  However, for example, in a motorcycle in which mufflers are disposed on both sides of the vehicle body, when the passenger gets on the vehicle sideways, the passenger's clothing may be soiled by exhaust gas from the muffler.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a motorcycle dress guard capable of protecting passenger's clothing from exhaust gas.

  In order to achieve the above object, a motorcycle dress guard according to the present invention is a dress guard attached to a motorcycle having a muffler on at least one side of the rear part, and the dress guard on the one side of the passenger seat A first guard body is provided above the muffler, and an outer edge portion of the first guard body is located on the outer side of the vehicle body than the muffler.

  According to this configuration, the dress guard includes the first guard body positioned above the muffler, and the outer edge portion of the first guard body is positioned on the outer side of the vehicle body than the muffler. As a result, even when the passenger rides sideways, the exhaust gas from the muffler passes under the passenger's clothes and legs, so that the passenger's clothes and legs are protected from the exhaust gas. In addition, since the first guard body is located above the muffler, it is difficult for the passenger and his / her clothes to contact the muffler when riding horizontally.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that an outer edge portion of the first guard body is located below a grip portion of a side grip supported by a rear frame of the motorcycle. According to this configuration, it is easy for the passenger to get on while holding the side grip, so that the posture of the passenger who got on the side ride is stabilized.

  In the present invention, the front part of the dress guard is supported by a passenger step on which a passenger of a motorcycle is placed or a support part of the passenger step, and a part is supported by a support provided on the lower surface of the rear fender. Preferably it is. According to this configuration, since the first guard body is supported by the vehicle body at the front portion and the rear portion, the support of the dress guard is stabilized. Further, since the passenger step is located in the vicinity of the front part of the muffler and the dress guard, it is not necessary to separately provide a bracket, and the front part of the dress guard can be supported.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the outer edge part of the said 1st guard body is extended horizontally in the front-back direction. According to this configuration, since the outer edge portion of the first guard body extends horizontally in the front-rear direction, the outer edge portion of the first guard body can be easily disposed on the outer side of the vehicle body above the muffler.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the dress guard is supported by a rear frame of the motorcycle together with a side grip using a common fastening member. According to this configuration, the number of fastening members is reduced and the number of assembly steps is also reduced. Further, since the dress guard can be supported without applying extra processing to the vehicle body side, the strength and rigidity of the vehicle body are not lowered, and the appearance is good. Furthermore, since the support part of the existing side grip is used, it is possible to easily switch to a model without a dress guard by removing the dress guard.

  The present invention further includes a reinforcing body that is supported by a rear frame of the motorcycle and a support body provided on a lower surface of the rear fender and reinforces the first guard body, and the reinforcing body is disposed in front of the first guard body. A front / rear connecting member that connects the upper end of the rear part and an upper end of the rear part, a rear connecting member that connects the rear part of the front / rear connecting member and the support, and a reinforcing base located inside the vehicle body of the first guard body Preferably, the reinforcing base member has two front end portions connected to the front portion and the rear portion of the front / rear connecting member, and a bottom portion substantially parallel to the front / rear connecting member. . The first guard body projects outward from the vehicle body and has a shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and a load is applied obliquely downward on the inside of the vehicle body when the legs of a passenger in a sideways state are hung. According to this structure, since the front part and the rear part of the 1st guard body are reinforced from the vehicle body inner side by the reinforcement body, it can suppress effectively that a 1st guard body falls to the vehicle body inner side diagonally downward.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that a second guard body disposed on the one side of the rear wheel is connected to the first guard body via an elastic body. According to this structure, a dress guard consists of a 1st guard body and a 2nd guard body, and both guide bodies are connected via the elastic body. Thus, the first guard body protects the passenger's clothes and legs from the exhaust gas, and the second guard body can prevent the passenger's clothes from interfering with the rear wheel.

  If the dress guard is constructed as a single piece, one part becomes large, making manufacture, transportation and storage difficult, and also mounting and dismounting from the vehicle body takes time. In addition, since the first guard body is a part that is fixed to the vehicle body and on which the passenger's legs are hung, high rigidity is required. On the other hand, a 2nd guard body is a site | part which prevents interference of a passenger's clothing and a rear wheel, and rigidity may be low compared with a 1st guard body. Since the dress guard has a two-piece structure composed of the first and second guard bodies, the material, outer diameter, plate thickness, etc. of the members can be changed according to the strength required for each guard body. The dress guard can be reduced in size and weight as compared with the case of the above.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that a footrest having a horizontal upper surface is detachably attached to a passenger step on which a passenger of a motorcycle is placed. According to this configuration, the inner side of the side of the side passenger in the vicinity of the knee is hung on the first guard body and the sole of the foot is placed on the footrest, so that the posture of the passenger is stabilized and the feet are not tired.

  According to the dress guard for a motorcycle of the present invention, the exhaust gas from the muffler passes under the passenger's clothes and legs, so that the passenger's clothes and legs are protected from the exhaust gas.

Thereby, the bottom part 60 of the reinforcing base material 50 is fixed to the connecting member 84, and the reinforcing base material 50 and the second guard body 36 are connected via the elastic body 40.

