A motorcycle features an improved fairing. The fairing generally comprises a forward panel and a rear panel. The forward panel includes an aperture for a headlight while the rear panel includes apertures for gauges and speakers. By removing the forward panel, a mounting stay and a cavity are revealed. The headlight and the various features secured in the rear panel are mounted to the stay within the cavity. The stay is connected to the frame of the motorcycle and carries the weight of the fairing. An engaging member positively locates the headlight within the forward panel of the fairing when the forward panel is reattached to the motorcycle following maintenance. When the forward panel removed for maintenance, an opening is provided into the cavity defined between the forward panel and the rear panel and the cavity is exposed in both forward and lateral directions.
