Problems solved by technology

However, when an air guide opening is provided in addition to the opening for the blinker, the ratio of the opening to the surface area of ​​the front cover becomes even larger.
[0007] Therefore, if the aspect ratio of the front cover of the scooter-type motorcycle is simply reduced, the rigidity of the front cover with a small aspect ratio adopted for the underbend type motorcycle and the like may be insufficient.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the arrow FWD in a figure shows the traveling direction of the motorcycle in embodiment.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the straddle-type vehicle in this embodiment is a so-called underbone type motorcycle 1 . In the underbend type motorcycle 1 , in order to ensure running stability on bad road surfaces, etc., wheels with a larger diameter are used than those of the pedal type motorcycle. Furthermore, in the underbend type motorcycle 1, unlike so-called sports motorcycles, the frame (main frame) between the seat and the handle is lowered so that the driver can easily step on the vehicle body.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1 , a motorcycle 1 has a vehicle body frame 2 composed of a plurality of frames. The body frame 2 includes: a head pipe 3, a main frame 4 extending obliquely downward from the head pipe 3, a seat guide rail 5 extending obliquely upward f...

Abstract

The present invention provides a front cowl that exhibits a sufficient stiffness even in use for underbone type motorcycles, etc., and a vehicle provided with the front cowl. The front cowl is formed into a shape, in which it extends obliquely rearward with a center point as a front end. The front cowl is formed with a horn opening, lighting openings, and baffle openings. The openings are arranged to be radial round a central portion as viewed from the front. The front cowl is formed with an irregular shape, which is defined by crest lines and trough lines. The crest lines are arranged between the horn opening and the lighting openings. The trough lines and the crest lines are arranged between the lighting openings and the baffle openings.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a front cover and a vehicle with the front cover. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, scooter-type motorcycles and the like are known as vehicles having a front cover in which an opening for installing a blinker is formed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). [0003] The front cover described in Patent Document 1 has a vertically elongated shape, and openings for installing blinkers are formed on both left and right sides of a substantially central position in the vertical direction. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-162676 [0005] In addition, a so-called underbend type motorcycle is also known as a scooter-type motorcycle. In the underbend type motorcycle, the height of the frame between the seat and the handle is lowered so that the driver can easily step on the vehicle. In general, the front wheels of the underbend type motorcycle are larger than those of ...
