The main purpose of a head fairing is to protect the driver from wind and weather and to improve aerodynamics. They are mounted on the handlebars or directly above the headlights and direct the airflow away from the driver's upper body, which is particularly pleasant at higher speeds.
Fairings are often made of lightweight materials such as plastic or fibreglass and can be customised in a variety of designs and colours. They offer additional comfort for touring and sports bikes by reducing air pressure and making the ride less tiring.
In addition to their functional benefits, fairings also give the motorcycle a sporty look and contribute to its overall appearance.
