The outer peripheral edge portion 32a includes left and right front end edges 32b extending along the upper edges of the left and right lens openings 36 when viewed from the front of the vehicle, and left and right side edges 32c extending obliquely from the rear ends of the left and right front end edges 32b to the rear. The left and right front end edges 32b form the upper edges of the front portion 35 in a V-shape when viewed from the front of the vehicle. The left and right side edges 32c form the upper edges of the left and right side portions 37, respectively. The rear end edge portion between the rear ends of the left and right side edges 32c includes the rear end edges (first rear end edges 32d) of the left and right inclined upper portions 33 and the rear end edge (second rear end edges 32e) of the central raised portion 34. The second rear end edge 32e is formed to be raised upwards than the left and right first rear end edges 32d. A front wall portion 4e1 of a meter case 4e of a meter device 4d supported in front of the top bridge 4b is connected to the upper side of the second rear end edge portion 32e.

2 and 3 , the upper cover 41 is a synthetic resin molded part, and covers the left and right inclined upper parts 33 of the center cover 31 from the front and top. The upper cover 41 is divided into a pair of left and right split covers 42. Each split cover 42 is formed along the outer surface of the corresponding inclined upper part of the left and right inclined upper parts 33. Each split cover 42 has an outer shape that substantially overlaps with the corresponding inclined upper part of the left and right inclined upper parts 33. The left and right split covers 42 are separated from each other in the vehicle width direction. The central raised part 34 of the center cover 31 is exposed forward and upward between the inner side edges 42a of the left and right split covers 42 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction. The central raised part 34 protrudes forward and upward more than the left and right split covers 42 when viewed from the side of the vehicle. The central raised part 34 exposed forward and upward between the left and right split covers 42 is covered from the front and top by an instrument visor (hereinafter referred to as a visor) 51 that is separate from the headlight cover 30.

The left and right split covers 42 are respectively mounted on the front upper surface 32 (the inclined upper surface 33 on the same side of the left and right sides) of the center cover 31 by means of a locking structure such as hooking or insertion without using screws. Each inclined upper surface 33 is tilted so that the front is lower and the rear is higher when viewed from the side of the vehicle, and is tilted in such a way that the closer it is to the outside in the vehicle width direction, the lower it is located. Each split cover 42 is installed relative to the corresponding inclined upper surface 33 in such a way that it moves along the surface from the lower side to the upper side in the tilt direction. For example, the above-mentioned locking structure lists a structure that allows a protrusion such as a claw provided on one of the split covers 42 or the center cover 31 to be hooked or inserted into a recess, opening, etc. provided on the other side. A rubber gasket, a buffer material, etc. may also be provided on the side where the protrusion is inserted. The installation of the split covers 42 includes a locking structure without using screws, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the split covers 42.

The central side stopper 39, for example, includes a first stopper 39a near the front end of the inclined upper surface portion 33, a second stopper 39b at the rear of the inclined upper surface portion 33, and a third stopper 39c near the inner edge 33a of the inclined upper surface portion 33. A part of these multiple stopper portions may also include a stopper structure using screws. In this case, the stopper structure using screws can only suppress the movement of the stopper structure not using screws in the disengagement direction. By including the stopper structure using screws, the installation of the segmented cover 42 becomes more reliable.

The lower cover 45 is a synthetic resin molded part, and covers the lower surface 38 of the center cover 31 from below. The lower cover 45 includes a lower cover portion 45a that covers the lower surface 38 from below, and a pair of left and right side cover portions 45b that bend upward from the left and right side edges of the lower cover portion 45a and cover the left and right side portions 37 from the outer sides in the vehicle width direction.

