Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a rear view mirror to a cowling of a motorcycle.

[Prior Art] Generally, motorcycles are equipped with rearview mirrors for checking the rear.As shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-23039, for example, a conventional example of this is shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-23039. You can erect a support column facing upward and fix a back mirror to the upper end of the support support, or you can attach a support support to the front of the vehicle body frame and attach a rear mirror to the upper end of the support support as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-156359. There is a known structure in which the upper end of the handle extends to the front upper part of the handle, and a rear view mirror is fixed to this upper end.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Incidentally, in motorcycles, a cowling is provided to cover the front part of the vehicle body for the purpose of protecting the rider from wind and rain or reducing air resistance. However, when attempting to attach a rearview mirror to a motorcycle equipped with such a cowling using the conventional method described above, the following problems occur.

In other words, because the cowling, back mirror, and its support are provided separately, the sense of unity with the cowling is impaired, and the design effect is reduced.

Additionally, in order to avoid interference between the column and the cowling, careful consideration must be given to the layout of the column, which may lead to problems such as restrictions on the flexibility of setting the shape of the cowling or mounting the rearview mirror. .

Therefore, it has been desired to address these problems in the prior art, and the present invention is intended to solve these remaining problems in the prior art.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention aims to provide a structure for attaching a rearview mirror to the cowling of a motorcycle, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems. A cowling comprising: a cowling body that is attached to a vehicle body of a motorcycle; and a windscreen that has a fastening opening at a lower part and is attached to an upper part of the cowling body with a part thereof overlapped with the cowling body; A fastening hole is formed in the attachment portion of the back mirror attached to the side of the cowling, and the attachment portion of the back mirror is positioned on the outer surface of the wind screen, and the wind screen is positioned on the outer surface of the cowling body. , the back mirror and the windscreen are fastened together by inserting bolts into the fastening opening and the fastening hole, and are attached to the cowling body.

[Function] By having the structure for attaching the back mirror to the cowling of a motorcycle according to the present invention as described above, the cowling and the back mirror are integrated, thereby ensuring a design effect.

In addition, by attaching the rear mirror to the cowling, there is no need to consider the problem of interference between the two, increasing the degree of freedom in setting the rear mirror mounting position and the shape of the cowling, and eliminating the need for special stays for the rear mirror. It becomes possible. Furthermore, the windscreen can be fixed to the cowling body at the same time as the rear view mirror. Furthermore, since the back mirror is directly fixed to the cowling from above the windscreen, the length of the legs of the back mirror is shortened by the thickness of the wind screen in order to set the height of the back mirror to a desired height.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the structure for attaching a rearview mirror to the cowling of a motorcycle according to the present invention provides the following excellent effects.

By integrating the rear mirror into the cowling, interference between the two is avoided, increasing the degree of freedom in the installation position of the rear mirror, increasing the degree of freedom in setting the cowling shape, and ensuring a sense of unity between the cowling and the rear mirror. A good appearance can be obtained.

Furthermore, members such as a special stay for mounting the rearview mirror can be omitted.

Furthermore, the front and back surfaces of the windscreen are protected by the back mirror and the cowling body, thereby preventing deformation of the windscreen and suppressing its vibration.

In addition, the windscreen can be fixed to the cowling body at the same time as the rear view mirror, thereby making the assembly work more efficient.

In addition, since the back mirror is fixed directly to the cowling from above the windscreen, in order to set the back mirror to the desired height, that is, close to the passenger's eye level, the foot of the back mirror must be adjusted by the thickness of the windscreen. The length can be shortened.

Furthermore, when fixing both to the cowling body separately by, for example, providing a notch in the windscreen and passing the rearview mirror through the notch, a separate member is required to cover the notch for design reasons. In the present invention, the windscreen and back mirror are fastened together to fix them to the cowling, so there is no need for a member to cover the notch.

In addition, since the windscreen and the back mirror are fastened together to fix them to the cowling body, for example, a notch is provided in the windscreen and the back mirror is passed through the notch.
Compared to the case where both are fixed to the cowling body separately, there are fewer machining parts for the windscreen, and therefore, factors that impair overall accuracy can be reduced.
