situation.

Yamaha designed the fairing kit as a holistic unit to give more sport like ergonomics to any V it was installed on.  Some kit bits can be deleted, but then the overall objective is defeated. 

How about the Rifle Sport Fairing

riflesports ok , im looking for more of a full fairing

sorry, lost you, repost...

as you can see, I lack some stuff, in terms of a "full upgrade" in some arena's. I cant say one way or the other, as I have no experience with it. It seems to lack, 83 handlebar risers, and footpegs, and the mid point for the oil extension, the cap that is a "through" for it, and,, hmmm, Im not sure if there is more missing. Mirrors are 7 out of 10, in my humble view, and, as you can see, she needs massaging and paint... the price of 150 plus shipping for the shooting match, quoted, is something that can, also, be massaged. The time frame, however, is mid next week, and cannot be massaged.

(mid point and cap almost sound like 2 things,, its the same thing.)

PS I stress the time frame, because I do not have paypal. Its about a postal money order, this time. I'd go 200 shipped. Might be as much as I paid, 70, to get it to you, maybe even more. That was from denver to here, South Lake Tahoe. 

and..... like a fart in a hurricane, whoooooooooosh, its gone.

Your absolutely right. I found out the hard way. Installed the fairing and left the old standard risers on. First time you make that left turn, watch your right hand and make sure your brake lever doesn't get pushed in!

Oh yea.. and also in case no one has mentioned it yet (quite possibly have) the windshield for the original fairing is still available new. Lucky sent me the link a while back. If you need it I probably could find it or I'm sure Lucky has it.

HI Adam,

Thank you emailing us here at Hannigan Fairing Company.  We can build a fairing for your Yamaha Vision.  Due to financial turmoil in the mid 1980's the welding jig for building the Vision's fairing mount was scrapped along with about 60 others welding jigs.  In order to build a complete Hannigan Fairing System for your Vision I need  either an original Hannigan fairing mount for a Vision, which is really rare, or a much more common Vetter Windjammer fairing mount for a Vision.  If you or if any of the other Vision owners you can contact can loan us this mount we can build the tooling from it to weld up a Hannigan Fairing mount for your Vision.  The mount you send us will not be harmed and can be put back on a bike after we are return it to its owner. 

I have attached the Vision photo we have which shows our Hannigan SS model fairing with Hannigan Slim-Line Lowers, which give you the best weather protection we offer.  The SS fairing works just fine without lowers coming down about six inches below the rider's knees.  Or you can use our Mid-Lowers which come down to the top of the rider's boot for some additional weather protection.  Also attached are photos of other motorcycles with our Hannigan  SS and ST Fairing Systems.   

All Hannigan Fairing Systems can be had with our Tour-Shield windshield system.  We tailor the Tour- Shield to the way you sit on your Vision so you get a calm, earplug free ride.  Or you can have the Hannigan Sport-Shield for a low, sleek look.  You can switch back and forth between sleek and touring with a power screwdriver in about six minutes depending on the season and the amount of wind protection you want. 

I have attached below our Rider's Features Sheet which has all the details about our several fairing models and which best matches the kind of riding you do and the amount of weather and wind protection you want. 

Hannigan Fairing has been crafting efficient and comfortable weather protection for riders for over 35 years.  We would like to be your fairing builder too.  Reserve your Hannigan Fairing delivery position with Discover, Visa or MasterCard by calling 800-324-7660.  Please allow us seven weeks from order to delivery to construct your Hannigan Fairing

Best regards and good riding to you,
