The rear third cross rib 73b is formed to be longer than the front third cross rib 73a in the left-right direction. The rear third cross rib 73b is formed at a position behind the fender fastening portions 59L and 59R on the left and right sides.

[0138] Inclined ribs 74 and 75 are formed between the first cross rib 71 and the second cross rib 72. In the present embodiment, the front ends of the inclined ribs 74 and 75 are connected to the rear first cross rib 71b, and the rear ends of the inclined ribs 74 and 75 are connected to the front second cross rib 72a. The inclined ribs 74 and 75 include a first inclined rib 74 extending from the front left to the rear right and a second inclined rib 75 extending from the front right to the rear left. The inclined ribs 74 and 75 cross each other and integrally form an X shape (refer to Figure 5 ). In the present embodiment, two inclined ribs 74 and 75 are formed at a prescribed interval in the vehicle width direction (or at a prescribed interval in the front-rear direction). That is, the inclined ribs 74 and 75 respectively have inclined ribs 74a and 75a with front end portions located inside the vehicle width direction and inclined ribs 74b and 75b with front end portions located outside the vehicle width direction.

[0139] Between the two first cross ribs 71a and 71b, a truss rib 77 that connects the two first cross ribs 71a and 71b in a truss shape is formed. In the present embodiment, the truss rib 77 is formed in a shape that constitutes the extension lines of the inclined ribs 74 and 75.

[0140] Between the two second cross ribs 72a and 72b, a truss rib 78 that connects the two second cross ribs 72a and 72b in a truss shape is formed. In the present embodiment, the truss rib 78 is formed in a shape that constitutes the extension lines of the inclined ribs 74b and 75b.

[0141] The rib structure 70 of the present embodiment is constituted by the first cross ribs 71a and 71b, the second cross ribs 72a and 72b, the third cross ribs 73a and 73b, the inclined ribs 74a, 74b, 75a, and 75b, the truss rib 77, and the truss rib 78.

[0142] Figure 8 It is a view of the main part of the rear fender 50 as viewed in the extending direction of the front fork. In other words, Figure 8 It is a view of the main part of the rear fender 50 in a cross section perpendicular to the axis L1 of the fork tube 34 of the front fork 14.

[0143] When viewed in the direction of the front fork extension, a fork fastening region R10 is set, which is surrounded by the outermost contour line connecting the plurality of fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, and 55R.

In the present embodiment, the straight line region R12 is rectangular.

[0147] In addition, when viewed in the direction of the front fork extension, a straight line region R13 is set that linearly connects the fork fastening portion 54L on the left side of the front part and the fork fastening portion 55R on the right side of the rear part. The straight line region R13 is indicated by shading in Figure 8It is indicated by shading. Here, the linear region R13 is a closed region formed by connecting and enclosing the points at the outer end in the thickness direction and the outer end in the radial direction of the washer 101 at the fork fastening portion 54L on the left front side and the points at the outer end in the thickness direction and the outer end in the radial direction of the washer 101 at the fork fastening portion 55R on the right rear side with a straight line extending obliquely from the left front to the right rear. In the present embodiment, the linear region R13 is a parallelogram.

[0148] Further, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, a linear region R14 is set which linearly connects the fork fastening portion 54R on the right front side and the fork fastening portion 55L on the left rear side. The linear region R14 is Figure 8 indicated by shading. Here, the linear region R14 is a closed region formed by connecting and enclosing the points at the outer end in the thickness direction and the outer end in the radial direction of the washer 101 at the fork fastening portion 54R on the right front side and the points at the outer end in the thickness direction and the outer end in the radial direction of the washer 101 at the fork fastening portion 55L on the left rear side with a straight line extending obliquely from the right front to the left rear. In the present embodiment, the linear region R14 is a parallelogram.

[0149] At this time, the first transverse rib 71b, the second transverse ribs 72a and 72b, the first inclined ribs 74a and 74b, the second inclined ribs 75a and 75b, and the truss rib 78 in the rib structure 70 overlap with the fork fastening region R10 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0150] In addition, the first transverse rib 71b, the first inclined ribs 74a and 74b, and the second inclined ribs 75a and 75b in the rib structure 70 overlap with the linear region R11 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0151] Moreover, the second transverse ribs 72a and 72b and the truss rib 78 in the rib structure 70 overlap with the linear region R12 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0154] Figure 9 is the figure corresponding to Figure 8 . Therefore, Figure 9 is also a figure showing the main part of the rear fender 50 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0155] When observing in the extending direction of the front fork, a fender fastening region R20 surrounded by the outermost contour lines connecting the plurality of fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R is set.

