Ok so I have reaslised what the fairing mount is now but could someone now tell me the difference in length between long and short fairings

Calibrick

Hi Westie! Do you know which specific fairing you're trying to find the length difference for?

Pikka

If you are referring to "long fairing mounts" and "short fairing mounts", those are the little pins at the bottom of the chassis where the fairing is attached (*click*)

WESTIEKaTH

@Pikka yes that what I mean thank you. So i take it the short fairing mounts are very short?
Thanks

WESTIEKaTH

@Calibrick the pictire that Pikka has put up is what I mean I realised after what they were - this is so confusing but the picture that Pikka showed made it a bit clearer. Thank you for your reply

Pikka

You can check better picture here, the difference is a few milimeters:

I’ve been struggling with this for the last 15 min and even consulted with my husband who has worked on quite a few motorcycles. The part of the frame that Pikka is showing looks like the pegs (where you rest your feet). From my research, “ Motorcycle fairings are panels that you place in certain spots on your Conyers to change the airflow and make your ride more comfortable.”

Is it possible that variation was incorrectly named? If it said long pegs or short pegs I would have figured this out much more quickly.

Here is a YouTube video showing one on a motorcycle. It’s the white part of the front of the bike.

I've added a tag of foot pegs on both items. In the lego items, it's where the "fairing body" mounts onto the chassis, via the foot peg looking things.

Thanks Lawrence
