Abstract
A motorcycle fairing is disclosed herein which comprises a one-piece, formed or molded sheet of plastic, such as acrylic or fiberglass, 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 leg portions include panels pivotally attached thereto and positionable to direct air onto the engine or the rider in warm weather and to seal off the air in cooler weather. The motorcycle fairing is attached to the handlebars with brackets, and also with a gasket which extends along the inside edge of the fairing and engages the front fork and lights of the motorcycle. The gasket aids in securing the fairing to the motorcycle, absorbing vibrations due to the road and motorcycle, and permits the fairing to fit different size motorcycles.
