I like the Mutazu, for the look I am going for on my bagger. Need to see the brackets for fab ideas.

OK boys and girls my Goldwing is a 82 Interstate.I used the factory brackets for the 3 LB wieght behind the headlight for the bottom brackets with a L-bent piece of flat bar stock.The only thing I did to the bracket was cut off the tab on the side that limits the downward travel.I drilled four 1/4 inch holes in the bttom of the fairing and bolted it together.The pictures will show how simple this is.

OK boys and girls if your still with me the top was just as easy as the bottom.I used two 7/8 3-piece clamps and some flat bar stock that I bend and twisted to go from the clamps to the mountng holes in the fairing for the windshield.I used a piece of heavy gauge sheet metal behind the windshield to cover it up and give solid support for the fairing again the pictures will show how simple this is.The biggest expense for this was the chrome nuts and bolts.

Like it, and it should come off just as easy. That is a nice option.

Definitely looks good. The important thing is that my wife like how it looks since it is going on her bike.
Thanks for the pictures. I am using the exact same clamps on the handle bars.
I bought some 39mm clamps to go on the forks above or below the fork ears for hers.

^^^^ That is awsome looking bike.

To the OP the cb750 fairing is a steel. Plus you keep it in the Honda family.

At Randakk's in 08 there were a couple of bikes with them. I thought the combination was great and they went very well together. Sorry but I do not have any info or better pics on how they were mounted

That is really sweet, but not sure you need the bags as with that seat, you are going to be limited to about 20 minutes of ride time lol. All kidding aside, she is really really sweet. What are you planning for a seat?

The first seat I had was a cafe style on a factory seat pan.The seat just didn't flow with the bike.I didn't like the factory seat with the lips sticking up again just didn't flow with the bike,so I took apart the factory seat modified the passanger section of the seat pan by hacking off the big bump and I'm in the process of trimming down and reshaping the foam to give it a more sleeker appearance.Everything else was like childs play biulding this bike except for this seat,now I know why Corbins are so expensive.