  According to the above configuration, the first guard body 34 of the dress guard 30 shown in FIG. 3 is located above the muffler 15, and the outer edge 34 c of the first guard body 34 is located on the outer side of the vehicle body than the muffler 15. ing. As a result, even when the passenger rides sideways, the exhaust gas G (FIG. 1) from the muffler 15 passes under the passenger's clothes and legs, so that the passenger's clothes and legs are removed from the exhaust gas G. Protected.

  Further, the outer edge portion 34 c of the first guard body 34 is located below the grip portion 24 of the side grip 20. Therefore, since it is easy for the passenger to get on the vehicle while holding the side grip 20, the posture of the passenger who got on the side ride is stabilized.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the rear part of the motorcycle is inclined downward toward the front, so that when the passenger gets on the vehicle sideways, the passenger's posture tends to be forward. In the present embodiment, since the outer edge portion 34c of the first guard body 34 extends horizontally in the front-rear direction, the passenger's posture becomes closer to the front by placing the leg on the outer edge portion 34c of the first guard body 34. This alleviates and maintains the passenger's posture.

  The front portion of the upper end portion of the dress guard 30 is supported by the rear frame 2 together with the side grip 20 using a bolt 25 that is a common fastening member. As a result, the number of bolts 25 is reduced and the number of assembly steps is also reduced. In addition, since the outer edge portion 34c of the first guard body 34 and the supported portion 22 of the side grip 20 are arranged so as to be displaced in the vertical direction, the outer edge portion 34c of the first guard body 34 obstructs the fastening operation of the bolt 25. do not become.

  The lower front portion of the dress guard 30 is supported by a support portion 69 of the passenger step stay 28, and the rear portion is supported by a support body 45 provided on the lower surface of the rear fender 18. Thus, since the dress guard 30 is supported by the vehicle body at the front and the rear, the support of the dress guard 30 is stabilized. Thus, since the dress guard 30 is attached using the existing stay, support, etc., it is possible to easily switch to the model without the dress guard by removing the dress guard 30.

  The first guard body 34 protrudes outward from the vehicle body and has a shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and a load is applied obliquely downward on the inside of the vehicle body when the legs of the passenger in a sideways state are hung. In the above configuration, the reinforcing body 38 (46, 48, 50) that is supported by the vehicle body and reinforces the first guard body 34 is provided, and the upper end portion of the front portion and the upper end portion of the rear portion of the first guard body 34 are provided by the reinforcing body 38. The part is reinforced from the inside of the car body. Thereby, since the front part and the rear part of the 1st guard body 34 are reinforced by the reinforcement body 38 from the vehicle body inner side, it can suppress effectively that the 1st guard body 34 falls to the vehicle body inner side diagonally downward.

  Further, a second guard body 36 that covers the outer side of the rear wheel 8 is connected to the first guard body 34 and the reinforcing body 38 via an elastic body 40. Thus, the first guard body 34 protects the passenger's clothes and legs from the exhaust gas G, and the second guard body 36 can prevent the passenger's clothing from interfering with the rear wheel 8.

  If the dress guard 30 is configured as a single body, the upper end portion is configured by a single member that is supported in the vertical direction and is long in the vertical direction. According to the above configuration, the dress guard 30 has a two-piece structure including the first and second guard bodies 34 and 36, and both guide bodies 34 and 36 are connected via the elastic body 40. Therefore, vibration from the vehicle body can be prevented from being transmitted to the second guard body 36, and the amplitude of the dress guard 30 can be reduced. In addition, if the dress guard 30 is formed as a single piece, one part becomes large, making it difficult to manufacture, transport, and store, and to attach and remove it from the vehicle body.

  Since the first guard body 34 is a part that is fixed to the vehicle body and on which the passenger's legs are hung, high rigidity is required. On the other hand, the second guard body 36 includes the passenger's clothing and the rear wheel 8. This is a part that prevents interference, and the rigidity may be lower than that of the first guard body 34. In the above configuration, the dress guard 30 has a two-piece structure composed of the first and second guard bodies 34, 36, so that the material, outer diameter, and plate of the members are selected according to the strength required for each guard body 34, 36. Since the thickness and the like can be changed, the dress guard 30 can be reduced in size and weight as compared with a case where the dress guard 30 is formed as a single body.

  In the above-described embodiment, the outer edge portion 34c of the first guard body 34 extends horizontally in the front-rear direction, but it may extend so as to be inclined forward and downward along the rear portion of the vehicle body. In this case, the passenger's posture is closer to the front, but the posture can be stabilized by placing the foot on the step 26. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, a footrest 100 having a horizontal upper surface may be detachably attached to an attachment portion 95 to which the step 26 in the step stay 28 is attached. On the footrest 100, one or both feet of a passenger who rides sideways are placed. If necessary, a heat guard may be provided on the footrest 100 to protect the foot from the heat of the muffler 15.

  According to this configuration, the inner side in the vicinity of the knee of the side passenger can be hung on the first guard body 34 and the sole of the foot can be placed on the footrest 100. As a result, the passenger's posture is stabilized and the feet are not tired.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various additions, modifications, or deletions can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, when sufficient support strength of the first guard body 34 is ensured, the reinforcing body 38 may not be provided. In that case, the first guard body 34 is directly supported by the vehicle body. Further, the muffler 15 may be disposed on one side where the dress guard 30 is disposed, and may not be disposed on both sides. Therefore, such a thing is also included in the scope of the present invention.
