  • Steering damper mounting structure for a vehicle
    Patent number: 7857338
    Abstract: A steering damper ensures a wide longitudinal illumination range of a road surface when a light unit is provided and facilitates layout of parts and simplifies structure without degrading appearance. A steering damper mounting structure is provided for a vehicle, which includes a head pipe, a front fork, a fork bridge, and a steering damper. The steering damper is mounted on the fork bridge and the head pipe. The steering damper dampens a movement transmitted from a side of the front wheel to a handlebar. In this steering damper mounting structure, the steering damper is mounted to the head pipe and the top bridge and disposed on the side of the top bridge between the top bridge and the bottom bridge. Additionally, a light unit is disposed on the side of the bottom bridge between the top bridge and the bottom bridge.
