Motorcycle Glossary
Fairing
In Turkish: Grenaj
In short
Fairings are the plastic or composite body panels that enclose a motorcycle's engine and frame for aerodynamics, protection and looks.
In Turkish it is used interchangeably with "kaporta" (bodywork). Fairing panels are mostly made of ABS plastic; some models use fibreglass or carbon composite.
- Front (headlight) fairing: the nose around the headlight and dash
- Side panels and belly pan
- Tail section and mudguards
- On scooters: the leg shield, floorboards and under-seat covers
Fairing parts are specific to make, model and year, and mounting points can change between years. Check whether the part is painted or unpainted and the colour code.
