For motorcycle enthusiasts, a fairing isn’t just an accessory—it’s a tool that enhances your ride. With the right fairing, you can reduce wind fatigue, improve stability, have storage capabilities, and experience better control, especially at higher speeds. Klock Werks fairings are designed to do just that, giving you smoother handling and added comfort on every journey.
In this guide, we answer your top questions about Klock Werks' fairings, covering everything from the benefits to installation, so you can choose the best option for a truly elevated riding experience.
Is adding a fairing worth it?
Fairings aren’t just a nice-to-have upgrade. They can be a total game changer. They’re engineered to optimize your ride by cutting down wind resistance and adding an extra layer of protection against the elements. That means a smoother ride, less fatigue, and a noticeable boost in comfort, especially on those long hauls. But that’s not all. A fairing is the perfect canvas for custom designs and paint jobs that turn heads on the road.
With a Klock Werks fairing, you’re not just upgrading performance. You’re investing in a superior riding experience.
Should I choose a full, half, or quarter fairing?
Half fairings offer a unique blend of performance and practicality, making them a popular choice for riders who want to enhance their bike's aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing style or flexibility.
Aerodynamic Benefits: Half fairings direct airflow around your upper body, which helps reduce wind resistance and minimizes rider fatigue on longer rides, especially when paired with a Flare® Windshield.
Comfort and Stability: By creating a shield against the wind, half fairings make your ride smoother and more stable, allowing for better control even at higher speeds.
Ease of Maintenance: Half fairings leave the engine accessible, making maintenance more straightforward without compromising on the essential protection from wind and debris.
Aesthetic Appeal: Half fairings perfectly balance form and function, giving your bike a sleek look while providing practical benefits that make every ride more enjoyable.
Can I install a fairing myself?

How can I ensure a proper fit?
Getting the right fit is crucial to making sure your fairing delivers the best performance and protection. At Klock Werks, we’ve precision-engineered our fairings to fit a wide range of Indian® and Harley-Davidson® models and make the selection process a breeze.
When it comes to handlebar compatibility, we recommend pairing the FXRP Style Fairing Fit Kit with an 8 1/2" pullback riser handlebar for optimal clearance. We’ve also seen it fit well with T-bars or narrow ape hanger style handlebars.

What materials are fairings made of? Are they durable?
Klock Werks fairings are crafted from polyester primed fiberglass, a material known for its outstanding durability and strength. It offers several benefits that make it an ideal choice for motorcycle fairings.
Durable: This material is highly resistant to impact, making it perfect for handling the rigors of the road, including flying debris and rough riding conditions.
Lightweight: Despite its strength, polyester primed fiberglass remains lightweight, so it won’t add unnecessary bulk to your motorcycle.
Easy to Customize: Our primed fiberglass fairings are ready to hand off to your painter for easy customization.
