Add article description

The Vetter Fairing Company was a manufacturer of motorcycle accessories including the Windjammer series of motorcycle fairings. The business was founded by Craig Vetter in 1966,[3] sold in 1978,[4] and went bankrupt in 1983. Bell-Riddell Inc. acquired the assets, and produced fairings for a few years.

Quick Facts Industry, Founded ...

Their fairings and trunk/hard bag setups were frequently used to turn a "standard" (no fairing or luggage) motorcycle into a "full bagger" (AKA full dress) setup in the times before Honda started producing full baggers from the factory. With the advent of the full dress Goldwing, Calvalcade, Venture, and others, demand for an aftermarket solution reduced and Vetter went out of business.
