Dual headlight fairing looks cool, but shows rather little fucntionality
We strongly believe in Shape and Function. When it comes to aftermarket and tuning a motorcycle, sometimes shape and aesthetics are the priority, but function is never left behind. Now, we're not talking about 3-feet apehangers here, they are simply making us laugh hysterically. Here's the Illusion Motorcycles Quarter Fairing for dual-headlight Harley-Davidson bikes...
Mini-cowls and windshields are cool and add a dash of sporty character to pretty much any bike, but they serve some purpose, too. Or at least they should... Taking a look at the picture we cannot miss the completely funny way this fairing seems to fail its role as a wind deflector.

Not all riders have high bars installed, but all riders are facing the wind problem. Spending $550 (€422) on a fairing which offers little on the style side and even less on the protection against wind is a bit steep. Now, if you really feel like painting this rather awkward fairing yourself and having it installed on your bike, the price drops to $260 (€200). However, it will not gain any functionality and will not look better. Sorry.
