I loved those little Japanese motorcycles and really expected that if I made fairings for them, people would buy them. But they didn't. Riders would rather save their money for their next purchase of a bigger bike. So, the cute little Series 800 was never very popular.
To make it, I simply sectioned a Series 1000 at the middle and at the front (to make it narrower to fit the smaller headlights) and put it back together. From that I had a mold made and made the parts from that mold |

| Most Series 800 fairings went on Honda 160s, Bridgestone 175s and Suzuki 200cc X5s. This was Steve Sanderson's 160. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Look at what I found at Will Stoner's Vintage Days at mid Ohio in 2001. Its a very rare Series 800 fairing from 1967! My wife, Carol found it and bought it for me as a birthday present. They are still out there.

After giving away all my fairings to the Hall of Fame Museum in Ohio, in 1998, think I have "Donor's Remorse". Must collect them back |
