Title: Qs: Mounting a Swannee/ H&H fairing on a G5
Post by: Shorty on June 06, 2019, 02:55:16 PM
I want to install a H&H/Swannee fairing on my G5. The mounting hardware that came (used, not Harper's fault) with the H&H is crap, probably for a different model. Has anyone put an H&H on your vintage Tonti? What mounts did you use? Gotta photo? Better yet, got an unused set up? Thanks!

I'd think a Jammer would be more period correct  :evil:  :smiley: I have a beat up one and fabbed up mounts out of angle iron, etc. really cheap.  :cool: :boozing:

Mine is a '94 California 1100 ; still a Tonti .
Mounts are simple and hold well .
Two to handlebars , two to lower triple .

As far as I can tell the original Swanee used 5/16 rod on their mounts while the H&H uses 1/4" rod on their mounts.  The 1/4" might seem a little flimsy but it has been holding up well on mine.  I really like the pocket of air behind this fairing.

What Chuck said:  I have a jammer-style on my T - works great!  Not sure how a Swanee would fit.

  Here's what came with the fairing. No bottom clamps at all. The clamps are about 1 1/4" , and they are marked H&H. Not sure what bike had handlebars that fat... The rods do look like 1/4 inch. Looks like I'll have to find a universal 7/8th handlebar windshield mount kit. Thanks for the photos and info! You too Chuck.... :wink:

Harpers has the other clamps and stuff that you need, you only have 2 of the 4 that are needed.  I have bought extras from them in the past to use for other things.  The larger holes are probably the bottom clamps that went around the shocks and you need the upper clamps for the handlebars.  Also maybe a different size for the lower clamps?