[0156] Here, the outermost contour lines connecting the fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R refer to a plurality of straight lines that convexly connect and surround the outer ends of the fasteners that abut against the inner seat surfaces 58a and 59a of the fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R when observing in the extending direction of the front fork. That is, in the present embodiment, for the bolts 110 at the four portions of the fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R, the region formed by connecting and surrounding the points on the radial outer ends of the bolts 110 with a straight line when observing in the extending direction of the front fork is the fender fastening region R20. In the present embodiment, the fender fastening region R20 is trapezoidal. Since the fastening force of the bolts 110 acts on the fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R, the fender fastening region R20 is a region considering the fastening force of the bolts 110.

[0157] In addition, when observing in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R21 that linearly connects the fender fastening portion 58L on the left side of the front part and the fender fastening portion 58R on the right side of the front part is set. The straight line region R21 is Figure 9 indicated by shading in. Here, the straight line region R21 is a closed region formed by connecting and surrounding the points on the radial outer ends of the bolts 110 at the fender fastening portion 58L on the left side of the front part and the points on the radial outer ends of the bolts 110 at the fender fastening portion 58R on the right side of the front part with a straight line extending in the left-right direction. In the present embodiment, the straight line region R21 is rectangular.

[0158] Moreover, when observing in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R22 that linearly connects the fender fastening portion 59L on the left side of the rear part and the fender fastening portion 59R on the right side of the rear part is set. The straight line region R22 is Figure 9 indicated by shading in. Here, the straight line region R22 is a closed region formed by connecting and surrounding the points on the radial outer ends of the bolts 110 at the fender fastening portion 59L on the left side of the rear part and the points on the radial outer ends of the bolts 110 at the fender fastening portion 59R on the right side of the rear part with a straight line extending in the left-right direction. In the present embodiment, the straight line region R22 is rectangular.

[0159] In addition, when observing in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R23 that linearly connects the fender fastening portion 58L on the left side of the front part and the fender fastening portion 59R on the right side of the rear part is set. The straight line region R23 is Figure 9It is indicated by shading. Here, the straight-line region R23 is a closed region formed by connecting and enclosing the radially outer end points of the bolts 110 at the front left fender fastening portion 58L and the radially outer end points of the bolts 110 at the rear right fender fastening portion 59R with a straight line extending obliquely from the front left to the rear right. In the present embodiment, the straight-line region R23 is a parallelogram.

[0160] Moreover, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight-line region R24 is set by linearly connecting the front right fender fastening portion 58R and the rear left fender fastening portion 59L. The straight-line region R24 is Figure 9 indicated by shading. Here, the straight-line region R24 is a closed region formed by connecting and enclosing the radially outer end points of the bolts 110 at the front right fender fastening portion 58R and the radially outer end points of the bolts 110 at the rear left fender fastening portion 59L with a straight line extending obliquely from the front right to the rear left. In the present embodiment, the straight-line region R24 is a parallelogram.

[0161] At this time, the first transverse rib 71b, the second transverse ribs 72a, 72b, the third transverse rib 73a, the first inclined ribs 74a, 74b, the second inclined ribs 75a, 75b, the truss ribs 77, and the truss rib 78 in the rib structure 70 overlap with the fender fastening region R20 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0162] In addition, the first transverse rib 71b, the first inclined ribs 74a, 74b, the second inclined ribs 75a, 75b, and the truss rib 77 in the rib structure 70 overlap with the straight-line region R21 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0163] Furthermore, the third transverse rib 73a in the rib structure 70 overlaps with the straight-line region R22 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0164] In addition, the second transverse ribs 72a, 72b, the second inclined ribs 75a, 75b, and the truss rib 78 in the rib structure 70 overlap with the straight-line region R23 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0165] Moreover, the second transverse ribs 72a, 72b, the first inclined ribs 74a, 74b, and the truss rib 78 in the rib structure 70 overlap with the straight-line region R24 when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork.

[0166] Figure 10 is a perspective view of observing the peripheral portion of the front fender 26 from the front left. Figure 11 is a perspective view of observing the peripheral portion of the front fender 26 from the front left.

[0167] Next, an example of the method for mounting the front fender 26 to the front fork 14 will be described.

[0168] In the front fender 26, the front fender overlapping portion 65 overlaps with the rear fender overlapping portion 56. Further, the bolts 110 are inserted from the lower side through the insertion holes 58b and 59b of the fender fastening portions 58 and 59 and fastened to the protruding portions 68 and 69 of the front fender 60.

[0169] Accordingly, in the rear fender 50, the rear fender 50 and the front fender 60 are fastened and connected by the bolts 110 of the four fender fastening portions 58 and 59, namely, the fender fastening portion 58L on the left front side, the fender fastening portion 58R on the right front side, the fender fastening portion 59L on the left rear side, and the fender fastening portion 59R on the right rear side.

