Abstract
A motorcycle fairing includes a fairing body having a mounting surface for mounting an audio speaker. The fairing body defines an internal space for accommodating a portion of the speaker. The fairing includes an external wall portion. An internal wall is configured, along with the external wall portion, to seal the internal space. An upper portion defines an inboard portion and an outboard portion. An upper surface of the inboard portion is positioned below an upper surface of the outboard portion. An edge is defined by the upper surface of the outboard portion. The upper surface slopes downward on each side of the edge. The edge extends in an inboard-to-outboard direction in a forward-to-rearward direction. In some configurations, the inboard portion defines an airfoil shape.
Claims10
A motorcycle fairing, comprising:
- a fairing body having a mounting surface for mounting an audio speaker, the fairing body defining an internal space for accommodating a portion of the speaker;
- an external wall portion;
- an internal wall configured, along with the external wall portion, to seal the internal space;
- and
- a mounting groove formed by an indent in a vertical portion of a front surface of the external wall portion of the fairing body, wherein the mounting groove defines a centerline configured to coincide with a centerline of a motorcycle crash bar received within the mounting groove such that a portion of the external wall portion defining the mounting groove extends both above and below the motorcycle crash bar.
A motorcycle fairing, comprising:
- a fairing body having an inboard portion and an outboard portion, wherein the inboard portion is located closer to a centerline of a motorcycle to which the fairing is mounted in use than the outboard portion, wherein the fairing body comprises an upper portion that defines an inboard upper portion and an outboard upper portion, wherein an upper surface of the inboard upper portion is positioned below an upper surface of the outboard upper portion;
- a mounting groove on a front surface of the fairing body configured to receive a motorcycle crash bar received within the mounting groove, the mounting groove having a centerline, wherein the upper portion is located above the centerline of the mounting groove;
- wherein a lower surface and the upper surface of the inboard upper portion cooperate to define an airfoil shape.
