Motorcycle Fairings

A motorcycle fairing is a shell made of metal, plastic, or composite material designed to be placed on the frame of some bikes to improve their aerodynamic characteristics and reduce drag while also protecting the rider from wind and flying debris. Besides, it can shield the engine and other crucial systems of a motorcycle in case of a crash. In almost 100 percent of the cases, a motorcycle windscreen is integrated into the construction of the front fairing. By reducing aerodynamic drag, motorcycle fairings allow riders to reach higher speeds at lower RPMs thus increasing fuel mileage while prolonging the service life of the engine.

The higher the speed, the better the effect of a fairing manipulating the airflow. All racing motorcycles are equipped with fairings to overcome high air resistance at high speeds. Many riders like installing them on their street, touring, or dual sport bikes giving their machines more finished, sporty, personalized looks. Also, a pocket of less turbulent air around the cockpit created by a fairing makes the ride more comfortable and less tiresome, since the rider has to spend less energy on maintaining his or her position on the bike. There are three main types of motorcycle fairings that cover different sections of the bike.

A full front-mounted fairing covers the whole front section of the motorcycle including its upper and lower portions. This type of fairing rarely comes with a tall windscreen since the rider tends to sit lower, close to the gas tank to reduce drag at high speed. A lower section of the full fairing can protect the engine and chassis during an accident when the bike starts sliding on the road. A half fairing usually comes with a windscreen. It covers the handlebars and can extend to the sides covering a cylinder block. The gearbox and crankcase usually remain open.

A quarter fairing, which is also called a bikini or café fairing, usually covers only the handlebars and headlamp. Its main function is deflecting airstream to protect the rider from wind gusts. The modern aftermarket offers a wide variety of full-fairing conversion kits allowing users to upgrade their half-fairing models with full fairings. On the digital shelves of our online store, you can find motorcycle fairings made of durable, hard-wearing materials, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, aluminum, and various composites and polymers featuring powder-coated steel brackets. Some of our fairings are designed to accommodate motorcycle stereo systems and come with ready-for-paint gel-coat finishes.

Visit our store to find a huge variety of vehicle-specific and universal motorcycle fairings produced by some of the most reputable manufacturing companies in the industry, such as Bagger Brothers, Memphis Shades, Yana Shiki, Conely’s, National Cycle, Dragonfly Cycle Concepts, and many others. Also, here you can acquire high-quality hardware necessary for the installation. The difficulty of installation depends on the type of your motorcycle. If you are familiar with the construction of your machine, you can easily install an aftermarket fairing kit by yourself in mere minutes using only basic hand tools. Make sure that all fairing parts are properly fastened before riding your bike again.