The sun visor 51 is, for example, a transparent or translucent synthetic resin molded part, and is formed in a plate shape that covers the central raised portion 34 from the front upper side. The sun visor 51 is formed in a manner that the left and right widths are wider toward the rear side, and is curved in a manner that forms a ridgeline along the left and right center CL of the vehicle body. The sun visor 51 is attached to the front upper surface 32 of the center cover 31 via a pair of left and right sun visor brackets 55. The sun visor 51 may have an air guide port that guides a part of the running wind to the rear of the sun visor, for example, near the center.

Each sun visor bracket 55 is formed, for example, by bending a steel plate, etc. Each sun visor bracket 55 includes: a lower wall portion 56 along the front upper portion 32 of the center cover 31; a vertical wall portion 57 bent and extended forward and upward from the inner edge of the lower wall portion 56 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction; and an upper wall portion 58 extending from the upper end edge of the vertical wall portion 57 along the lower side (back side) of the sun visor 51 to the outer side in the vehicle width direction.

The lower wall portion 56 includes a pair of front and rear bracket lower fastening portions 56a. The front upper portion 32 of the center cover 31 includes a pair of front and rear cover side fastening portions 32f corresponding to the front and rear bracket lower fastening portions 56a. The front and rear bracket lower fastening portions 56a and the front and rear cover side fastening portions 32f are fastened and connected by lower bolts B3 inserted and removed from the normal direction of the front upper portion 32.

The front and rear bracket lower fastening parts 56a and the front and rear cover side fastening parts 32f are respectively located at the outer side or rearward of the left and right side edges of the sun visor 51 in the vehicle width direction when viewed from the fastening direction, so that the bolts B3 can be easily removed even when the sun visor bracket 55 is installed with the sun visor 51.

The upper wall portion 58 includes a pair of front and rear bracket upper fastening portions 58a. The left and right side portions of the sun visor 51 include a pair of front and rear sun visor side fastening portions 52 corresponding to the front and rear bracket upper fastening portions 58a. The front and rear bracket upper fastening portions 58a and the front and rear sun visor side fastening portions 52 are fastened and connected by upper bolts B4 that are detached from the normal direction of the left and right side portions of the sun visor 51.

By installing the left and right split covers 42 on the left and right inclined upper parts 33 of the front upper part 32, the front and rear bracket lower fastening parts 56a, the cover side fastening parts 32f and the lower bolts B3 are hidden and cannot be seen from the outside even when viewed from the outside (front and upper part). As a result, the exposure of various parts such as the fastening parts of the sun visor bracket 55 to the headlight cover 30 is suppressed, and the headlight cover 30 has a simple appearance. In addition, it is difficult for rainwater and foreign objects to contact during driving, and the degradation of the fastening parts is suppressed. For example, when the sun visor 51 is an optional component, even in the state without the sun visor 51 and the sun visor bracket 55, the cover side fastening parts 32f of the center cover 31 are hidden by the split covers 42, so that the unused cover side fastening parts 32f are not exposed to the outside.

Each sun visor bracket 55 is arranged so that the front-rear width direction of the plate-shaped vertical wall portion 57 is along the inner edge portion 42a of the left and right same side segmented cover 42. In the state where the left and right segmented covers 42 are respectively mounted on the left and right inclined upper surface portions 33, the left and right sun visor brackets 55 make the vertical wall portion 57 protrude from a position (a gap between the center cover 31 and the segmented cover 42) inward in the vehicle width direction close to the inner edge portion 42a of the left and right same side segmented cover 42. The gap between the center cover 31 and the segmented cover 42 can be a slit-shaped gap through which the plate-shaped vertical wall portion 57 can pass, and it can be inconspicuous even if the sun visor 51 and the sun visor bracket 55 are not provided.

The bracket lower fastening parts 56a, the cover side fastening parts 32f and the lower bolts B3 located at the front and rear of the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the vertical wall part 57 are arranged so as to be sandwiched between the left and right inclined upper parts 33 and the left and right split covers 42. The left and right split covers 42 are arranged at a position closer to the outer side in the vehicle width direction than the left and right sun visor brackets 55, so that the left and right split covers 42 can be easily detached even when the left and right sun visor brackets 55 and the sun visor 51 are kept installed.

