That "fairing" is actually a different set of headlights built into that assembly. I actually hate it but its what came with the bike. It kinda looks like I have Darth Vaders head mounted on the front of the bike. If it were any further forward, it would be on the bike in front of me. The bike had been dropped by the previous owner and he musta wrecked the headlights. Those things are freakin' $200 EACH from the dealer, so I'm doing the ebay thing looking for another set of stocks.
