Abstract
A motorcycle fairing is disclosed herein which comprises a one-piece, formed sheet of acrylic plastic having portions which extend in front of and above the motorcycle handlebars, and further including leg portions which extend downwardly along the opposite sides of the front fork of the motorcycle. The bottoms of the leg portions are shaped to direct air which confronts a moving motorcycle downwardly and toward the intake manifold of the motorcycle engine. The top of the fairing includes a lip which directs air upwardly and over the head of the motorcycle rider. The motorcycle fairing is attached to the handlebars with brackets. The fairing further includes a gasket which extends along the edge of the fairing and engages the front fork and lights of the motorcycle.
