    Factory fairing with all the side pieces? That has lockable storage right? But no factory radio option?

    Mine is the sport fairing. No storage at all. No lowers. And in the case of mine, in need of some reconstruction.

    I have:

    Windjammer--has storage

    X1--has storage, has lowers

    A different Big OEM Yamaha fairing for XJ's-- has storage, not able to to obtain lowers yet

    Several sets of luggage......

    But only the widjammer has provision for stereo equipment

    The only radio option that I recall Yamaha having for the XJ750 (aside from the police model) was bar mounted, and that was for the Maxim.

    You know what; I'm thinking of the Music in Motion setup. Not a Yamaha produced item, but I know it was offered at some dealerships.
    Unless I'm even more wrong, the only factory radio I can think of was for the Venture and Venture Royale.

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    X-1 Fairing. Storage, and lowers. No radio. XJ mount. 83 750 Midnight Maxim Tour Deluxe
    Maxim Sport fairing. XJ fork mount. 82 750 Maxim w/Bates bags
    Virago 920 fairing, Storage, radio, and lowers. Bolts onto XJ frame mount. Will be looking for an 1100 to put this on eventually

    Still waiting for good pics to properly ID this fairing.

    Either Music in Motion, or possibly a Cycle Sound system.

    XS1100 Silverbird Fairing, and XV920 Virago fairing were factory equipped with radios also.

    Here's a couple different ones.... The only differences are:

    1. I still need to locate a set of lowers

    2. I don't have the windshield yet, and a few other OEM parts

    There are also a couple 750 midnight maxims out there that I've seen in my searches

    The 920 got them also, but there is a whole slew of factory original parts that are parts of the installation, for the maxim

    The Virago radio was an option I was unaware of. My friend's virago has a factory fairing, but no radio, and no cutout for one, just storage on both sides.

    I've seen both of those in my searches----

    The red one is one of the three red ones I come across on maxims other than mine--- the black one is one of two black ones I've come across for viragos, and I've come across two black ones on midnight maxims

    The Virago fairing I have has the radio up where the three round gauge recesses normally are with the speakers in the flat spots to the sides. It might not have been the original plan, but I have seen several done this way.

    Here are pics of the Virago Fairing that I have. I got it from him

    I'll check mine to see if it has radio cutouts or anything

    That's the Music in Motion system. I didn't think it was a Yamaha product, but it does make sense for it to have come from their music division.

    Yeah, I was looking to see what kind of accessories were available for the xj originally and saw that one. I was tempted just for the novelty, but I wouldn't really use it, at least not while riding, and I'd be worried about how quickly it would drain the battery when the bike wasn't running.
