  • Patent number: 9381965
    Abstract: A structure for a headlight cowl for reducing the difference in steering feeling between the starting of a pivotal motion and a succeeding pivotal motion when the handlebar is pivoted so that the driver is less likely to have an uncomfortable feeling. The structure of a headlight cowl includes a steering apparatus supported for pivotal motion on a head pipe at a front end of a vehicle body frame and operable to turn a front wheel in accordance with a steering operation by a driver. A headlight cowl includes left and right side faces for covering the left side and the right side of a headlight provided on a front face of an upper portion of the steering apparatus and for guiding a flow of air to flow rearwardly. The headlight cowl includes projections that individually project outwardly in a vehicle widthwise direction from the left and right side faces.
