Abstract
A windbreaker for a motorcycle prevents airflow between the front wheel assembly and the fairing connected to the handlebars, by flexibly connecting to the handlebars and the crash bars. An indentation allows airflow to cool the engine. Releasable connectors allow proper turning of the front wheel, even if mis-mounted.