4 and 5, at least a portion of the upper fastening portion (upper fastening portions 24, 27 and bolt B1) for fastening the upper portion of the lamp body 22 to the vehicle body is arranged between the front and rear bracket lower fastening portions 56a (here including the cover side fastening portion 32f and the bolt B3). Specifically, in the side view of the vehicle, the upper end portion of the upper fastening portion for fastening the upper portion of the lamp body 22 to the vehicle body is arranged in the area formed by linearly connecting the front and rear bracket lower fastening portions 56a. In the front view of the vehicle, the root portion of the front bracket lower fastening portion 56a and the upper fastening portion for fastening the upper portion of the lamp body 22 to the vehicle body are arranged to overlap each other.

In addition to the recessed portion or opening portion of the center side locking portion 39 for locking the split cover 42, the front upper surface portion 32 is also formed with an opening portion 32g for avoiding various convex shapes of the lamp body 22. The various recessed portions or opening portions including the opening portion 32g are hidden when the split cover 42 is installed, which has functionality and can also suppress the influence on the appearance.

As described above, the front cover structure of the motor two-wheeled vehicle 1 in the above embodiment is suitable for the motor two-wheeled vehicle 1 having a headlamp 21 at the front part of the vehicle body, and has a center cover 31 covering the headlamp 21, an upper cover 41 covering the upper part of the center cover 31 from above, a lower cover 45 covering the lower part of the center cover 31 from below, a sun visor 51 arranged above the upper cover 41, and a sun visor bracket 55 supporting the sun visor 51 on the upper part of the center cover 31, and a fastening portion (bracket lower fastening portion 56a, cover side fastening portion 32f and lower bolt B3) for fastening the sun visor bracket 55 to the center cover 31 is arranged at a position covered by the upper cover 41.

According to this structure, in the front panel structure in which the upper cover 41 overlaps with the upper part of the center cover 31 covering the lamp body 22 of the headlamp 21, the fastening portion where the sun visor bracket 55 supporting the sun visor 51 is fastened to the center cover 31 is arranged at a portion covered by the upper cover 41, so that even if the sun visor 51 is transparent or semi-transparent, the fastening portion of the sun visor bracket 55 to the center cover 31 is hidden from view by the upper cover 41. Therefore, the design of the front panel structure around the headlamp 21 can have a sense of unity and improve the appearance, and the weather resistance of the fastening portion can be improved by suppressing interference such as water intrusion to the fastening portion.

In the cowl structure of the motorcycle 1, the upper cover 41 is mounted to the center cover 31 via a plurality of mounting portions (center-side locking portions 39), and at least one of the plurality of mounting portions is a locking structure without using screws.

According to this structure, the plurality of mounting portions (center side locking portions 39) for mounting the upper cover 41 include a locking structure without using screws, thereby facilitating the attachment and detachment of the upper cover 41, and further facilitating the attachment and detachment of the sun visor 51 and the sun visor bracket 55.

In the cowl structure of the motorcycle 1 , the upper cover 41 is divided into a pair of left and right split covers 42 , and the sun visor bracket 55 protrudes upward from a gap between the pair of left and right split covers 42 .

According to this structure, the upper cover 41 is divided into a pair of left and right split covers 42, and the sun visor bracket 55 protrudes upward from between the left and right split covers 42, thereby making it easy to remove the left and right split covers 42 even when the sun visor bracket 55 and the sun visor 51 are kept installed.

In the cowl structure of the motorcycle 1, the locking structure is locked by the split cover 42 moving from the front and the outside in the vehicle width direction to the rear and the inside in the vehicle width direction relative to the center cover 31.

