Does anyone have pictures or measurements of the mounting bracket(s) for a Windjammer on a Commando?
Any info gratefully received.
 
Almost missed your post before it slide off front page, but I've a big Windjammer kit in big box I think has the mounting kit included so can dig out to help next few days when I get around to it. In mean time there's plenty of references to Windjammers online and rather common fitted to Nortons so may find it before I can. I ain't going to use my kit which has lowers and saddle bags too.

here's some views of TC's mounting

I mounted a Vetter on my MK3 several years ago. I think the mount I had was for a Honda 750, but I modified it to fit the Norton. The pictures don't show most of the mount details, but they might help a little. I took it off after a few rides. It's not a light fairing, and the bike didn't handle as well with it hanging up there in front. I've know a couple other folks to fit them to Commandos and liked them, so maybe it was just me. I did fit a light weight plexi windscreen later, but eventually stole it for another bike. I think I just enjoy the feeling of the bike more in an open configuration. If I did a lot of high speed freeway riding, I'd probably feel different, but I don't.

Thank you one and all.
Just to fill in the gaps - My commando is currently cafe-ish but i can only comfortably fold onto it for shorter rides (6'2" and prematurely ageing :D ) so a more upright riding position is in my near future.
With that in mind i picked up a Windjammer IV (integral indicators) off a local auction site but it came as advertised without a mounting bracket.
Motoalchemist if you are saying you may have a spare i would be happy to discuss a price.
 
No offense, I guess to each their own... but that thing IMO is the ugliest thing I've ever seen on a Commando.

I was expecting it to polarise opinions, had a visitor last night who was less subtle with his feedback.
 
Iain, ignore the nay sayer's as its like stating what would Marlyn Monroe be w/o all her blonde hair, why the sexiest bald headed woman in the world with a hat on.
