  • Publication number: 20070046453
    Abstract: Disclosed is a meter mounting structure of a motorcycle realizing improvement in visibility of a meter. A meter includes a plurality of displays which are disposed in tandem in a direction of the sight line of a rider and is mounted near a handle. The meter is mounted inclined with respect to a reference plane orthogonal to the sight line such that a lower half portion of each of the displays is positioned closer to an eye point than an upper half portion thereof. Preferably, the meter is mounted such that the lower end of the display on the rear side in the direction of the sight line is disposed in almost the same position as that of the display on the front side in the direction of the sight line in the case where the meter is disposed parallel with the reference plane.
