Patent number: 10351197Abstract: A front cowling covers a front portion of a motorcycle, and a headlamp is mounted to the front cowling. The front cowling includes a lamp cowling part and a pair of left and right inner cowling parts. The lamp cowling part and the pair of inner cowling parts are integrally formed by molding. The lamp cowling part includes a lamp opening that allows a front surface of the headlamp to face outside. The inner cowling parts are coupled to inner sides of front portions of side cowlings, and guide incoming wind to a radiator.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Motoki Kaji

Patent number: 10308305Abstract: An improved structure for mounting a luggage basket on a vehicle body of a two-wheeled vehicle or the like is provided. Mounting portions for detachably mounting a luggage basket on any mounting place (a desired position on the vehicle body such as a pannier stay) of the vehicle body are formed on the luggage basket. The mounting portions are formed on both left and right sides of the luggage basket mounted on the vehicle body respectively. With such the configuration, one kind of the luggage basket having one same shape can be mounted on either the left side or the right side of the vehicle body. That is, it is unnecessary to prepare luggage baskets having different shapes corresponding to the left and the right sides of the vehicle body and hence, the number of parts can be reduced, and thereby a manufacturing cost can be lowered.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shigeyuki Iwata, Motoki Kaji
