Art of Customizing Motorcycle Fairings: Ninja and Harley Editions

Motorcycle customization has become an art form, allowing riders to express their individuality and create unique two-wheeled masterpieces. Among the various aspects of customization, the customization of motorcycle fairings holds a special place. Fairings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a motorcycle but also provide functional benefits such as improved aerodynamics and protection. In this blog, we delve into the art of customizing motorcycle fairings, with a focus on two iconic models: the Ninja and Harley editions.

I. Understanding Motorcycle Fairings

Definition and Purpose:

Motorcycle fairings refer to the outer covering panels that enclose the frame & engine components of a motorcycle.

They serve multiple purposes, including improving aerodynamics, reducing wind resistance, & protecting the rider from debris and weather elements.

Types of Motorcycle Fairings:

Full Fairings: These cover the entire front end of the motorcycle, including the handlebars, windscreen, and lower bodywork.

Half Fairings: These cover the upper portion of the motorcycle, leaving the engine and handlebars exposed.

Quarter Fairings: These cover only a small portion of the motorcycle, typically protecting the handlebars and windscreen.

II. Customization of Ninja Fairings:

Choosing the Right Design:

Customizing Ninja fairings involves selecting a design that aligns with the rider's personality and preferences.

Popular options include vibrant graphics, unique color schemes, and decals inspired by racing or personal themes.

Material Selection:

Fairings can be made from various materials, such as ABS plastic, fiberglass, or carbon fiber.

Each material offers different properties in terms of weight, durability, and cost, allowing riders to tailor their fairings to their specific needs.

Professional Painting Techniques:

Achieving a flawless finish requires professional painting techniques, including proper surface preparation, priming, and color application.

Experienced painters can create stunning effects such as fades, metallic finishes, and intricate airbrushed designs.

III. Customization of Harley Fairings:

Embracing the Heritage:

Harley fairings often reflect the rich heritage and timeless style associated with the brand.

Customization options range from classic Harley designs to more contemporary themes, allowing riders to showcase their individuality while honoring the brand's legacy.

Incorporating Accessories:

Custom Harley fairings can be enhanced with various accessories, such as windshields, auxiliary lights, or additional storage compartments.

These additions not only improve functionality but also provide an opportunity to further personalize the motorcycle's appearance.

Handcrafted Leather Accents:

Many Harley enthusiasts opt for handcrafted leather accents on their fairings, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication.

Intricate tooling, embossing, or personalized insignias can be incorporated, creating a unique and visually captivating look.

The art of customizing motorcycle fairings allows riders to transform their motorcycles into personalized works of art. Whether it's the sleek and sporty Ninja fairings or the timeless style of Harley fairings, customization offers endless possibilities to reflect individuality and showcase creativity. By carefully selecting designs, materials, and accessories, riders can achieve stunning results that enhance both the aesthetics & functionality of their motorcycles. The artistry of motorcycle fairing customization continues to captivate riders and enthusiasts alike, serving as a testament to the passion and dedication within the motorcycle community.

Bike or Rider: Brno 2014 // Phillip Island 2018

Brno 2014:

0:00

Q: When in the past you were winning so many races with Honda, everybody was saying, was because of the bike. Now with Marquez, it’s not like this. What do you think about this? And also Honda won today.

Rossi: Yeah, I’m [...] thinking to this situation that this is the bigger difference between my period and the Marc period. When I won, in 2001, 2002, 2003 with Honda, not everybody - but a lot of people, especially the journalists - say that I won because I had the best bike. Now with Marc, racing with Honda, he won a lot of races, but because he do the difference. I don’t know why have this difference between me and him, for me it’s difficult to understand. Maybe the rivals, because, sincerely, we are better rivals than what I had. Because more or less we never complain about - a lot - about the bike, when in the past I beat especially Biaggi, he always complained that I beat him because I have the best bike... It was funny. But at the end, I change bike and I won also with Yamaha, but after I won because I don’t have rivals, so… It’s never ending. But I think that Honda is very strong, but you cannot say nothing to Marc, because he won ten races, so for sure at this moment, he is the fastest rider.

