I see endless builds of CX500s that are cafe racer/tracker style but, and this isn't confined to the CX500, no builds of sport touring motorcycles. It would seem like a great platform for sport touring but even finding aftermarket fairings is like searching for the holy grail. Is this a genre of motorcycle that has been relegated to the dustbin of history?

The bikini and cafe fairings are much too small to give realistic coverage on a sport touring bike. I suppose the flavor of the month attraction of cafe racer/scrambler/tracker bikes drives the aftermarket towards a different set of products. In my research I see the old names, like Vetter, are out of the business so I interpret that as a change in tastes that works against me.
