  • Patent number: 9944341
    Abstract: Lateral sides of an engine and a fuel tank are covered with a tank cowling formed by connecting a front cowling and a rear cowling. The front cowling is provided with a flange in which a through hole is formed. The long sides of the through hole are formed in parallel with a cylinder axis of a cylinder section. A gate provided on a lower connecting edge portion of the rear cowling with which the flange overlaps is inserted into the through hole and connected by the clip. The front cowling and the rear cowling are fastened through a bolt on a vehicle body side above and below the connecting section by the clip. With this structure, the force applied to the connecting section is reduced and the connecting section is decreased in size.

  • Patent number: 7234559
    Abstract: An improved fender structure for a motorcycle includes a rear fender for covering a rear wheel, and a support stay for supporting the rear fender on a motorcycle body frame. The support stay extends along an inner surface of the rear fender, from the motorcycle body frame to the rear end of the rear fender. The support stay also supports a tail lamp body that is provided on an exterior surface of the rear fender. The front end of the rear fender includes a contact portion that interacts with the motorcycle body frame. The improved fender structure provides sufficient rigidity for a rear end portion of the rear fenders while achieving a simplified fender shape, reducing molding costs, and improving the external appearance. The improved fender structure also permits easy assembly of the rear fender to the motorcycle.

  • Patent number: 6814477
    Abstract: A license light for a two-wheeled vehicle capable of uniformly illuminating a display plane of a license plate. A lamp main body is supported in a light housing portion of a light cover mounted to a license plate mounting portion of a rear fender. The lamp main body is configured such that a lamp fixed to a base via a socket is covered with a lens. A prism is provided on an upper surface portion of the lens through which light emitted from the lamp is directed for illuminating a display plane of the license plate. The prism is formed by arraying a plurality of prism elements, each of which is directed in a direction parallel to the center line of a vehicular body, in a direction perpendicular to the center line direction. The light emitted from the lamp is uniformly diffused by the prism, so that the license light is uniformly illuminated with the light with a uniform brightness.

  • Patent number: 6517767
    Abstract: A rear trunk for a vehicle having a rear wall which is inclined with respect to a bottom portion of the trunk such that it overhangs the bottom of the trunk. The opening of the trunk may be narrower than the bottom of the trunk without requiring complicated manufacturing steps. The body of the trunk can be formed in this shape as an integral piece by blow molding. An inner member can be included which divides the interior space of the trunk body into separate compartments, and may be blow molded integrally with the trunk body.