Phillip Island 2018:

1:52

Q: Yes, a question for Vale - Vale, what do you think is the limit of Marc Marquez, and if you think that maybe some day he will change to try the bike to be better, if it’s possible, better rider, more layered… During the past, when change Honda for -

Rossi: Ah, change the team?

Q: Yes, Honda for Yamaha.

Rossi: Oh the limit… Difficult to say, sincerely I don’t know. About the future for change the bike, it’s something very personal. He don’t have to change the bike, so, he have to feel. If he feel good with the team, with the Honda, he can make also all the career with the Honda. Depends very much, it’s a very personal choice, what you feel, what you find, for find the motivation for race. But I think that everybody have his own way.

"I Like Your Bike"

Biker!Simon "Ghost" Riley x Fem Reader

Summary: On your way back to the hotel with friends, a shiny black motorcycle that belongs to a mysterious serviceman catches your attention.

Word Count: 1,289 Cw | Mentions of alcohol and intoxication

A/N: The character is implied to be black, but you can imagine them however you like !

Drunken laughter mingled with the sounds of other chatter on the bustling street as you walked with your 2 girlfriends and talked with each other, recapping your first day in Manchester, England, and the first out of many stops on the two-month-long trip in Europe. Your heels had become uncomfortable long ago, making you ever so grateful that you had been smart enough to think to bring a pair of flats along as you indulged in Manchester’s nightlife. The group had barhopped and chatted with strangers all night, getting the full Manchester experience as everyone explored the city and took in the views.

As the group neared their hotel, something shiny appeared in the corner of your eye, causing you to slow down your walking speed, the swinging heels in your hand slowing down as your strides did. Your brown eyes narrowed slightly as you tried to make out what the thing was, struggling due to the fact that it was night and you were nearsighted. As you tapped your friend’s shoulder and began to walk toward the unknown object, your eyes adjusted slightly, realizing it was a motorcycle, one of the nice, slick, black ones.

You mindlessly began to run your hand along the smooth and shiny exterior of the motorcycle until a voice popped you out of the trance.

“Mate, you can’t just touch random people's bikes,” 

When you looked up, you were met with a brick wall in the form of a man. He stood around 6’3 and was obviously jacked based on the way his compression shirt hugged his pectoral muscles and biceps. His bright hazel eyes practically had you hooked already, was it the alcohol, or were they that pretty? No one knows, but you did know that this guy was HOT.

“Uhhh, I um,” you giggled and tucked a piece of hair behind your ear before remembering that 

You are NOT Debby Ryan and you are NOT on Radio Rebel

You forgot to lay the lace down again by your ear when you installed your wig earlier

The man cocked an eyebrow as he looked down at you, the action slightly concealed by the black balaclava he wore that had a skull print on it, an interesting choice considering the heat.

“Are you not hot in that mask?”

“Did you not notice your friends aren’t here anymore?” he replied with a teasing tone. 

When you turn around, you see that your friends have indeed left you with the mysterious man and continued on to their hotel.

“Lass, I think you need some better friends,” he let out a quick chuckle, like…the personification of haha.

“Your laugh is funny,” you giggle as you lean in closer to him, looking at the metal tags that hang around his neck. 

“Simon Riley,” you read his name slowly as you looked up, tilting your head to the side slightly, wondering if it was actually his name or if he was wearing a deceased relative's dog tags. He nodded as he looked back down at the smaller woman. They sat in silence for several awkward moments before you decided to break the silence.

“I like your bike,”

“Thanks,” annnnd it was back to silence again

“You don’t talk much,”

“Not much to talk about with a random drunk lass I’ve met,”

“Fair point…What kind of bike is that?” that question was all you needed to get Simon’s attention.

That one question led to a whole conversation as he explained the ins and outs of his bike which was apparently a Yamaha R1 but other than that, he was fluent in yapping. The only thing you were focused on was his deep voice, thick British accent, and the way his compression shirt hugged all the right places on his torso. It seemed he didn’t even notice that you were looking at him with hearts in your eyes, mainly due to the fact that you had drunk way too much earlier. 

