Description

The present invention relates to a front cowl structure of a saddle-riding vehicle.

Conventionally, in the front cowl structure of a saddle-riding vehicle, a resin molded stay (headlight bracket) that supports the headlight, a single front cowl (main cowl) that covers the outer circumference of the headlight, and the left and right sides of the front cowl. It is known that a pair of side covers (sub cowls) for connecting a front cowl and a stay is provided on the front cowl (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Since the stay needs to have high rigidity, in Patent Document 1, the stay extends up and down so as to hang on the top bridge and the bottom bridge while changing the surface shape, and supports the headlight from the rear. Further, the front cowl is formed in a shape that covers the headlight and the outer periphery of the stay so as to hide the stay, and engages with the stay to increase the rigidity of the stay. Further, in Patent Document 1, the fastening portion of the headlight is hidden by the side cover to improve the appearance.
