ABSTRACT:
A fairing of a sturdy structure designed to give a maximum of driving safety without impairing the steerability of the vehicle. The yoke structure to which a windshield is secured is comprised of a central rod and a pair of side rods secured to the front end thereof and includes a forwardly open U-shaped top formation within which an instrument panel is positioned, enabling the rider to observe the instruments without lowering the direction of his sight to any substantial extent. A light shield is arranged to prevent any reflection glare otherwise occurring on the inside surface of the windscreen when the instruments are illuminated during drive at night. The yoke structure is designed to be detachably connected with the body frame of the motorcycle at three locations thereon by simple fastening means. The windshield not only protects the rider from wind, rain and dust but is adapted to serve a number of additional functions. Namely, a pair of side reflectors are mounted outside the opposite side portions of the windshield and a pair of luggage boxes are detachably secured to the side shield portions on the inside thereof and, when removed, leave ample space for maintenance operation. The U-shaped top yoke formation serves also as frame means for protecting the instrument panel even if the motorcycle is accidentally turned sideways.
