arcticflipper Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 can anyone tell me why when facing the bird, looking at the headlight, the left hand fairing looks different than the right. The left side has a airscoop at the bottom, while the right side does not? Is it supposed to be like this, or do I have 2 different fairings combined into one. All the parts fit 100% though. :?: :?: :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey_peeps Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The right one does have a duct while the left does not. Yours is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The southern hemisphere model is reversed with right side airscoop on the bottom! It has something to do with the earths rotation and wind direction :roll: !

arcticflipper Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Ok so now that we've established that it is normal, what is the reason for this? I'm a bit slow when it comes to aerodynamics, has it got to do with the fact that it somehow balances out the bike - earth rotation etc, or is there something that needs cooling down? :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey_peeps Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I think it's primarily a styling que. The left side (as you're sitting on the bike) has the stator cover hanging out and breaks up the acreage of plastic, but the right side has nothing like that. I think it's just a way to make it visually lighter and not so slab-sided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonW Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I think it's because the exhaust header runs down that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the same question 3 yrs ago Come on, don't pull my leg !! That is obviously not correct !! I agree with BDAZ XX on the Earth's Gravitational, Hemispherical Polarity thing myself. Sounds much more logical to me :wink: Exhaust Header runs down that side .......jeeeess.....I bet then the next thing will be said is it has something to do with Heating or rather Cooling as well ??
