Default 39mm vs 49mm quarter fairing fitment difference

Not sure why the title came out as 38 but... In regards to quarter fairings


Quarter fairing looks different on 39mm vs 49mm front ends. How come on a 39mm. The fairing in nice and tight to the forks. When you see them on 49mm fro t ends they seem to be sitting much farther away from the forks

is there anyway to duplicate the look of when it's in a 39mm front end.

That's some good looking numbers there!

Honestly, I've never noticed the fairing difference. Sorry

I think it has to do with the narrower front end allowing the fairing to "wrap" around the forks where on the 49mm the bottom of the fairing won't clear.

Trust me I wish I could bring mine in closer.
