  Further, the auxiliary cover 70 is formed so that the lower part is wider than the upper part, and the attachment strength of the lower end part of the auxiliary cover 70 to the rear body cover 34A can be increased.

  Further, the auxiliary cover 70 made of synthetic resin is inserted into an engagement hole 76 provided in the rear vehicle body cover 34A, and a claw 75a that can engage with the inner surface of the rear vehicle body cover 34A projects at a right angle at the front end portion. The engaging arm portions 75 are provided integrally so as to be able to insert and remove the claws 75a into and from the engaging holes 76 by bending the engaging arm portions 75. The width W6 of the engagement hole 76 in the engagement / disengagement direction with respect to the rear body cover 34A is larger than the width (W4 + W5) along the engagement / disengagement direction of the engagement arm 75 including the claws 75a. It is set larger by 1 mm or more.

  As a result, the claws 75a can be inserted into and removed from the engagement holes 76 simply by bending the engagement arms 75, and the auxiliary cover 70 is assembled to the rear vehicle body cover 34A, and from the rear vehicle body cover 34A. The auxiliary cover 70 can be removed more easily, which can contribute to improvement in maintainability.

  Moreover, since the end portion 70b on the lens 56 side of the auxiliary cover 70 is formed in a convexly bent shape toward the rear, the space between the tail lamp 48 and the auxiliary cover 70 becomes difficult to be seen from the rear side of the vehicle, and the appearance is improved. Can contribute. In particular, in the structure in which the tail lamp 48 and the auxiliary cover 70 are not directly coupled, there is a possibility that the gap between the tail lamp 48 and the auxiliary cover 70 may become large, but this gap is formed at the end portion 70b of the auxiliary cover 70 on the lens 56 side. It can be effectively hidden.

  Further, the auxiliary cover 70 is formed in a substantially inverted U shape that opens downward, and a number plate 81 is fixed to a rear fender 80 that extends downward from the center of the rear part of the rear body cover 34A and covers the rear wheel WR from obliquely upward. Since the tail lamp 48 is configured to irradiate the number plate 81 side as well, the auxiliary cover 70 can be irradiated so that the light from the tail lamp 48 can be irradiated. The license plate 81 can be illuminated with a simple structure that does not require a lamp.

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. The parts corresponding to the first embodiment of FIGS. Description is omitted.

  A tail lamp 48 is attached to the rear vehicle body cover 34B including the left rear side cover 31B, the right rear side cover 32B, and the rear center cover 33B so that a part of the tail lamp 48 protrudes rearward. The left rear side cover 31B and the right rear side Rear blinkers 49 and 49 are attached to the cover 32B, respectively.

  The rear portions of the left rear side cover 31B and the right rear side cover 32B are spaced apart from each other, and a part of the rear center cover 33B is sandwiched between the rear portions of the left rear side cover 31B and the right rear side cover 32B.

  A recess 58B that is recessed forward is formed at the rear of the rear vehicle body cover 34B, and a support plate 59B that constitutes the closed end of the recess 58B so as to face the rear is a part of the rear center cover 33B. The support plate portion 59B is formed flat.

  Thus, the base member 55 of the tail lamp 48 is fastened to the support plate portion 59B, and the auxiliary cover 70 is also attached to the support plate portion 59B.

  According to the second embodiment, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained, and the support plate portion 59B is formed only on a part of the rear center cover 33B. The mounting portion can be unified with the rear center cover 33B, and the tail lamp 48 and the auxiliary cover 70 can be easily aligned as compared with the case of mounting on the support plate portion divided into the rear side covers 31B and 32B and the rear center cover 33B. The mounting error can also be reduced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the present invention described in the claims. Is possible.
