I’m pretty sure that is the ‘Kawasaki by Vetter’ touring option offered through US and Canadian Kawasaki dealers in 1979. Fairing, saddle bags / cases, and top box.

definitely not the Kawasaki Vetter. The lines are too smooth on the example. I'll suggest it may be a Vetter Vindicator faring like this EBay example
EBay Vetter Vindicator listing -Wrong. Forget this one. It's close but not exact.
I also found this one EBay listing for a Vetter Windjammer III and this is my best guess.

I'm not sure who actually made the fairing but it appears to be a Kawasaki Grand Touring/1300. It's possible that Vetter actually manufactured these for Kawasaki, I'm not really sure.

The saddle bags were made by Vetter.

It isn’t a Gran Touring B2 ( 1980) - they had different bags and fairing, which I think were made in Japan. I stand by my previous thought that it is 1979 Kawasaki by Vetter .
Later Vetter fairings for the 1981 1300 A3 had a round headlight

Re: Identify who made this fairing?
2 years 1 month agoGot to respect a man that stands behind his statements. I assumed that the 79's and 80's were the same and since I can't find a pic of specifically a 79, May the "identify the faring contest" continueIt isn’t a Gran Touring B2 ( 1980) - they had different bags and fairing, which I think were made in Japan.
