Chapter 61: We need to make some decisions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
I am now 70 years old. Time is running out for your motorcycle designer. I need your help to make some decisions. Which of the following projects do you want - if any? The Vetter Streamliner Kit that allows your bike to get 100 mpg My ALCAN Fairing kit which is a modern Windjammer My book (s) featuring stories of motorcycle design | ![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The five major fiberglass parts are needed to build your own streamliner I have spent the past 5 years developing the Last Vetter Fairing. I know what to do for best mileage, comfort and desirability and this is it. It is time for you to decide if you want one. It is time for me to decide whether or not to produce kits. The molds don't exist yet. If enough of you are interested in buying this kit, I will spend the winter finishing the molds. The shape is for a 24" wide streamliner. The length is variable. Can you make a better one? I doubt it. I began work on this at the end of 2007. Read all 60 Chapters of its development. Can you do it for less? I doubt it. The price will be around $2000 plus shipping... maybe another $250. I don't want your money now. I just need to know if you are likely to buy this kit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Last Vetter Fairing | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is the best fairing I have ever designed. It makes the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. It carries the biggest load. It burns the least fuel. I have one on my Honda Helix which gets 80-90 mpg in real 70 mph riding. Alan Smith has one on his 250 Ninja which gets closer to 100 mpg. If you want a Streamliner Kit, please let me know. If enough are interested, I will make the parts for you. If not, I will cease further development. This is the last fairing I will design.

![]() | Next in line for my attention is the Alcan Fairing Kit. Its parts would be similar to those of the Streamliner, above. Finished, it would be a modern, Windjammer-like fairing, but scaled up to fit the much larger motorcycles of today. The Windjammer won't fit today's giant bikes. The ALCAN will. Last, and probably my most important responsibility is to finish writing my book. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
