What to Do When Your Fairings Take the Hit
What to Do When Your Fairings Take the Hit by KingsMotorcycleFairings.com
First and foremost—we hope you're okay. Whether it was a minor low-side or something more serious, walking away from a crash is what matters most. Bikes can be rebuilt. Riders can't.
Once the dust settles and you’ve taken care of yourself, it’s time to assess the damage to your machine. One of the first things to take a hit in any crash? Your fairings. Cracked panels, deep gouges, broken tabs—it’s more than just cosmetic. Here’s what to do next if your fairings bore the brunt of the fall.
1. Inspect the Damage (Thoroughly)
At first glance, it might seem like surface scratches. But fairing damage often runs deeper than the eye catches. Look for:
-
Cracked mounting points
-
Stress fractures (especially around bolt holes)
-
Warping or alignment issues
-
Missing clips or internal brackets
Tip: Minor cracks today can lead to full panel separation at high speeds tomorrow.
2. Don’t Ignore “Just Cosmetic” Damage
We hear it all the time: “It still rides fine.” Maybe so. But your fairings do more than make your bike look good. They protect vital components, manage airflow, and can even impact rider safety at high speeds. Plus, let’s be honest—no one wants to pull up with road rash all over their bodywork.
3. Know When It’s Time to Replace
Sometimes, a patch job with zip ties and epoxy just won’t cut it. If your fairings:
-
Won’t mount flush
-
Rattle or flap at speed
-
Have compromised structure or airflow channels
—it’s time to swap them out.
