cruiserlover Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 For some reason thehannigan fairing link wont work.usually go to hanniganmotorcyclefairings.com, click on yamaha.You see my black 83 there.I think mine is the only first gen he has done.I gave him the bike also.So he has everything for measurements etc.This was my second 83.The fairing was busted up, hence the hannigan.results? $1000, worth every penny.The fairngs are up to 1/8 inch thick, not any heavier than stock, only come in black.It had snap closure pockets.Drawback, the tank shelter.he put snap on tonneau covers where the shelter wasnt hidden as it was with the stock fairing.Wind resistance is so markedly decreased, you will get about 5 mpg more than stock.The custom lowers he made were $300 more.I didnt really need them.I cant say enough about jerry heil the owner.A true lover of bikes.he has a large collection himself. My oldbike's fairing was really busted up,thats why the fairing.I took all the stock radio junk out.heavy and old,not wanted by me.My bike had lots of wiring problems, ran good, but I spent way too much, decided to stop my losses.That's why I gave him the bike.The stock harness is a nightmare.
Prairiehammer Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Hannigan is still making the fairing for the First Gen Venture? Cool! Here is a pic for those who have never seen the Hannigan fairing .
cruiserlover Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 I cant get hold of him,but that is my old bike on his site.
dna9656 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Well it isn't a knock off that's for sure. I think it looks Harley-ish, like most newer bikes have that 5/8s fairing where the Venture has a 100%. I like the hard ABS, the lock, and greater water resistance the stock fairing offers but if my fairing were FUBAR I would defiantly consider this.
