Furthermore, Figure 11 This is a front view showing the front strobe 7 mounted on the headlight mount S. The same symbols as described above denote the same or equivalent parts. Figure 10 The image shows the state after the rear cover 40 has been removed. When assembling the area around the headlight 11 of the motorcycle 1, the instrument panel 8 or the headlight 11 is mounted on the headlight socket S. Then, the rear cover 40, on which the front hazard lights 7 are mounted, is positioned from the rear. The locking member 52 is screwed into the support mounting portion 96, and the rear cover side protrusion 41 is secured using the rear cover mounting portion 97. Because the front of the rear cover side protrusion 41 is open, it is easy to lay the wiring harness H or lock the locking member 52. In the side view of the motorcycle, the support mounting portion 96 is positioned to coincide vertically with the lamp socket member 50.

[0097] Next, if the instrument cover 9 is installed from the front, the front part of the rear cover side protrusion 41 is covered by the instrument cover side protrusion 9a, making it impossible to see the support mounting part 96 or wiring harness H from the outside. Furthermore, if the front fairing 10 is installed from the front, the rear cover 40 is connected to the front fairing 10 near the bottom using locking members such as screws.

[0098] Figure 12 This is a front view showing the lamp holder component 50 inserted into the rear cover side protrusion 41. The same symbols as described above denote the same or equivalent parts. In this figure, the headlight lamp holder S is shown after removal. The support mounting portion is used to secure the support 60 to the lamp holder component 50 using the locking member 52. This support mounting portion can be, for example, a locking piece A extending from the rear cover side protrusion 41. As shown, in addition to the locking piece A extending inward in the vehicle width direction, it can also be a locking piece extending downward or upward.

[0099] Figure 13 This is a magnified right-side view of motorcycle 1. Furthermore, Figure 14 This is a partially enlarged front view of the motorcycle 1 with the front fairing 10 and instrument cover 9 removed. The mounting hole 41a formed on the rear cover side protrusion 41 is approximately elliptical in shape, matching the shape of the engaging groove 51 formed on the lamp holder member 50. From Figure 2 The driving air W introduced through the inlet A shown is rectified into a first driving air W1 that passes rearward from the outlet 10b located between the front fairing 10 and the rear cover 40, and a second driving air W2 that passes under the front fairing 10. The outlet 10b is located further outward in the vehicle width direction than the inlet K.

[0100] On the housing 11b of the headlight 11, below the lens portion, there are a pair of left and right recesses 85 and a plate-shaped wing 86 extending rearward and upward from the outer side of the recesses 85 in the vehicle width direction. In the front view of the vehicle body, the inlet K provided on the lower edge member 30 is arranged to coincide with the recesses 85 and is configured to efficiently rectify the driving airflow W introduced from the inlet K to the outer side and obliquely upward and rearward in the vehicle width direction.

The upper connecting portion 81 of the upper member 80 and the lower connecting portion 99 of the lower member 90 are connected by a locking member 100, such as a screw, screwed in from above. In this embodiment, in the top view of the vehicle body, the bracket mounting portion 96, the rear cover mounting portion 97, the upper connecting portion 81, and the lower connecting portion 99 are configured to be housed between the front edge L1, which is connected to the front end of the strobe lamp 7, and the rear edge L2, which is connected to the rear end of the strobe lamp 7. As a result, by arranging each mounting portion close together in the longitudinal direction, the longitudinal dimension can be reduced, and the rear cover 40 and the strobe lamp 7 can be firmly supported.

[0103] As described above, the riding vehicle 1 according to this utility model includes: a rear cover 40 having a mounting hole 41a for inserting the other end 58 of a lamp holder member 50; a support 60 inserted into the inner periphery of the other end 58 of the lamp holder member 50; and a support mounting portion 96 supported on the vehicle side at an inner position of the rear cover 40. Furthermore, the other end 58 of the lamp holder member 50 is fastened to the support mounting portion 96 and the support 60 at an inner position of the rear cover 40 by a locking member 52. Therefore, the mounting rigidity and mounting accuracy of the lamp holder member 50 relative to the vehicle body can be improved without increasing the outer diameter of the lamp holder member 50 or increasing the thickness of the rear cover 40. This further enables the miniaturization and lightweighting of the flash lamp 7 or the rear cover 40. Furthermore, since the support rigidity is increased on the inner side of the rear cover 40, the appearance of the riding vehicle 1 is not affected, and it is not necessary to form the lamp holder component 50 into an elliptical cross section to prevent the lamp holder component 50 from rotating. This allows for greater design freedom for the flash lamp 7, such as making the lamp holder component 50 into a circular cross section.

