Which Vetter fairings (e.g., Windjammers) fit a V7 II?

Hey all! I hope this general discussion area is appropriate. I'm seeking way-back knowledge that former owners of V7s might know, even if they're now haunting the Stelvio or Flying Fortress pages!
I love my 2015 V7 II, but have never solved the 70+-mile-an-hour-for-hours-on-the-highway wind problem. Short screens just throw the buffeting at my helmet, so I go without. (Someday, I could experiment with a cafe fairing, if it parts the wind but only sends it to my chest. But the long-distance wind-and-weather problem would remain.)
I have a chance to buy an old Vetter Windjammer fairing. Waiting to see what model. I checked the old Vetter site, which has a little mounting info, very helpful, but no list of which-model-fit-which-Guzzis.
Meanwhile, I found pics like the attached which indicate that the Windjammer III, at least, used to fit perfectly on earlier V7s. So, what if I find it's another Vetter fairing?
Anyone have any memory or have access to info about which Vetters fit the V7 family?
THANKS!

To me that is too much weight on the front of the bike. It will fit but you will have to make your own mounting system and wiring connections. You may have more comfort at the expense of handling and road-ability. Having the engine guards that attach at th efront of the frame of the bike may make mounting the fairing easier. As I remember the mounting system for windjammers for my previous T-3 used the engine guards as part of the mounting system.
 
I have sold 100's of Windjammers in the old days at a dealership. I don't think you will find one. Your motorcycle was not available when Windjammers were being produced, so there would not be a bracket designed to fit.
