Those cowls/fairings appear to be more similar to the ones that came on the "st" models. the one I am referring to is shown in the Gustafsson online catalog as a "Manxman"  and the Gustafsson site shows a page from the same catalog I ordered mine from in 1979. But, Gustafsson only has the windscreen.

More pics of my bike & the fairing are here:

The Manxman fairing was NOT a factory accessory.  It sure does look sharp though.  I went with the Tracy fairing when I added one to my bike in the 80's.

Yes, the factory cowl fitted the ST models, as well.

That is another neat feature of RealOEM - on the "home page" (for your bike), there is a field called "PART NR APPLICATION SEARCH".  Type your part # in their, and you can see every application for every little bit on the bike, including the parts use in BMW automobiles.

Aha! BCW - I've been trying to pull that name back. Lucky you with your catalog still around. Are they still in business, are the fairings still available? [smiley=bmw_smiley.gif]

Apparently they are still around, as an independent shop in San Francisco.

And I think the only way you will find a Manxman fairing would be on the used market.

This weekend, I will scan that catalog and put it on my PBase account.
