  Referring to FIG. 18, when the circumferential groove 66 of the elastic member 60 is engaged with a predetermined position of the mounting hole 59, the engagement protrusion 67 is sandwiched and held between the pair of holding protrusions 81. . At this time, the end surface on the radially outer side of the engaging protrusion 67 is in contact with the center surface 80 sandwiched between the pair of holding protrusions 81, and the holding protrusions 81 are in contact with both side surfaces of the engaging protrusion 67.

  According to this configuration, the elastic member 60 and the attachment hole 59 are engaged with each other by the engagement relationship between the engagement protrusion 67 and the holding protrusion 81, and the winker lamp 11 is positioned outside the vehicle width direction while positioning the both. When an external force is applied, the engagement state between the elastic member 60 and the mounting hole 59 can be easily released. As a result, when an external force is applied to the winker lamp 11 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, the winker lamp 11 is likely to sink inside in the vehicle width direction, and the winker lamp 11 can be protected.

  As described above, according to the winker lamp mounting structure for a saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present invention, the mounting hole 59 of the winker lamp 11 is formed in the exposed portion 58 of the inner panel 50 that is not covered by the front cowl 13 when viewed from the side of the vehicle body. Therefore, when the turn signal lamp 11 is removed, the mounting hole 59 is not conspicuous and the appearance of the motorcycle 1 can be maintained, and the mounting hole can prevent the cowling rectifying effect from changing.

  In addition, since the winker lamp 11 is supported by the mounting hole 59 via the elastic member 60 and the elastic member 60 is formed with a circumferential groove 66 that engages with the mounting hole 59, the winker lamp 11 is elastically formed. By supporting with the member 60, it becomes possible to protect the blinker lamp 11 from vibration. Furthermore, by adopting a configuration in which the circumferential groove 66 provided in the elastic member 60 is engaged with the attachment hole 59, the positioning of the elastic member 60 and the attachment / detachment to the attachment hole 59 are facilitated.

  The configuration of the motorcycle, the shape and structure of the front cowl, center cowl, and side cowl, the shape and structure of the inner panel, the shape and structure of the winker lamp, the shape and arrangement of the exposed part and the mounting hole, and the shape and arrangement of the protruding part , Shape and arrangement of upper opening and lower opening, configuration of meter device, shape of mounting hole and elastic member, shape and arrangement and number of engagement protrusion and holding protrusion, shape of recess and circumferential groove of elastic member, mounting hole The ratio of the size of the groove and the circumferential groove is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made. For example, the lighting body of the blinker lamp may use an incandescent bulb as a light source. In addition to the through hole, the mounting hole may be a bottomed recess having a screw hole. The blinker lamp mounting structure according to the present invention is not limited to a motorcycle, and can be applied to a three-wheel or four-wheel straddle-type vehicle having an inner panel behind a cowling that rectifies traveling wind.
