  • Patent number: 9714064
    Abstract: A windshield of a saddle-riding vehicle is adjustably vertically movable on a windshield support structure, which also suppress windshield rattling. An operating lever is connected to one of two windshield support members. A coupling member extends in a vehicle width direction, and includes end portions connected to left and right fixed rail brackets, which have guide slots formed therein and are pivotally movable about a first rotation axis. The coupling member is also connected to the windshield support members so as to be pivotally movable about a second rotation axis disposed forward of the first rotation axis. The windshield support members and the coupling member constitute parts of a link mechanism. A guide projecting portion is provided on at least one of the windshield support members, and this guide projecting portion is slidably fitted into the guide slot.
