Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment will be described.

Since the speedometer 18 is mounted on the rear wall 11b of the handle crown 11 via the mounting bracket 24 so as to be located between the handle crown 11 and the fuel tank 9, the speedometer 18 is moved forward from the steering handle 5. Since the meter is not located, the field of view from the steering wheel to the front can be made clear, and the amount of movement of the line of sight can be made smaller than when a speedometer is arranged on the fuel tank.

Since the front portion of the speedometer 18 is arranged so as to wrap around the steering nut 14 for fixing the steering shaft 13, the speedometer 18 is located immediately near the steering shaft 13, and the steering handle 5 is moved. The moment of inertia when steering to the left and right can be reduced, and the steering performance can be improved accordingly.

The steering handle 5 is sandwiched between the mating surfaces 22c of the leg portions 22a and the cover portions 22b of the handle holder 22. When the speedometer 18 is viewed from the side of the vehicle, the steering surface of the mating surface 22c of the handle holder 22 is formed. Since the motorcycle 1 is disposed so as to fit below the rear extension line A, the motorcycle 1 can be easily and reliably fixed when the motorcycle 1 is packed for shipping. That is, at the time of such packing, the steering handle 5 is removed and the mating surface 2 of the handle holder 22 is removed.
The vehicle fixing device is attached to the portion 2c, and the speedometer 18 is set to fit below the mating surface 22c.
Is arranged, the interference between the fixing device and the speedometer 18 can be avoided, and the fixing operation described above can be easily and reliably performed.

Further, since the mating surface 22c of the handle holder 22 is formed to be lower than the upper surface 11d of the handle crown 11, a configuration in which the speedometer 18 is disposed below the extension line A of the mating surface 22c can be easily realized. Can,
Further, the field of view from the steering handle 5 to the front can be further refreshed.

The speedometer 18 of the present embodiment has the leading edge 1
8g coincides with the steering shaft 13, and when the steering handle 5 is turned, the speedometer 18 is also turned,
The front side of the rotation locus of the end point 18h is a speedometer rotation area. Therefore, even if the speedometer 18 is set to have a circular shape slightly larger than the rotation area of the speed indicator 32a, the speedometer rotation area becomes a dead space in which other in-vehicle components cannot be fixedly installed. In the present embodiment, the rear line 18i of the speedometer 18 has a shape along the rotation locus of the rear end point 18h, and the speedometer 18 has a substantially elliptical or rhombic shape as a whole including the dead space, and corresponds to the dead space. The indicator lamps 31a to 31c described above are provided in the portions.
The dead space can be effectively used.

Further, since the tachometer 17 and the speedometer 18 are separately arranged on the front side and the rear side of the steering handle 5, a space for disposing the speedometer 18 and the tachometer 17 can be easily secured, and the characteristics of each meter can be improved. Can be laid out according to the position. That is, since the display state of the tachometer 17 changes rapidly according to the increase and decrease of the engine speed, it is desirable to arrange the tachometer 17 at a position that is as easily visible as possible. On the other hand, the display state of the speedometer 18 changes so quickly. Instead, the layout described above meets these requirements.

Further, since the tachometer 17 has a band graph-shaped rotation speed display 27a extending in the vehicle width direction, the vehicle front-rear direction dimension or the vertical direction dimension of the entire tachometer 17 can be reduced. It is possible to respond to the above-mentioned request to make the field of view clear. Further, since all the indicator lamps are arranged on the speedometer 18, there is no need to arrange these indicator lamps on the tachometer side.
By making the tachometer 17 compact, the above-mentioned field of view can be further reduced.

Furthermore, since a common control unit 27g for controlling both the operation of the front tachometer 17 and the operation of the rear speedometer 18 is arranged in the front tachometer 17, it is arranged behind the handle crown 11 described above. The speedometer 18 can be made compact, and it is easy to secure a space when the speedometer 18 is arranged between the handle crown 11 and the fuel tank 9 and below the mating surface 22c of the handle holder 22.

Further, the wire harness is connected to the tachometer 17 and the like after the coupler connection in the light housing 35, but the control unit 27g is installed in the housing of the tachometer 17 disposed immediately above the light housing 35. The arrangement allows the length of the wire harness to be reduced.

A lead wire 26 from the control unit 27g in the tachometer 17 to the speedometer 16 is routed under the handle crown 11, and further, a stepping motor 32 in the speedometer 16 and the like in the cover portion 18b. As a result, the lead wire 26 can be hardly seen from the outside, and the appearance can be improved.

Since the headlight 16 is mounted on the handle crown 11 via the meter housing 28 of the tachometer 17 disposed in front of the handle crown 11, the number of parts can be reduced by the amount that a dedicated mounting stay is unnecessary. At the same time, the headlight 16 and the meter housing 28 can be easily integrated in design, and a sense of design integration in a portion in front of the steering handle 5 can be ensured. In particular, the headlight housing 35 is
And left and right extensions 35b extending from the left and right sides of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction to the meter housing 28 side.
When viewed from the side of the vehicle, the main body 3 of the meter housing 28 and the light housing 35 is formed by the left and right extensions 35b.
5a can be covered, and the above-described design sense of unity can be realized more reliably.

Further, the left and right extensions 35b move the switch housing 33b of the main switch 33 to the left and right positions.
Since it is covered from the right side, the above-mentioned design sense of unity can be ensured and the anti-theft effect can be obtained. That is, a switch is housed at the lower end of the main switch 33, and necessary wiring is generally connected to the main switch 33, and there has been a problem that the engine is illegally started by changing the connection state of the wiring from outside. In the present embodiment, the above-described left and right extension portions 35b cover the wiring connection portions from the left and right, so that the above-described problem such as the incorrect starting can be avoided.

The meter housing 28 has a two-piece structure of an upper case 29 having a divergent shape, and a lower case 30 which is connected to the maximum diameter portion of the upper case 29 and covers a portion below the maximum diameter portion from the side. Therefore, it is possible to realize a structure in which a gap between the meter housing 28 and the headlight 16 is filled while facilitating die cutting when the meter housing 28 is made of, for example, aluminum die-cast. Further, the lower edge 30a of the lower case 30 is
