Abstract: A vehicle having a rear fender disposed above a rear wheel and formed of a plate member having an upward projecting shape, includes a cover member which covers a portion of a lower open part of the rear fender on a lateral side of the rear wheel. The rear fender and the cover member are provided as separate bodies to keep the moldability of the rear fender favorable. The mud-guard performance can be enhanced by covering part of the lower open part of the rear fender by the cover member. Such configuration provides a vehicle in which the mud-guard performance can be enhanced while keeping the moldability of a rear fender favorable.

Abstract: A front cowl for use with a saddle-ride type vehicle includes headlights as well as an air introduction passage configured to introduce a flow of air rearwardly. The air introduction passage is opened in a forward direction to enable the headlights to be cooled by the flow of air that flow through the air introduction passage. Headlights using LEDs as their respective sources of light are placed inside an air introduction passage while supported by a duct that forms the air introduction passage.

Abstract: A saddle riding type vehicle without a case body for surrounding rear direction indicators. A rear portion of a motorcycle includes a rear cowl covering sides of a vehicle body frame, a grab rail disposed on vehicle body sides of a rear occupant seat of a tandem seat above the rear cowl, a rear lamp assembly in the rear of the rear occupant seat and a rear mudguard under the rear lamp assembly. The grab rail includes a lower plate and an upper plate attached on the lower plate with the grab rail extending to a rear of the rear occupant seat. A left and a right of the grab rail are integrated with each other to wrap around the rear of the rear occupant seat. The grab rail has an opening portion opened to the rear with the rear lamp assembly being collectively housed in the opening portion.

Abstract: A rear center cover is disposed in contact with a seat edge portion and a rear end portion of a passenger seat in a tandem seat. A pair of left and right grab rails are disposed overlapping the seat edge portion in a plan view, i.e., disposed overlapping the seat edge portion and the rear center cover from above in such a way as to cover the portion connecting the rear center cover. A rear portion extends to the upper side of a recessed portion. The lower surface of the rear portion is in intimate contact with the upper side. The rear portion covers the portion connecting the rear center cover and the seat edge portion and reinforces the rear center cover.

Abstract: A saddle-ride type vehicle including grab rails that can be gripped by a pillion passenger seated on the pillion passenger seat and a helmet holder that allows selection between a lock state of a metal fitting of a chin strap of a helmet and an unlock state, and configured such that it is unlikely that the helmet holder prevents the pillion passenger from gripping the grab rails. A recess portion is formed in a grab rail, having its opening opened facing an attachment portion of a body frame for attachment of the grab rail. A helmet holder is provided at the position sandwiched between the grab rail and the attachment portion while having at least a part of the cylinder lock stored in the recess portion, and a key hole of the cylinder lock opened facing the outer surface of the grab rail.

Abstract: A saddle-ride type vehicle prevents attachment accuracy from causing influence on assembly especially in a case of attaching lid opening levers to grab rails and attaching lid opening mechanisms to a vehicle body frame side separately from the lid opening levers Each lid opening lever is pivotally attached to a grab rail through a pivot center shaft. Each lid opening mechanism is bolted to a stay on an upper pipe 9a. The lid opening lever is provided with an engagement portion. A curved surface portion provided on an upper end portion of a bent protrusion a projecting upward from the lid opening mechanism is inserted in the engagement portion to vertically engage the lid opening lever and the lid opening mechanism with each other. In this way, the assembly can be done without being influenced by the attachment accuracy.

Abstract: In a vehicle whose tire is wholly covered from the left, right and back, a negative pressure area to the rear of the vehicle is reduced. In a vehicle including a left trunk and a right trunk in a rear portion of the vehicle, a rear fender continuous with respective rear faces of the left and right trunks is provided, and a plane formed of the respective rear faces of the left and right trunks and the rear fender is provided with negative pressure correction holes.