According to this structure, as the upper cover 41 moves from the front and the outside in the vehicle width direction toward the rear and the inside in the vehicle width direction relative to the center cover 31, the locking structure of the upper cover 41 is put into a locked state. Therefore, with respect to the running wind from the front of the vehicle, the wind from the outside in the vehicle width direction when the vehicle tilts left or right, etc., the locking structure of the upper cover 41 can be maintained in a locked state without going against the direction of the wind, and a reliable locking structure can be achieved with a simple structure.

In the front enclosure structure of the above-mentioned motor two-wheeled vehicle 1, a portion of the above-mentioned center cover 31 is exposed to the front of the vehicle from between the inner edge portions 42a of the above-mentioned pair of left and right split covers 42 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, and when observed from the front view of the vehicle, the outer side portion of the above-mentioned sun visor 51 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction overlaps with the inner side portion of the above-mentioned pair of left and right split covers 42.

According to this structure, the outer side of the sun visor 51 disposed above the upper cover 41 in the vehicle width direction overlaps with the inner side of the pair of left and right split covers 42 when viewed from the front of the vehicle, so that the entire exposed portion of the center cover 31 between the pair of left and right split covers 42 can be covered by the sun visor 51. Therefore, it is difficult for the running wind to enter between the pair of left and right split covers 42 from the front of the vehicle, and the aerodynamic effect caused by the running wind flowing between the pair of left and right split covers 42 can be suppressed.

In the front enclosure structure of the above-mentioned two-wheeled motor vehicle 1, the above-mentioned fastening connection parts (the lower fastening connection part 56a of the bracket, the hood side fastening connection part 32f and the lower bolt B3) are provided as at least a front and rear pair, and when viewed from the side of the vehicle, a second fastening connection part (upper fastening connection parts 24, 27 and bolt B1) for fastening the above-mentioned headlight 21 to the vehicle body is arranged between the front and rear pair of the above-mentioned fastening connection parts.

According to this structure, a second fastening portion for fastening the headlight 21 to the vehicle body is arranged between a pair of front and rear fastening portions for fastening the sun visor bracket 55 to the center cover 31, thereby making the fastening point of the headlight 21 and the fastening point of the sun visor bracket 55 close to each other, thereby improving the fastening workability.

In the cowl structure of the motorcycle 1, at least one of the pair of front and rear fastening portions (the front fastening portion) overlaps with the second fastening portion in a front view of the vehicle.

According to this structure, the fastening portion that fastens the sun visor bracket 55 to the center cover 31 and the second fastening portion that fastens the headlight 21 to the vehicle body overlap with each other when viewed from the front of the vehicle, thereby making the fastening point of the headlight 21 and the fastening point of the sun visor bracket 55 close to each other, thereby improving the fastening workability.

In the cowl structure of the motorcycle 1, an opening 32g is formed in the upper portion of the center cover 31, and the upper cover 41 is arranged to cover the opening 32g.

According to this structure, an opening portion 32g for avoiding the convex portion of the lamp body 22 is formed on the upper part of the center cover 31, and the opening portion 32g is covered by the upper cover 41. Therefore, the opening portion 32g is hidden by the upper cover 41 under normal circumstances to maintain the appearance, and the upper cover 41 is removed during operation to expose the opening portion 32g so that various operations can be performed, thereby improving convenience.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the front enclosure structure of the present embodiment can also be applied to straddle-type vehicles other than motorized two-wheeled vehicles. The above-mentioned straddle-type vehicles include all vehicles in which the driver straddles the vehicle body and rides, including not only motorized two-wheeled vehicles (including bicycles and scooters with prime movers), but also three-wheeled (including vehicles with two front wheels and one rear wheel in addition to one front wheel and two rear wheels) or four-wheeled (four-wheeled buggies, etc.) vehicles. In addition, it can also be applied to vehicles in which the prime mover includes an electric motor. It can also be applied to vehicles other than straddle-type vehicles (passenger cars, buses, trucks, etc.).

Furthermore, the configuration in the above-described embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the components of the embodiment may be replaced with well-known components, and various changes may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
