  • Patent number: 9783256
    Abstract: The heat shielding structure includes a cowling for covering an outer side of at least a front portion of a combustion engine of a motorcycle and an ignition switch is disposed above a combustion engine and in the vicinity of the rear of a head pipe. A first heat shielding member covers at least rear and opposite side faces of the ignition switch to shield the heat raising from the combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 9663170
    Abstract: In a harness support structure for a motorcycle, a cable bracket is supported by a top bridge, and an upper lamp bracket for supporting a headlamp device is fitted to the cable bracket. A first holding portion for holding an intermediate portion of cable members having respective one end portion connected with a handle is provided in the cable bracket. The cable bracket is provided with a regulating portion for inhibiting a forward movement of the cable member at a location distant from a handle side rather than the first holding portion.

  • Patent number: 9446738
    Abstract: A motorcycle immobilizer amplifier mount structure that allows arrangement in the front portion of a motorcycle body to be simplified while reducing the size of an ignition switch, and prevents an immobilizer amplifier from being exposed to a high temperature of a combustion engine. In the immobilizer amplifier mount structure, immobilization signal output section is incorporated in an ignition switch unit, and the immobilizer amplifier amplifies an immobilization signal from the immobilization signal output section, and is mounted rearward of a cylinder head of the combustion engine on an inner surface of an intermediate portion, in a longitudinal direction, in a pair of left and right frame pieces forming a part of a motorcycle frame structure.

  • Patent number: 9434440
    Abstract: A supporting structure includes: a step stay which is mounted to a motorcycle frame structure and configured to support a foot step for a passenger; an unit supporting portion provided at the step stay and configured to support an operation unit for manually adjusting a characteristic of a rear wheel shock absorber; a pannier supporting portion provided at the step stay and configured to support a front portion of a pannier mounted to a side portion of a motorcycle body; and a tank supporting portion configured to support a reservoir tank for brake oil. The pannier is disposed rearward of the operation unit, and an operation portion of the operation unit is disposed at a position at which overlap of the operation portion with the step stay and the pannier is avoided as viewed from an outer lateral side.