[0104] Furthermore, the light source support structure of the riding vehicle 1 includes a headlight lamp holder S, which is supported on the side of the vehicle body in front of the head tube F1 of the body frame F constituting the riding vehicle 1, and supports the headlight 11. The bracket mounting part 96 is part of the headlight lamp holder S. Therefore, the lamp holder component 50 is fixed on the headlight lamp holder S supported on the side of the vehicle body, thereby improving the installation rigidity and installation accuracy of the lamp holder component 50 without the need to set up new parts.

[0105] Furthermore, the headlight lamp holder S has a rear cover mounting portion 97 that supports the rear cover 40. A support mounting portion 96 is connected to the rear cover mounting portion 97, which extends outward in the vehicle width direction, and has a shape that wraps around to the front of the rear cover mounting portion 97 from above. A support 60 is fixed to the support mounting portion 96 with its front side. Therefore, the support 60 and the rear cover 40 can be fixed to the headlight lamp holder S without the need for new mounting components. In addition, by arranging the rear cover mounting portion 97 and the support mounting portion 60 close together, the possibility of positional misalignment between the rear cover 40 and the lamp holder member 50 can be reduced.

[0106] Furthermore, a support member 150 is installed on the connecting part 98 that connects the rear cover mounting part 97 and the support mounting part 96. The support member 150 supports the wiring harness H that supplies power to the light source 56. Therefore, by arranging the support member 150 for the wiring harness H at the position between the rear cover mounting part 97 and the support mounting part 96, the dead zone can be effectively utilized and the wiring harness H can be protected.

[0107] Furthermore, the light source support structure of the riding vehicle 1 includes: a front fork 13, which supports the front wheel WF and is supported on the head tube F1 so that it can rotate freely; a top beam 6, which supports the front fork 13 above the head tube F1; and a bottom beam 12, which supports the front fork 13 below the head tube F1. The headlight lamp holder S is composed of an upper member 80 and a lower member 90. The upper member 80 is supported on the top beam 6, and the lower member 90 is supported on the bottom beam 12. The upper member 80 and the lower member 90 are fixed to each other by connecting the upper connecting part 81 provided on the upper member 80 and the lower connecting part 99 provided on the lower member 90. Therefore, by dividing the complex-shaped headlight lamp holder S into upper and lower parts, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the assemblability to the vehicle body side can be improved. Furthermore, by supporting the headlight lamp holder S on rigid bodies such as the top beam 6 and the bottom beam 12, the installation accuracy of the flash lamp 7 and the rear cover 40 can be further improved.

[0108] Furthermore, in the side view of the vehicle body, at least a portion of the rear cover mounting portion 97 overlaps with the lamp holder component 50, thus enabling the support structure of the lamp holder component 50 to be miniaturized.

[0109] Furthermore, in the top view of the vehicle body, the support mounting part 96, the rear cover mounting part 97, the upper connecting part 81, and the lower connecting part 99 are housed between the front edge L1 connected to the front end of the strobe 7 and the rear edge L2 connected to the rear end of the strobe 7. Therefore, by arranging each mounting part close together in the front-rear direction, the front-rear dimension can be reduced, and the rear cover 40 and the strobe can be firmly supported.

[0110] Furthermore, a boss 68 is provided on the main body 70 of the support 60. The boss 68 is vertically arranged forward from the main body 70 and has a locking hole 69 for engaging with the locking member 52. A fitting hole 59 for engaging the boss 68 is formed on the lamp holder member 50. Therefore, by engaging the boss 68 of the support 60 in the fitting hole 59 formed in the lamp holder member 50, the installation accuracy of the flash lamp 7 can be further improved.

[0111] The shape of the motorcycle, the shape or structure of the flashlight, the shape or structure of the lamp holder component or support, the shape or structure of the rear cover or front fairing, and the shape or structure of the headlight lamp holder are not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified in various ways. For example, the support can also be configured such that the protruding part of the support is not provided, but the boss is directly set on the cylindrical main body. The light source support structure of this utility model for riding vehicles is not limited to motorcycles, and can be applied to various vehicles in addition to riding tricycles or four-wheeled vehicles. Furthermore, it is not limited to front turn signals, but can also be applied to rear turn signals.
