sports style fairing

[spicer98]

hey
I want to put a windshield on my bike, i have been looking around and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of things that i like,
i was kind of thinking of trying a sports style fairing, that goes all the way round the headlight
was wondering if anybody had seen this done and what it looked like as i don't fancy just making it look rubbish!

this is the kind of thing i was thinking of
any input greatfully recived

Personally I think THAT would make it look "rubbish" but that's JMO.

Have you looked at the Yamaha wind deflector that mounts above the speedo?

Personally, I like to sit up and take it like a man, but that's just me...

lol

The look w/o a windshield/ fairing looks great but for me it is not practical. I do a lot of riding that involves covering 500+ miles in a day and would rather not have wind beating on me at 80 mph for tankful after tankful. It would be too tiring. An added plus is that it shields you from bugs (somewhat anyways) or the occasional bug swarms that you run into.
That looks good to me spicer98,I like the way that it sits flush with the face of the headlight/ Who makes that one? Fatmax makes one similar but the fairing doesn't sit flush with the headlight and looks like it needs a cover or something.

I almost put a Pichler on my XS11 but I took it in a different direction. They make both sport and touring type fairings. I've seen these on bikes before and they look great. JP on the XS owners forum has one on his bike, the last time I've seen it.

Here is an old Uni-4, universal top that they used to sell. You could have also purchaced the lower unit for it as well. Pop on some bags in the back and there ya go.

Rifle makes several fairings that fit the Max with various size shields available for each one. I have had two of the Superbike style, one on a Max and it works great. The Sport version is larger and more touring styled. Has integrated turnsignals and a place for a radio and speakers. Also a smaller one called Nightflight. I am looking for another used Superbike since I need to have it painted anyway. They will match stock colors for an additional fee. Don't think they can match my color though. :biglaugh:

I had the Nightflight on my 84' Honda Sabre 700. Not much wind protection but added a little something (style?) to that bike.
Here is a link to the Rifle Fairing offerings.

I found it some years ago, while on vacation in Paris, France. They told me the guy who made it was local. He wasn't making them anymore and I probably have the last one. It did catch my eye right away. I had to have it. Mike

 

[spicer98]

i have to agree that one if v nice, exactly the look i way wanting shame that there not around!
i will check out fat max as well
cheers for the thoughts guys

 

[satariel666]

Ok, anyone will tell me who made those fairings?

 

[Diablotin]

I already saw similar parts but never the lid neither the scoop.
I wonder if they're not custom made.

 

[gamorg02]

those scoops look functional..

That looks like the mantis fairing. Get a hold of Steve Taylor of Taylormade wheels. He can help you out with it. He has a shorter verson too called the venom fairing. They run around the ?200.00 range.
