Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improvement in a front cowl of a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a motorcycle, a front portion of a frame is covered with a cowling so as to reduce wind resistance caused by running. In general, the cowling is divided into a front cowl, left and right side cowls, and a lower under cowl, and is provided by molding with a synthetic resin. A transparent plate screen is connected to the upper side of the front cowl.
Air inlets are opened on both sides of the front cowl, an air intake is welded inside, and an air pipe is inserted and connected to guide the wind received during traveling near the air cleaner. Further, a mounting piece is welded to the upper inside of the left and right side surfaces of the front cowl, and an upper panel is mounted on the mounting piece with a screw so as to close a gap between the front cowl and a fuel tank mounted on a front portion of the frame.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since an air intake and a mounting piece must be welded to the inside of the front cowl, the number of parts is increased, the welding time is increased, and the cost is increased.

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention provides a method in which a mounting piece is integrally formed with an air intake which is welded to an inside of an air inlet opening on the left and right sides of a front cowl, and an upper panel is fastened to the mounting piece. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a motorcycle front cowl having a small number of parts, a small processing time, and a low cost.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the motorcycle front cowl of the present invention has an air inlet opening at the side of the front cowl attached to the front end of the frame, and a mounting piece above the air intake. To form an integral part, weld the air intake to the inside of the air inlet, insert a nut into the mounting piece,
The reason is that the upper panel is overlapped on the mounting piece and fastened with screws.

[0006]

The upper panel can be fastened to a mounting piece integrally formed on the upper side of the air intake. Thus, only the air intake needs to be welded to the inside of the front cowl, so that the number of parts can be reduced, the welding work can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The front cowl 1 is manufactured by molding using a synthetic resin, and a screen 2 made of a transparent plate is connected to the upper edge. In addition, a headlamp is attached to the front opening 3 so that the headlamp can be seen. Then, the air inlet 4 is opened on the left and right side surfaces. Front cowl 1
A plurality of bolts are attached to a brace provided so as to protrude forward from the frame 5. The air intake 6 is molded with synthetic resin in accordance with the air inlet 4.
The mounting piece 7 is provided so as to be integrally formed by protruding upward. The air intake 6 is welded and combined with the inside of the air inlet 4. An air pipe 8 is inserted and connected to the rear end of the air intake 6 so as to guide the wind received during traveling to the vicinity of the air cleaner of the engine. A plate-shaped nut 9 bent into a V-shape is inserted into the mounting piece 7.
Then, an upper panel 11 for closing a gap between the front cowl 1 and a lower side of the fuel tank 10 mounted on the front upper portion of the frame 5 is fastened to the nut 9 of the mounting piece 7 with screws 12. Side cowls 13 are fastened and connected to lower left and right sides of the front cowl 1, and under cowls 14 are fastened and connected to lower edges of the left and right side cowls 13.

Since the upper panel 11 can be fastened to the mounting piece 7 projecting from the air intake 6, only the air intake 6 needs to be welded to the inside of the front cowl 1, the number of parts is small, and the welding work is small. it can.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, as described above, the upper panel can be mounted on the mounting piece integrally projecting from the air intake, and is welded to the inside of the front cowl. Parts can be reduced,
The number of parts is small, the welding work is also small, and the cost can be reduced.
