An upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate spaced apart are provided between the two shock absorber tubes. The front fork handle 11 is connected to both the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate. The position light assembly 2 is arranged on the front side of the front fork shoulder 12 and is connected to both the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate.

[0029] The front fork assembly of the present invention embodiment is provided with a position light assembly 2 on the front side of the front fork shoulder 12. The light emitted by the position light 22 can indicate the position of the vehicle body, serve as a safety signal prompt for passing vehicles or pedestrians, and ensure driving safety.

[0030] In addition, the setting of the position lights 22 can also increase the atmosphere attributes of the entire vehicle and improve the appearance effect.

[0031] Furthermore, the position light assembly 2 of the present application is connected to both the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate, that is, there are two upper and lower fixing points for the installation of the position light assembly 2, and the installation stability is higher.

[0032] Furthermore, the position light assembly 2 includes a front shell 21 and a position light 22, the front shell 21 is connected to the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate, and the position light 22 is connected to the front shell 21. That is, the position light 22 is not directly mounted on the front fork, but is indirectly connected through a front shell 21, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front shell 21 includes a body, an upper side plate and a lower side plate, the upper side plate and the lower side plate are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the body and are respectively connected to the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate, the body is recessed toward the front side of the vehicle body relative to the upper side plate and the lower side plate, and the position lamp 22 is installed on the body. In other words, the front shell 21 is a plate that arches forward, and the position lamp 22 is installed at the arched part, so that the lamp body can be completely not blocked or interfered by the shock-absorbing tube, and the appearance presentation effect is better.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper side plate is located below the upper connecting plate and is provided with a threaded connection hole opposite to the upper connecting plate, and the lower side plate is located at the front side of the lower connecting plate and is provided with a threaded connection hole opposite to the lower connecting plate. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the upper plate abuts against the lower surface of the upper connecting plate, the front shell 21 has a forward tilt angle from top to bottom, the lower plate is located on the front side of the lower connecting plate, the upper plate is provided with threaded holes with upper and lower perforations, and the lower plate is provided with threaded holes with front and rear perforations, and the connection between the upper plate and the upper connecting plate and the connection between the lower plate and the lower connecting plate are respectively achieved by screwing.

[0035] Preferably, the body is provided with reinforcing plates on both sides in the width direction of the front fork shoulder 12, and the reinforcing plates are connected to the upper side plates. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a reinforcing plate is provided on each side of the upper end of the main body, and the reinforcing plate is connected to the bending part of the upper side plate to realize an integrated reinforced connection of the main body, the reinforcing plate and the upper side plate, thereby improving the structural strength of the front shell 21.

[0036] Preferably, the front housing 21 has a slot, and the position light 22 is mounted in the slot. Figure 2 As shown, the position light 22 is a cross-shaped structure, and a corresponding slot is provided on the front shell 21. The position light 22 is directly inserted into the slot, and has a beautiful appearance and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0037] Specifically, the position lamp assembly 2 further includes a rear shell 24, which is connected to the upper connecting plate 13 and the lower connecting plate 14. The front shell 21 is connected to the front side of the rear shell 24 and defines an installation cavity, which can be used to accommodate part of the lamp body and circuit module of the position lamp 22. During specific assembly, the rear shell 24 can be connected to the front fork shoulder 12 first, and then the lamp body and circuit module can be installed on the rear shell 24, and then the front shell 21 can be buckled. The front shell 21 is provided with a slot for allowing the position lamp 22 to pass through. After the installation is completed, part of the position lamp 22 is exposed on the front side of the entire front shell 21.

[0038] Furthermore, a decorative piece 23 is provided on the rear side surface of the rear shell 24 to enhance the appearance of the position lamp assembly 2 .

[0039] Preferably, the position light 22 is located at the center of the front shell 21. Thus, the position light 22 is always on the central axis of the riding direction, and can accurately indicate the position of the vehicle body.

[0040] Preferably, the position light 22 is located below the front lighting lamp.

[0041] Furthermore, the position lamp assembly 2 further includes a fender 3, which is connected to the front shell 21 and is located below the position lamp 22. Thus, the fender 3 can protect the position lamp 22 and prevent the mud driven by the tire from rising and contaminating the position lamp 22.

[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lower side of the front shell 21 has an arc-shaped groove that is concave upward, and the fender 3 fits in the arc-shaped groove. Therefore, the arrangement of the arc-shaped groove can provide installation space for the fender 3 in the height direction of the vehicle body, avoiding the installation of the fender 3 occupying the longitudinal space, and the fender 3 is more closely combined with the front shell 21, and the structure is compact.

[0043] Furthermore, the lower end of the front side surface of the front shell 21 is recessed upward with a groove, and the top surface of the fender 3 is provided with a support plate, which abuts against the bottom surface of the groove to support the fender 3 and prevent the fender 3 from shaking.
