The problem seems to be that turbulence is causing instability in the steering when a fairing is attached to the forks. Air hits this rotating object and simply wants to move it.

Brian,
Here is confirmation that you indeed, do not want to add a fairing to the front wheel by itself...
... The fairing around the front wheel needs to be supported by the frame...
Ask me how I know!!

Needless to say, the beautiful work on the front fairing did not last. The fairing however, is
still going strong.
P.S. It took a while to find these old photos from 1988.
