It teach you how to install a fairing for your motorcycle. Also can help you better understand the fairings.

1. Motorcycle fairings are an aftermarket add-on that motorcycle enthusiasts can install on their
bikes. The process for installing fairings on your motorcycle can be very difficult or very easy,
depending on the type of motorcycle that you own. Your familiarity with installing custom parts
on your motorcycle and the availability of the fairings are all factors to consider when installing
the part to your motorcycle.
Motorcycle fairings vary in cost, based on the motorcycle which they were designed for and the
type of fitting that you purchased. For example, fairings that are head and front shield guards
can sell for several hundred of dollars, depending on whether the fairing was custom designed
for your machine or purchased directly from the manufacturer of your machine.
This how-to article will discuss the general installation process for your motorcycle fairings.
Without specific knowledge concerning the type of motorcycle that you own or the level of expertise
that you have with installing these parts, it can only provide very general and non-specific
installation information.
Step 1: Purchase a Custom Aftermarket Motorcycle Fairing Kit
The first step in the process of installing motorcycle fairings on your motorcycle is ordering
or purchasing them. You can either go online or order custom built fairings. The fairings can
cover the front, sides and exhaust pipe to your motorcycle in order to give it a more streamlined
look. The best place to go to find fairings for your motorcycle is to the manufacturer or obtain
the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) number for the type of fairings that you are looking
to install on your bike.
Step 2: Determine Where the Fairings Need to Be Connected
For OEM fairings that you order directly from the manufacturer of your motorcycle you should be
able to easily match the fittings necessary to attach the fairings to your bike. For fairings
that are not direct from the manufacturer or that have been custom made they will need to be matched
up with the fittings for attachment to your motorcycle. You need to make sure to identify where
and how to attach the fairing before proceeding with the installation process.
Step 3: Installing the Fairing to Your Motorcycle
Once you have located the place where the fairing is attached to the motorcycle, take a ratchet
and/or screwdriver and set the fasteners in place. Make sure the fairing is secured properly to
your bike as you tighten the fastener. Once you have completed the process of tightening the
fastener you should be ready to take your motorcycle out for a ride so that you can show off your
new custom design look.
If you have problems installing a custom built, non-factory made fairing (i.e. aftermarket
purchase) you should immediately contact the designer of the fairing in order to correct the
problem affecting the fitting of the fairing to your motorcycle.
