The brackets were custom made for each bike model, and year -- no real records were kept by Craig Vetter and Company, so no P/N's anywhere.  Troll e-Bay for brackets for your specific year and model, or make your own from steel bar stock.  You could try your local bike junkyards, but you need to know that a particular specimen came off of your make , model, and year...

The fairings, themselves, were universal:  they would work on any bike's, Vetter made, mounting bracket (there were clones made, by competitors -- caveat emptor).  Lowers are the same:  they are a universal fit for all but the earlier, full-sized fairings (around pre-1972?), but they were custom cut for each bike's engine; however, Lowers for the Windjammer V, were completely different, as were the fairings, and their mounting brackets -- the V's were unique from all earlier models.  I bought Lowers from a different year of CB750, but I had to cut them to fit (tedious, but achievable).  As Craig recommends, stay away from Windjammer V's...  Too few, too far between.

Let me know if you need to make repairs to the black plastic of the fairing -- there is a very inexpensive alternative to the Hotcha Kits Craid sells.  By the way, Craig sells a lot of parts for his former company's fairings.  For a great deal more information, visit Craig's web site.  You can also e-mail him -- very friendly, decent fellow.
