I asked to the previous owner for the inner fairing, she bought it like that and don't know more.
I noticed that it is the same sewing as the seat, so custom made and don't acces anymore at the storage spaces of the fairing flanges . . . :cry:

The first picture of you 30 years ago brought back memories....Girlfriend of mine at the time wanted to ride, told her to put some jeans on, but she said she would be careful, and wore shorts. I had a Suzuki GS850 at that time, which had exposed pipes like the Wing did. Needless to say, when she got off, she got herself a tattoo on her leg. Guessing she still has that burn mark.

After more than a year, I found some time to look after my 1100.

For those who wants to follow the "backontheroading" :-D process, I started to post the details and pictures on a french side-car forum :

I finaly understood the purpose of this engine guard : it's pretty convenient for handling the sidecar backwards, during parking or displacement into the workshop ! anim-cheers1