[0170] The front fender 26 of the present embodiment is constituted by the rear fender 50 and the front fender 60.

[0171] At this time, the front fender overlapping portion 65 abuts and is fixed to the upper end (projecting end) of the rib structure 70. Further, the fork accommodating portion 64 enters the front fender avoiding recess 57a and constitutes a fork accommodating portion together with the fork accommodating portion 53 of the rear fender 50.

[0172] The integral front fender 26 is disposed between the left and right fork tubes 34 of the front fork 14. At this time, the fork tubes 34 are accommodated in the fork accommodating portions 64 of the front fender 60 and the fork accommodating portions 53 of the rear fender 50. Further, the fork protection portion 63 is disposed to cover the fork tubes 34 from the outside and cover the front fender support portion 36a from the outside in the vehicle width direction. Moreover, the flange bolts 100 are inserted from the inside in the vehicle width direction through the fork fastening portions 54 and 55 of the rear fender 50. The flange bolts 100 are fastened to the fender support portions 36a and 36b of the bottom tube 36 via washers 101 and rubber (not shown).

[0173] Therefore, in the rear fender 50, the front fender 26 is fastened and supported on the front fork 14 by the flange bolts 100, washers 101, etc. of the four fork fastening portions 54 and 55, namely, the fork fastening portion 54L on the left front side, the fork fastening portion 54R on the right front side, the fork fastening portion 55L on the left rear side, and the fork fastening portion 55R on the right rear side.

[0174] Here, in the front fender 26, the front fender overlapping portion 65 and the rear fender overlapping portion 56 where the front fender 60 and the rear fender 50 overlap are in a state where the rigidity is ensured by the rib structure 70, thereby ensuring the rigidity of the front fender 26. Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, it is not necessary to fix the front fender 26 or the like via a metal member straddling the left and right fork tubes 34 to ensure the rigidity, and an increase in the number of components can be suppressed and the rigidity of the front fender 26 can be ensured.

[0175] In addition, in the front fender 26, the rib structure 70 is covered by the front fender 60. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the rib structure 70 is hidden, it is easy to improve the appearance design of the front fender 26.

[0176] In particular, in the present embodiment, the front fender 60 is made of ABS resin, and the rear fender 50 is made of PP resin. Here, the paintability of ABS resin is good, so it is suitable for the front fender 60 on the front side that is likely to be conspicuous. However, if the ABS resin is fastened to the front fork 14, it is possible to promote the deterioration of the paint due to torsion and flexure caused by vibrations during vehicle travel.

[0177] On the contrary, in the present embodiment, the relatively soft PP resin rear fender 50 is supported on the front fork 14 by the fork fastening portions 54 and 55, and the ABS resin front fender 60 is supported on the front fork 14 via the rear fender 50. Therefore, vibrations are easily absorbed by the rear fender 50, and it is difficult for the front fender 60 to generate torsion and flexure caused by vibrations during vehicle travel. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is easy to improve the appearance design of the front fender 26.

[0178] In addition, in the present embodiment, the front fender 60 does not require a fastening portion directly fastened to the fork tube 34, so the degree of freedom in the appearance design of the front fender can be ensured.

[0179] As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present utility model, the saddle-riding type vehicle 10 is a saddle-riding type vehicle 10 including a front fork 14 and a front fender 26 having a split structure. The front fender 26 includes a front fender 60 and a rear fender 50 separated from the front fender 60. A front fender overlapping portion 65 is formed on the front fender 60, and a rear fender overlapping portion 56 overlapping with the front fender overlapping portion 65 is formed on the rear fender 50. The rear fender 50 includes a plurality of fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, 55R fastened to the front fork 14 on the vehicle body side. On the rear fender overlapping portion 56, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, ribs 71b, 72a, 72b, 74a, 74b, 75a, 75b, 78 formed in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65 are provided in the common portion of the fork fastening region R10 surrounded by the outermost contour line connecting the plurality of fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, 55R and the rear fender overlapping portion 56. In other words, on the rear fender overlapping portion 56, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, ribs 71b to 78 formed in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65 are provided so as to overlap with the fork fastening region R10.

[0180] According to this structure, ribs 71b to 78 formed in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65 are provided in the common portion of the fork fastening region R10 surrounded by the outermost contour line connecting the plurality of fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, and 55R and the rear fender overlapping portion 56. Therefore, without using the thickness of the front fender 26, a metal support member, etc. for reinforcement, the rigidity of the front fender 26 can be ensured, and the number of components can be reduced. In addition, since the front fender 26 has a split structure and no vehicle body fastening portion is required for the front fender 60, the degree of freedom in design is increased.