“Wanna go for a ride?” he asked you as he leaned against his bike.

The first thing that ran through your mind was “What kind of ride”.

“Huh?”

“I asked do you want to ride my motorcycle with me, like, do you want to be my backpack?” he asked again, giving his signature, stereotypical haha laugh.

“Oh uhh sure! I mean um that sounds like fun or whatever,” when you caught yourself seeming too eager, you changed up the way you phrased your sentence quickly.

When he turned around to give you a jacket and a helmet, he patted his pockets like he always does when he’s missing something before groaning from annoyance and pinching the bridge of his nose with his gloved hand.

“Well, I unfortunately don’t have an extra jacket or helmet on me right now so it seems we won’t be doing any riding today, but we could always do it another time I guess, dunno,” he mumbled the last part, “How long will you be here in Manchester?” he inquired, wondering how much time he would have before you would leave the city and the country

“I think we’re going to be here for at least another week,” you shrug as you see him frantically pull out his phone, almost dropping it once before he hands it to you, the contact screen open. Once you two exchange numbers, silence falls upon the two of you again.

“I could walk you back to your hotel if you would like, I don’t like the idea of you walking alone at night, especially as a tourist. Plus my mom would kill me if she found out I didn’t offer,” he laughs as he holds out his arm towards you.

“That would be nice,” you smile as you hook your arm in his, your brown skin contrasting with his pale one. He quickly unhooks his arm to place his leather jacket over your shoulders before linking arms again and heading on your way to the hotel. During the walk back, the two of you got to know each other, learning about interests and current status in life along with cracking jokes and just breaking the ice. It was about a 15-minute walk back to the hotel and once the two of you got back, you sighed, a little sad that your time together was already over for the day.

“We’re here. Thank you for walking me back to my hotel again, it was really sweet of you to do this because you really didn’t have to,”

“Of course, what kind of man would I be if I didn’t offer?” he snapped a flower from a nearby plant and handed it to you, “a pretty flower for the pretty lass,” he winked as you took it.

“Ugh, you Brits are such charmers, I’m quite sad to say that it worked too,” you both laughed for a few moments as he unlinked your arms.

“You free tomorrow at 19:00?”

“I’m so glad I understand military time, and yes I am,”

“Alright lass, I’ll be here in the lobby then, make sure you’re on time,” he gently takes your hand in his gloved one and kisses it through his balaclava. He gives one more wink before he turns on the heels of his combat boots and strides confidently out of the hotel. You stood there, absolutely shocked at what occurred before you realized you still had on his leather jacket. You ran outside to find him and tell him he had forgotten his jacket, but by that time, he had already disappeared into the cool Summer night. At least that meant you were guaranteed to see him tomorrow because there was no way he would just forget the nice leather jacket.

Yamaha XS650 "Hell Kitty" by An-Bu Custom Motors

[batsplat]

can we have a conversation about how much ktm is in shambles? cause i’m hearing they’re having so many problems financially and apparently even technically. it seems like they got stuck from the start of the season and they are just not progressing. i get that the last few circuits weren’t stop and go circuits that ktm prefers but the performances were really worrying. now, no offense to binder but he clearly has no backbone, but pedro already scolded them this weekend because they are not working the way they should, is there a chance they finally decide to take a risk and develop a project around him? because i feel like that’s what they need to do, a bit like yamaha or honda did for vale and marc. also i’ve thought about the fact that a lot of ktm engineers are leaving ktm for honda, if honda is actually working on a good project for 2027, is there a chance that perhaps a rider like pedro could get them out of the hole they got stuck into? cause i think that would be very interesting to see. of course only if he decides to leave ktm which i hope he doesn’t cause i’d like to see him become the first motogp wdc winner with a ktm. also i can’t really see where else he could go if one day he decides he’s unsatisfied with ktm

love asks that clearly come from the heart. I've been holding off on being too mean about ktm because in a way I do want to save it for after the NEXT race. we're in austria now!! ktm's home race! which they've actually been remarkably successful at, given they're the only non-ducati manufacturer to ever win in the modern iteration of this race in the premier class - first in that quirky last corner shoot-out courtesy of oliveira in 2020 and then in that bizarre slicks in the wet performance by binder in 2021. which, okay, unusual races and all that, but it's a track they should be doing well at!! binder got two second places here last year. if they flop here, then the alarm bells will really be ringing

