  • Patent number: 8196696
    Abstract: A vehicle frame structure includes a central frame member, extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a central portion of a body frame. The central frame member includes a front end joined to a second front cross pipe, and a rear end joined to a second lower crossmember behind the second front cross pipe. When viewed from the side, the central frame member extends in a substantially straight line along with the left and right front reinforcing pipes. The front end portion of the central frame member is joined to the second front cross pipe at a position inwardly of a joint between the left front reinforcing pipe and the second front cross pipe, and inwardly of a joint between the right front reinforcing pipe and the second front cross pipe. Such frame structure lowers level of a center of gravity of the vehicle, and enhances rigidity.

  • Patent number: 6905160
    Abstract: A motorcycle having a front cowl provided at a front of the vehicle body is provided with a windscreen attached thereto. The front cowl is curved so as to project toward the front of the vehicle body and is mounted in a posture so as to extend toward the rear. A mounting plane inclined upward toward the rear is formed on the front surface of the front cowl, and the windscreen extends upwardly from the front cowl and is secured to the mounting plane with bolts so as to be capable of adjustment in the vertical direction. The aforementioned structure permits the mounting of the windscreen to the front cowl so as to be capable of adjustment in the vertical direction and to achieve a desirable windproofing effect. This structure enables the upper end of the windscreen to be moved linearly in the vertical direction and in the fore-and-aft direction.
