  • Publication number: 20100301627
    Abstract: A fairing upper moves with a steering assembly pivotably connected to the frame of a motorcycle. An engine guard is connected to the motorcycle frame, and a fairing lower is connected to the engine guard. A deflector is positioned adjacent to the fairing lower. The deflector includes a hinge, so the deflector has a closed hinge position and an open hinge position. A spring urges the deflector toward the closed hinge position. The spring is tensioned such that when the motorcycle reaches an open speed, wind resistance overcomes the spring tension and moves the deflector from the closed hinge position to the open hinge position.