I guess we can get into an argument about what 'flopping' would even look like. it's entirely plausible that, hm, the first 4-5 slots at minimum are locked out by ducati again - honestly, at the minute another ducati podium lock out feels like the expected scenario. I have heard there's a decent possibility of rain on sunday, but by this point of the year I've been promised rain quite a few times so I'll believe it when I see it. if it rains, sure, anything's possible. a positive result for ktm right now would probably be... a podium, right, which in itself is pretty damning - how are ktm still this bad at actually winning races? last year, binder got a podium at silverstone, which isn't a massively ktm-friendly track. this year, they didn't get even remotely close to that. the ktm defence argument goes 'well, look at what everyone else is doing'. silverstone is a very aprilia-friendly track and they had a pretty disastrous weekend themselves this year. the less said about the japanese manufacturers, the better. but... well, ktm was kinda supposed to take it to ducati this year. they finished last year on a very promising note, with what really should have been a 1-2 at valencia. (the fact that they didn't convert on that maybe should've gotten some alarm bells ringing about the ultimate potential of that rider line-up, but let's not get into that.) after binder's performance at qatar, ktm surely should have been determined to be in the title hunt. they are extremely not in the title hunt

the thing is, anon, ktm does know that pedro is their title winner. the idea of 'developing a project' around him is tricky - because to the extent that ktm is capable of that, they will do it!! they're not going to develop the bike in a direction that suits binder over him, for instance, or completely disregard his feedback or any of that. manufacturers can struggle with being reactive enough to rider concerns... my sense is that ktm likes to throw a lot of stuff at problems, it likes to flex its muscles and use a lot of data and come up with big update packages and all of that - and for all the progress they've made in their bike development, clearly all is not yet well on the in-season development front. (cf the whole chattering thing that ducati has gotten a handle on and ktm hasn't.) manufacturers do sometimes have a tendency to believe they know best and not listen enough to their riders, especially when there's a disconnect between the riders and 'the factory' that's actually designing the bikes. yamaha is an interesting example of that at the minute, where a lot of their current problems are so long-running that you can find their roots in stuff jorge and valentino were complaining about YEARS and years back. they've become a lot more reactive in recent years and did do a lot to tackle fabio's complaints about the bike's top speed... but by that point, they were in such a hole that just 'fixing the top speed' really wasn't enough to actually make a competitive bike. still, part of the reason why fabio's decided to stick with that project is he feels like yamaha is finally listening to him - and if they'd lost him, they'd really be fucked, so that has to count as at least a little bit of a W

in terms of the valentino and marc comparisons, they are just about different enough that it'll only take you so far. with valentino, the simple truth is that nobody today could do what he did for the yamaha project in 2004. he couldn't do that nowadays; it just isn't possible for a rider and his team to make that sort of instant impact anymore. motogp is so different now, with all the aero and devices and all the other stuff casey hates. the balance of power, if you will, has shifted pretty decisively from riders to engineers. also, valentino by that point was a fair bit more experienced and a lot of the credit has to go to his even more experienced team for what they were able to do with yamaha's carte blanche. a rookie, however gifted, just won't be able to provide quite the same level of direction. with marc... well, the honda was fantastic when he showed up! best bike on the grid! it's not exactly an analogous situation to pedro in that what honda needed to do was 'keep being good'. they did listen to marc's feedback and it did bag them enough titles to make it worth their while, but it also did not send their bike down a particularly happy development route for anyone else riding that thing - which ultimately as a manufacturer is not a situation you should want. honda was already losing the development arms race to ducati in the late 2010s, but giving marc a fast if capricious bike and relying on his natural talent to ride around the issues managed to disguise the problems for a while... or at least make them hurt less. all in all, I'm not really convinced 2010s honda is a model anyone should be particularly interested in copying

