Standard gearhead.
Not on here, but there are a few nutters out there that have. Apparently you can buy the fairings for the Big Z from Japan, where they do a replica of Gooses.
Heres a Youtube video of one of the fellows with a nice recreation:

Hmfff! Bronze! We know who you are!!!
Staffy
It's not yours 'til you cut it up.
Those fairings come up from time to time here in Australia. There was one as part of this auction recently http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220644617194&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
It's been modified to accept the CX header pipes. I believe the Goose bike was a Kawasaki Z or something similar but i may very well be wrong.

Goose's bike was a Z1000 Kawasaki (KZ1000 to you Yanks :
). It had a La Parisienne fairing. My brother had the same fairing on his Z900 and did many miles on it before trading it on a brand new Z1300 back in 83.....but I digress.....
La Parisienne operated out of Melbourne but closed up shop in the early 80's once the Japs worked out some people wanted bikes with fairings.....so they started making them as standard
Although, this movie is a better bike movie than Mad Max IMO:

No, not according to the IMDB (International Movie Database) website.

and "Attempted Suicide Jumper" was played by Micheal Shaner. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0788093/

Cool link! I wondered if they were the same person cause sometimes stars have their buddies appear in other movies along side them. Burt Reynolds was cool about that.
