A good fairing does more than block the wind. It changes how your bike feels at speed, how far you can ride comfortably, and how your build stands out in a lineup. Whether you ride a Harley or Indian, choosing the right aftermarket fairing is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make.
Unlike stock options that aim to satisfy everyone, aftermarket fairings give you control over how your motorcycle performs and looks. From aggressive Club Style setups to clean, refined touring builds, this classic fairing can be made to fit any custom build.
Why Go Aftermarket?
When you go aftermarket, you’re not just swapping parts. You’re investing in performance that feels custom-built. Most stock fairings offer basic protection but fall short when it comes to airflow control, adjustability, and long-term comfort.
An aftermarket fairing opens up more options. It lets you choose better materials, refined shapes, and modular systems that grow with your bike. Want to add a windshield that actually works? Mount an audio setup? Clean up your front end? Aftermarket gives you the flexibility to do it right.
What Makes a Fairing Worth It?
Not all fairings are built equal. The best aftermarket fairings are engineered for both function and fit. That means materials that hold up, mounting systems that stay secure, and designs that improve airflow instead of fighting it.
A good fairing should:
- Reduce wind fatigue and head buffeting
- Improve high-speed stability
- Pair cleanly with windshield options like the Flare®
- Match the lines of your bike without gaps or bulk
-
Be built to ride, not just look good parked
Style matters, but not at the cost of ride quality. The right fairing blends both.
Best Aftermarket Fairing Options for Harley-Davidson®
Harley riders know their bikes are built to be customized. If you ride a Dyna, Softail, or a Road Glide and want a more aggressive look with added function, a fairing inspired by the FXRP setup is a solid choice. It’s got the edge and presence Club Style is known for, plus added protection for longer rides.
For stripped-down builds or super customs, this fairing brings wind deflection without overwhelming the front end. This compact FXRP Fairing still give you a performance gain without changing your bike’s attitude.
Paired with a Flare® windshield, the performance increase is real. The wind lifts off your helmet and chest. Buffeting drops. Your ride smooths out at high speeds. That’s not styling, that’s science.
Best Aftermarket Fairing Options for Indian®
Indian motorcycles have a strong presence straight from the factory, but the FXRP aftermarket fairing takes that to the next level. Whether you ride a Chief, Scout, or Challenger, the right fairing enhances the bike’s natural lines while boosting performance.
Look for fairings that integrate cleanly with lighting, allow for windshield swaps, and maintain the signature look of your Indian. On longer rides, airflow control matters. A well-shaped fairing paired with a Flare® Windshield adds miles of comfort without compromising your style.
Don’t Forget the Flare® Windshield
A great fairing needs a great windshield. That’s where the Flare® comes in. Designed and tested by real riders, the Flare® windshield uses patented hips and a flipped upper edge to redirect air. It creates a cleaner pocket of air behind the bars and increases front-end stability.
You’ll notice the difference the first time you hit open highway. Less noise in your helmet and a smoother, faster ride.
Final Thoughts
Upgrading your fairing is more than a cosmetic move. It’s about building a better ride. One that keeps you protected, keeps you comfortable, and keeps your bike performing the way it should.
If you’re riding a Harley or Indian and looking for the best aftermarket fairing option, make sure your choice delivers on both function and fit. Because it’s not just about how your bike looks in the garage. It’s about how it feels at 80 miles an hour.
It’s your ride. You decide.
