Breakaway handlebar-mounted motorcycle fairing

Abstract

This invention relates to a breakaway handlebar-mounted motorcycle fairing characterized by a generally pear-shaped concavo/convex plastic windscreen having inturned integrally-formed ears on both side margins and a cutout along its lower edge which receive the impact-responsive quick-disconnect couplings of the upper and lower mounting hardware. The upper mountings have their rear ends detachably connected into the hollow ends of the handlebars while their front ends terminate in ball-and-socket type quick-disconnect couplings at the ears. The upper mountings adjust angularly, lengthwise and accommodate different tilts of the windscreen. The lower mounting fastens to the sides of the cutout in the lower edge of the windscreen by means of a pair of adjustable connectors which support a transverse rod therebetween that is, in turn, detachably connected within a keyway-shaped slot in the front face of a banded connector fastened to the shock absorber or fork of the motorcycle.