what ktm should do is listen to pedro, obviously. I assume they're already treating him as their championship contender elect, but if they're not then, yes, they'd be idiots. and given how long it took for them to actually confirm his place in motogp last year, I am open to the possibility that ktm are being idiots here. whether there's a workable system in place to actually make use of that feedback and continue to progress is more open for debate, and that's kinda what pedro went to the factory to check in on. pedro today was talking up a "big, big step" in the coming few races, in part due to the impact of their two test riders and the more ktm-friendly circuits to come, so it'll be interesting to see if it lives up to that. beyond that, who knows? ktm does have money and resources and a track record of success outside of motogp to give it faith, but of course this year has been a disappointment. (quick note: I have seen the stuff about ktm being in trouble financially and obviously that would massively change all of this, but at this stage it's quite hard to judge how seriously to take that - so the rest of this ask will assume that ktm will continue having a lot of money at its disposal. if they don't, my analysis is that they're probably fucked.) the first bit of the season made everyone doubt whether the bike was actually better than thought and the riders were simply not taking advantage of it - which a few signs last year like 'surely dani shouldn't be this competitive' and the whole valencia thing already pointed to. now, it's definitely less competitive than last year and even their superstar rookie can't do all that much with it, so that's not great. they do have a little time to play with here, but not that much. pedro's signed for 2025-26, but if ktm doesn't start next season more competitive, it won't take long for him to start looking around. and even though you can't do valentino 2004 things in quite the same way anymore, this is clearly going to be a project that needs an alien-level talent to actually get it over the line. they've kinda managed to fail upwards into a very strong set of riders next year and they should be able to extract a lot of them for bike development purposes, but also their rider management has traditionally been godawful so it remains to be seen how that'll work out

that being said, pedro will be fine! I mean, idk if he'll be ktm's first premier class world champion. if I had to put money on it, I'd say it's pretty likely, yeah? but the 'where would he go' thing isn't really a big concern. all the big names have kinda hunkered down (as have the teams who signed them) with two year contracts that take us very neatly to the next rule cycle kicking in, which everyone expects will majorly shake things up. while this whole japanese manufacturer situation is massively annoying, I would be shocked if at least one of them aren't regular race winners again in 2027, and hopefully will already be so before that. most manufacturers except maybe honda have at least one star rider they're intending to be a title contender in 2027, and ducati has two. they probably won't all stay in the same place (even if they all remain reasonably healthy in that time) and there's bound to be at least one manufacturer hunting for a big name. pecco will be in his late prime and possibly grey-haired, god knows what state marc will be in *taps wood*, we have no idea how the whole jorge aprilia situation will work out. maybe yamaha will be so competitive again that they actually decide they want TWO riders fighting it out for a championship and we get a proper throwback in blue to the good old garage cold war days - which is where my imagination sadly fails me because I can't picture fabio putting up a wall or yamaha not sucking. maybe, like you say, pedro is just what honda needs to... well, honestly I don't think he could get them out of this hole - but perhaps in a couple years time when honda is looking healthier again, he's the kind of rider that could make it a title winner again. it'll be a new world! if pedro is as good as we all think he is, then obviously any manufacturer would be thrilled to get their hands on him, not least to deprive the competition of having him. how old will he be in 2026? about nine years old, I think? if I had to guess, I do kinda see him being a title contender around 2026-ish, because I just can't quite picture ktm making the necessary leap by next year so 2026 feels like a good way of hedging my bets and trusting his sickening levels of natural talent to make up the bike difference. one of my big remaining doubts is... well, it's actually been quite a while since a new manufacturer has won a rider's title. the last time was ducati way back in 2007 when they nailed the new regulations cycle and also kinda lucked into signing the casey stoner, but ducati had already been regular race winners for quite a few years before that. capirossi was third in the championship in 2006. I suppose aprilia got vaguely close in 2022, but that was a chaos season we don't have much reason to expect to see a repeat of any time soon, and in the end they also didn't get that close. ktm really needs to be getting into race winning form soon if they want to be thinking about titles. it's ridiculous that it's been over three years since their last win in the dry, and nearly two since their last win full stop. if I were them, I would maybe consider winning some races, instead of continuing to lose them idk. let's see how they do on sunday, eh

Vale watched Uccio open the door, Pecco sitting on the table, homework halfheartedly completed.

