Patent number: 9120521Abstract: A front cowl structure for a saddle riding type vehicle for preventing turbulence in a stream of air flowing over a front cowl surface. The front cowl structure includes a duct placed inside a front cowl with a duct opening that opens to the front of the vehicle. The front cowl has a cowl front surface opening at a leading end portion thereof for opening a cowl front surface. Headlights are disposed on both lateral sides of the cowl front surface opening with each having a lens surface. The lens surfaces form opening edge portions on both lateral sides of the cowl front surface opening. The lens surfaces are each inclined to a vehicle outer side and rearwardly from the opening edge portions. The duct opening and a cowl opening central portion of the cowl front surface opening are substantially aligned with each other in a vehicle longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Rui Maeda, Yoshinori Korogi, Shinsuke Yuki, Atsushi Takasaki, Shunji Yokokawa

Patent number: 9016421Abstract: In a motorcycle having an air intake passage guiding an air flow to an internal combustion engine is formed between an upper surface of a front fender and a bottom plate of a front cowl covering a head pipe from the front and disposed just above a front wheel. The cooling performance of a heat exchanger disposed behind the front wheel and in front of an engine body is improved with a decrease in the air resistance by lowering the position of the front cowl. At least a part of an air intake duct is disposed above a front fender for supplying the air guided from an air flow inlet provided on the front end portion of a front cowl to an inlet system of an internal combustion engine. At least a part of the air intake duct forming a rear air intake passage is contained in the front cowl.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Kontani, Yoshinori Korogi, Satoru Kubo, Takahiro Sano
