ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for channelling air through openings in a motorcycle fairing. The air channelling apparatus includes an air scoop having an inlet opening for communication with an interior of the air scoop and a mounting mechanism for securing the air scoop adjacent to the openings in the fairing. The mounting mechanism permits both rotation of the air scoop and limited movement of the air scoop away from the fairing. With the inlet opening facing forwardly, ambient air is channelled by the air scoop through the openings in the fairing and into an air space behind the fairing. The ambient air is then selectively directed through an outlet of the air space toward the rider. With the inlet opening of the air scoop facing rearwardly, a portion of the air heated from the engine components flow through the air space toward the openings in the fairing, while a remaining portion flows toward the outlet which directs the heated air toward the rider.