"Luca is looking for you, Peccolino." Uccio says, drumming his fingers against the iPad in his hands. Pecco looks to his dad who sits with his shoulders curled in slightly. Vale nods at his son, silently urging his to go spend sometime outside without him. His fallout with Marc had affect his son and his heart hurt at that. Vale's stupidity ruined not only his relationship with Marc, the man he loves but caused his son to loose another parent. Vale dropped his head into his hands as Pecco gave him a hug, kissing his cheek before giving Uccio a quick hug.

Luca leaned against the Yamaha motorhome, busy tapping away at his phone. As soon as he saw his nephew, he turned his attention to the boy, a smile growing on his face. Luca ruffled his hair, much to Pecco's annoyance and the pair began to walk to where the moto2 riders were gathered. A few photographer followed the pair until they entered moto2 paddock. The young riders greeted Pecco with enthusiasm as he searched for his other uncle.

Alex nodded his head towards Luca in greeting, "Hey Osito, you want to go see Marc or are you hanging out with us today cool guy?" Pecco felt a flush of pride seeing the rest of the grid perk up at the idea of him spending the day with them. It was cool enough that both his uncles didn't think of him as a tiny baby anymore, but the whole moto2 grid? He felt like the coolest eight year old in the world. He beamed at Alex, nodding. "I want to go see Marc first but I'm spending time in the paddock with you guys today." Alex fist bumped Luca and slung an arm around Pecco's shoulders, taking him to Marc's motorhome.

He knocked on the door, poking his head in to see Marc sitting on a chair, his leathers handing off his hips. His face softened when he saw Pecco walk in, but there was a sadness in his eyes. "Hey mi Cariño. Shouldn't you be with your dad?" he said softly, standing up to kiss Pecco on his forehead. Pecco wrapped his arms around Marc's waist, face pressed into his chest. "I wanted to see you, papa. You don't come home anymore and I miss you " Marc hugged him back before pulling away, hands resting on his shoulders.

Marc looked up, swallowing the lump in his throat. "I'm not coming back to the ranch-" Pecco froze, looking up at Marc. "-and you shouldn't be coming to my motorhome anymore Francesco." Tears bubbled up Pecco, he no longer felt confident, the buzz the moto2 boys gave him fading. He pulled away from Marc, "what?" Marc coughed trying to stop himself from crying. "Valentino and I are nothing but rivals on the grid and I can't have a rivals son in my motorhome. They already believe I have stolen his telemetry data. With you here it looks unfair for the other riders. People will talk and call you a spy. You might even be banned from attending races, not just mine and your dad's but Luca and Alex's too."

Pecco shook with anger, "but you didn't steal anything. You're not just rivals, you're my dads! You're both my dads." Marc could feel his heart ripping in two. He wanted to bundle his boy in his arms and shield him from the harsh reality. "I'm not your dad Francesco." Pecco began to cry, snot running out of his nose. "You're my dad. Why can't I come and see you. I don't care about the media or the F.I.A." Marc stepped forward, trying to wipe Pecco's tears. But the boy swatted him hand away. "No! This is not fair." He angrily wiped his face, snot on his sleeve. He ran to the door, opening it and running out but he paused before closing it. Pecco turned to Marc, "I know I'm not your son. I know that, but you're my dad, I thought you were." He slammed the door or the motorhome shut and Marc collapsed on the floor in a pile, unable to stop the tears.

Alex ran behind Pecco pulling him into small niche between buildings. He planned to shake the boys shoulders and remind him about all the eyes watching but paused when he saw his blotchy face. Alex pulled him into a hug, and let him cry into his chest. They stood there for a while, Alex shooting a quick text to Luca about the situation.

The rest of the day was spent was spend with Pecco attached to a moto2 rider, leaning against them with his face hidden. A few journalists had picked up on the boy's mood change, but thankfully left him alone. Dani came along later in the day, scooping a sleeping Pecco up and carried him back to his dad's motorhome where both father and son napped, tear treks visible on their faces.
