DescriptionThe whole story▼

Adding the half fairing turned the FZ8 into a bike people actually took on longer trips. A fairing raises the speed at which everything feels comfortable, and that includes the speed you find yourself braking from.

Key Features

  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • Folding blade that swings clear instead of snapping off
  • Engineered break point inside the two-finger zone
  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Construction

Machined from one piece of aluminium, anodised black, pivot bore phosphated in its own operation. Arrives tight and is treated to stay so on a bike that gets ridden in weather the naked version's owner would avoid.

Higher Cruising, Harder Braking

The wind protection does not make the bike faster, it makes the speed easier to sustain. The brake then does more work per application, and whether that is comfortable depends on where the fingers start from.

Two Sets of Gloves

A bike used for distance sees summer and winter gloves within the same month, and the difference at the fingertip is several millimetres. The wheel turns by hand at a fuel stop and holds without a lock nut.

Road Approval

Approved for German public roads under ABE No. KBA 91203. No entry in the vehicle documents and no separate inspection are needed. Download the certificate above and keep a printed copy on the bike.

Scope of Delivery

Supplied as a single brake lever in black, ready to fit. The original pivot hardware is reused, so nothing is discarded and the standard lever can go back on at any time.
