  • Patent number: 4479663
    Abstract: A mounting for a motorcycle fairing, which mounting permits both translational and angular orientation of the fairing relative to the motorcycle. A pair of flat elongate links at the lower forward portion of the fairing, each having a longitudinal slot, are spaced and joined pivotally at one end to the inside of the fairing. The links are crossed over each other and a bolt extends laterally through the opening formed at the intersection of the slots and is secured to the vehicle headlight on each side thereof. A pair of rods are secured at an upper portion of the fairing and extend downwardly and rearwardly therefrom with each end mating with a clamp on the motorcycle handlebars. The length and orientation of the rods between the clamps and the fairing is adjustable so as to accommodate fore-and-aft and angular movement of the fairing, which movement is made possible by the arrangement of the forward mounting links.
