Dustbin fairings

Hi elo!
They are called 'dustbin' fairings.
There were serious problems with sidewinds with this kind of fairings, and as they helped the bikes of the time achieve crazy speeds, many were killed or injured.
Nowadays, the shape of the fairings, front wheel mudguards etc are strictly controlled by FIM rules.
