Part 2 of Motorcycle Fit - Do you suffer from tired hands when you ride?
Several factors come into play when you have tired hands. Hand grips, vibration, and gloves are the most common elements to tired hands while riding.
Lets start off talking about hand grips. When you purchase your motorcycle the manufacture uses a standard set of grips. Depending upon the size of your hand it may or may not fit. If you have smaller hands the standard grip may be too large and cause extra strain on your hands. Check with the dealer to see if they offer smaller hand grips for your ride. There are several after market vendors who offer an assortment of hand grips in different styles and sizes.
Another factor that plays into tired hands is vibration. Today's bike manufacturers have reduced the amount of vibration that is transferred from the road and engine through to your hands and body. To help dampen some of the vibration transfer you can get hand grip pads. Some of the pads slip over your existing hand grips with minimal cost. The issue with the slip on padding is the grip becomes big and bulky. If you have smaller hands this is a huge issue. There are padded grips available for most bikes. These are used in replacement of your standard hand grips. Your dealer may have availability to offer these padded grips in multiple sizes. Be sure to try the grips in both hands to ensure a comfortable fit for a pleasurable ride. Be sure to wear your gloves when trying the grips. Wearing gloves also dampens the vibration transfer.
The third factor in tired hands ties back to your safety gear. Your gloves. You want to get gloves that are comfortable and right for the season. Gloves that are too tight will cause the blood flow to be restricted and cause your hands to go numb. If you are riding in cooler weather be sure to weather lined gloves so your hands stay warm while you ride. In the summer vented gloves are preferred to allow your hands to breath. There are different type of gloves on the market today. An all leather glove gives the best protection from debris and injury. Leather gloves do tend to be a bit warmer but you can find a glove that has vents and breathes. Some gloves have a gel padding in the palm to help dampen the vibration. This gel padding will also impact the fit of your hand grips as well.
Be sure to flex your fingers along your ride. Relax and enjoy your ride. Be safe and follow where the road takes you.

Types Of Motorcycle Fairings Prevalent Today
Motorcycle fairing is the shell positioned over the frame of sports bikes and racing motorcycles mainly to reduce the air drag. It also protects the driver from wind, weather and debris and cushions the vehicle in case of a crash. As speed of the motorcycle increases, body of a motorcyclist experiences increasing wind resistance that slows down the bike. With fairings, a biker can duck low and nullify almost all air resistance.
Types of Fairings Depending on Coverage Area
Depending on area of coverage fairings may be full, half or quarter.
• Full fairing – They cover both lower and upper portions of the motorcycle, minimizing air drag and providing protection to the engine, gearbox and chassis.
• Half fairings – They feature a windscreen, extending below the handlebars. Many half-faired models have kits by original manufacturers to convert them to full fairings.
• Quarter fairing – This generally comprises a windscreen and minimum fairing around the headlight.
• Belly Pan Fairings – These are used in combination with quarter or half fairings below the engine to minimize the aerodynamic lift and to increase the appeal of the bike.
Types of Fairings Depending on Their Placement
• Depending on their position you can have
• front fairing
• rear fairing
• left body fairing
• right body fairing, and
• tail fairing.
There are some specialized fairings manufacturers that have come up with innovative and attractive fairings, adding a new dimension to the biking experience.
Some popular motorcycle fairings brands:
• Batwing fairing: Clean aerodynamic shape, easily detachable, 36 inch wide and 17 inch tall, without windshields from Memphis. Windshields are available in three heights and seven colors. The inner wall is black textured, ABS outer shell is black and paint ready. However, it is not compatible with any other windshield other than Batwing.
• AirMaster Universal Deluxe Fairing: Way ahead of time, this subtle and classy styling of Kuryakyn fairings will set a different look for your bike. The attractive standard features and tempting list of optional accessories make it one of the finest fairings in the market, especially, for music buffs. Stereo, CD, AM & FM, specially designed and fitted speakers, direct ipod control, and glove compartment are some of its distinct features. It can be fitted to all types of bike.
• Arlen Ness Fairing: Designed to be used on all front ends, its body is constructed by heavy ABS plastic and the windshield is made of smoked plexiglass. It is smart, good looking and inexpensive.
• Premeux Classic Fairing: These fairings give excellent protection from wind and rain. Made of composite fiberglass, chromed brackets, and black gel coat surface, these are available ready to be painted to match the colors of the motorcycle. Inside the inner fairings enough place for speaker mounts, antenna and glove box are kept.
Gone are the days of Dustbin fairings and Dolphin fairings. Today, fairings have become an integral part of design and style statement of a sports or racing motorcycle. The increasing craze for stylish fairings has encouraged the leading manufactures to come with aftermarket fairing kits to be fitted to their respective models. They are now offering a whole new updated range of fairings that may be full or half, depending upon the choice. It is time to gear up for a whole new biking experience!
