1975-79 Honda GL 1000 Windjammer IV Vindicator II Mounting Instructions
These instructions explain the procedure required to mount either the Windjammer IV or Vindicator II fairing to your motorcycle. We urge you to follow the preparation and assembly sequence from start to finish. This will benefit you directly in several ways:
1) You will be assured the fairing is properly installed and is immediately ready for operation.
2) You will minimize unnecessary confusion, moaning and scraped knuckles.
3) You will protect your investment by doing it right, and
4) With the confidence that nothing has been overlooked, you won’t have to waste time backtracking to correct mistakes. That’s time you could spend riding.
Prepare the motorcycle
1. Put the motorcycle on its centerstand. Remove the 3 phi Hips head screws in the headlight shell. Disconnect the 3-prong plug and remove the headlight. It will not be reused.
2. Detach the right and left turn signal wires from their connectors: 2 green ground wires, 1 orange (left) and 1 light blue (right) turn signal wires, and 2 brown/white running light wires.
3. Unscrew the amber reflectors on each side of the nacelle. Remove the rubber grommets and put the reflectors aside to be reused.
REMOVE THE TURN SIGNALS CAREFULLY. PULLING TOO HARD ON THE WIRES WILL BREAK THE CONNECTIONS AT THE BULB.©
1. Pull the turn signal wires out of the headlight nacelle. Pull down on the plastic strain relief on the headlight stays and remove the relief from the wires.
2. Remove the rubber grommet behind the nacelle bracket.
4. Unscrew the stalks and pull the wires through the mounting holes. (Illus. ?)
5. If you are installing a Vindicator, put the turn signals aside to be remounted.
