  • Patent number: 8006792
    Abstract: A vehicle cowl may comprise a receiving portion formed as a local depression, and one or more openings formed on sides of the receiving portion. The vehicle cowl may be configured to be disposed rearward of a front wheel of a vehicle, the one or more openings to face rearward and the local depression to extend rearward when the vehicle cowl is in place on the vehicle. The receiving portion may be configured to receive and/or deflect an object or substance splashed or thrown up by the front wheel, such as water, mud or road debris, in a position rearward of the front wheel. Moreover, air can flow through the one or more openings on the sides of the receiving portion, to cool heat-generating parts such as the radiator and engine. The vehicle may be a motorcycle.