[0181] Therefore, according to this structure, it is possible to provide a saddle-riding type vehicle 10 equipped with a front fender 26 that can suppress an increase in the number of components, ensure rigidity, and easily increase the degree of freedom in design.

[0182] In the present embodiment, the rear fender 50 includes a plurality of fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R fastened to the front fender 60. On the rear fender overlapping portion 56, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, ribs 71b, 72a, 72b, 73a, 74a, 74b, 75a, 75b, 77, and 78 formed in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65 are provided in the common portion of the fender fastening region R20 surrounded by the outermost contour line connecting the plurality of fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R and the rear fender overlapping portion 56. In other words, on the rear fender overlapping portion 56, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, ribs 71b to 78 formed in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65 are provided so as to overlap with the fender fastening region R20.

[0183] According to this structure, ribs 71b to 78 formed in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65 are provided in the common portion of the fender fastening region R20 surrounded by the outermost contour line connecting the plurality of fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R and the rear fender overlapping portion 56. Therefore, without using the thickness of the front fender 26, a metal support member, etc. for reinforcement, the rigidity of the front fender 26 can be ensured, and the number of components can be reduced.

[0184] In addition, in the present embodiment, the rear fender overlapping portion 56 overlaps with the lower side of the front fender overlapping portion 65, and the ribs 71b to 78 are provided in a convex shape facing the front fender overlapping portion 65, that is, an upward convex shape.

[0185] According to this structure, by overlapping the rear fender 50 with the lower side of the front fender 60, the design and assemblability can be more easily improved.

[0186] Further, in the present embodiment, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, at least a part of the ribs 71b, 72a, 72b, 73a are in a linear shape extending in the left-right direction of the vehicle body.

[0187] According to this structure, by the ribs 71b to 73a in a linear shape extending in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the rear fender 50 can be strengthened in the left-right direction as a whole. Without using the thickness of the front fender 26, a metal support member, etc. for reinforcement, the rigidity of the front fender 26 can be ensured, and the number of components can be reduced.

[0188] Further, in the present embodiment, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, at least a part of the ribs 74a, 74b, 75a, 75b, 77, 78 form a linear shape that inclines in the left-right direction of the vehicle body as it approaches the rear of the vehicle body.

[0189] According to this structure, by the inclined linear ribs 74a to 78, in combination with the ribs 71b to 73a extending in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the rear fender 50 can be strengthened in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction as a whole.

[0190] Further, in the present embodiment, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, at least a part of the ribs 77, 78 form a truss shape.

[0191] According to this structure, by the truss-shaped ribs 77, 78, the linear ribs 71b to 78 can be effectively strengthened.

[0192] Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, 55R are provided on the rear fender 50 at four locations: the front left side, the front right side, the rear left side, and the rear right side. When viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, the linear region R11 connecting the fork fastening portion 54L on the front left side and the fork fastening portion 54R on the front right side overlaps with a part of the ribs 71b to 78, and when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, the linear region R12 connecting the fork fastening portion 55L on the rear left side and the fork fastening portion 55R on the rear right side overlaps with a part of the ribs 71b to 78.

[0193] According to this structure, the torsion and flexure of the front fender 26 caused by vibrations during vehicle travel transmitted through the left and right fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, 55R can be suppressed. That is, an improvement in the rigidity of the front fender 26 can be expected.

[0194] In addition, in the present embodiment, when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R13 connecting the fork fastening portion 54L on the left side of the front part and the fork fastening portion 55R on the right side of the rear part overlaps with a part of the ribs 71b to 78, and when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R14 connecting the fork fastening portion 54R on the right side of the front part and the fork fastening portion 55L on the left side of the rear part overlaps with a part of the ribs 71b to 78.

[0195] According to this structure, it is possible to suppress the twisting and flexing of the front fender 26 caused by vibrations during vehicle travel transmitted through the obliquely arranged fork fastening portions 54L, 54R, 55L, and 55R in the front, rear, left, and right directions. That is, an improvement in the rigidity of the front fender 26 can be expected.

[0196] In addition, in the present embodiment, a plurality of fender fastening portions 58L, 58R, 59L, and 59R are provided at four locations on the front left side, front right side, rear left side, and rear right side of the rear fender. When viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R21 connecting the fender fastening portion 58L on the left side of the front part and the fender fastening portion 58R on the right side of the front part overlaps with a part of the ribs 71b to 78, and when viewed in the extending direction of the front fork, a straight line region R22 connecting the fender fastening portion 59L on the left side of the rear part and the fender fastening portion 59R on the right side of the rear part overlaps with a part of the ribs 71b to 78.
