Title: Will this Vesco make my ass look fat?
Post by: cruzziguzzi on July 25, 2017, 09:01:15 AM
I can't find any pics of a Vesco on a modern (pre-1400) California.

Anyone have a pic?

I was thinking too.... I'd like to get an idea of how it'd look on a California "project" bike that I want to take the place of my Calvin.

It looks like there's a crack running up the right side of the windshield.

I think that's a trick of the light.   If it WAS cracked, and the ad doesn't mention it, that would be dishonest.

That's a really good looking old fairing.   I don't have anything at the moment that it would work with, but hope someone gets it and enjoys it .... !

Given its condition, I'm not sure I'd believe the "never saw the road" claim. That's a lot of "scuffs" for just "being stored in the shop." Buyer beware.

Steve Miyagawa has one on a California III he dubbed the "Terrapin Flier". You might find a picture on the past rally photos on wmgr.org  Maynard has one on a T3 as well.
I am currently on a limited Wi-Fi and can't go find it.
I have one in my attic too, if anyone wants to make an offer.

That looks pretty good.   If I saw that going down the road, I'd look twice and still would not be sure of what I was seeing ....

If some one is sincerely interested, I have one that I would turn loose of for $300. Be aware that it is not perfect, but is solid. Never used it on a project as the mounts seem somewhat cheesy.
It is forkmounted and not really what I was looking for.
PM me if really serious.
It does look really cool and a rare piece of moto history.

Harpers should buy that thing, copy it and sell repops.  It would brighten up about any Tonti repli racer.  :wink:

Check out Don Vesco Wikipedia page...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Vesco

18 mc and 6 auto land speed record...

1963 500cc US Gran Prix champ...

Slightly before my time

in 2001, set the wheel driven land speed record of 458mph...one year before his death

Now that my friends is one way to go full bore sliding sideways into the grave, as they say...

And later, it mentions Rapid Transit fairings...which I've heard of, and seen on a V7 Sport from the 70s...looked great, ...big, heavy perhaps, but solid

Clears things up nicely for me, thanks.

And to other responders as well.

Usual suspects excepted!  :thewife:
