Would you consider the bracket that holds the headlights "fairing" on a motorcycle?

Posted by Government Auto Auctions on Friday, February 12, 2010 · 3 Comments 

I won an auction and it said it was motorcycle headlight and assembly. In the picture was the headlights and the bracket that holds the headlights. The person stated does not include "fairing" To me fairing on a motorcycle is the plastic pieces, not the bracket that holds the headlights. Am I right? I feel like I was ripped off!!!

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

I would also feel ripped off. The part that holds the Headlight is normally called a "Cradle" and is not part of the fairing in any way. By stating Headlight and Assembly, the seller has commited to selling this part.

The Cradle does double as a Mirror and Fairing mount on many motorcycles though.

If you purchased a full fairing from a motorcycle shop, you would not get the cradle with it.

Hope this helps and good luck.

    i’m a bit confused…it stated does not include fairing…and you are upset because you did not receive a fairing?

    Maybe i just need a bit more information, but yes the fairing is the plastic piece not the bracket.

    The `bracket` is just that. It hold the headlight and assembly is the complete headlight put together so will not include the holding bracket
