Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a motorcycle, and more particularly to a structure for attaching a rear handle cover having a meter assembly and a front handle cover having a headlight assembly to a handlebar component.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one mode of a motorcycle, there is a vehicle type in which a front handlebar component A is covered with a front handlebar cover B and a rear handlebar cover C as shown in FIG. A headlight assembly D is screwed to the front handle cover B, while a meter assembly E is screwed to the rear handle cover C.
Further, the front handle cover B and the rear handle cover C are attached to the handlebar component A via screws S1 and S2, respectively, and the covers B and C are assembled to each other via screw S3. ing.

[0003]

By the way, the above-mentioned handle covers are generally made of a resin molded product for the purpose of weight reduction, while the headlight assembly D using a glass lens is heavy in weight. Assembling the front handle cover B, to which the headlight assembly D is attached, to the rear handle cover C is insufficient in mounting strength. Therefore, as shown in the drawing, a huge and complicated bracket A2 is formed on the handlebar A1 of the handlebar component A, and the front handle cover B and the rear handle cover C are attached to the bracket A2 via a screw S4. Assembling is secured by tightening. However, in the above-described conventional configuration, there is a disadvantage that not only the bracket A2 causes an increase in weight but also the manufacturing cost increases as the bracket A2 is formed. In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a motorcycle that can secure the mounting strength of each handle cover without increasing the manufacturing cost or weight.

[0004]

Therefore, in the present invention, the rear handle cover and the meter assembly are fastened together with the handlebar component, and the front handle cover is fastened together with the rear handle cover and the meter assembly.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the front handle cover is supported by the handle bar component via the meter assembly and the rear handle cover. Therefore, the bracket for supporting the front handle cover on the handle bar component is provided. Sufficient assembly strength can be obtained without forming.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment. In the motorcycle according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1, a handlebar component 1, and a front handle cover 2 and a rear handle cover 3 that cover a front region and a rear region of the handlebar component 1.
The basic configuration is similar to that of the conventional motorcycle.

A headlight assembly (not shown) is attached to the front handle cover 2, while a meter assembly 4 such as a speedometer and a fuel gauge is attached to the rear handle cover 3. There is.

A lower bracket 4a is formed in the lower portion (edge portion on the passenger side) of the meter assembly 4, and further left and right side portions and an upper portion (edge portion on the vehicle forward side) of the meter assembly 4. ) In side brackets 4b, 4b and upper brackets 4c, 4c, respectively.
The meter assembly 4 is fixed to the rear handle cover 3 by a screw 5A penetrating the lower bracket 4a.

On the other hand, the above handlebar component 1
Has a steering bar 1a and a handle bar 1b, and the rear handle cover 3 is fixed to the steering bar 1a with a screw 5B. Further, the steering bar 1a includes brackets 1c,
1c is formed, and this bracket 1c, 1c,
Side bracket 4 in the above-mentioned meter assembly 4
The rear handle cover 3 and the meter assembly 4 are fastened together with the handlebar component 1 by screws 5C and 5C passing through b and 4b.

On the other hand, a headlight assembly (not shown) is attached to the front handle cover 2 as described above, and a pair of brackets 2b and 2b are formed on the upper edge portion 2a. The front handle cover 2 is fixed to the steering bar 1a of the handlebar component 1 with a screw 5D, and the meter assembly is screwed through screw holes 3b and 3b formed in the upper edge of the rear handle cover 3. 4, the rear handle cover 3 and the meter assembly 4 are fastened together by screws 5E, 5E which penetrate the upper brackets 4c, 4c of 4 and are screwed to the pair of brackets 2b, 2b. The lower part of the front handle cover 2 and the lower part of the rear handle cover 3 are assembled to each other via a screw (not shown) as in the conventional motorcycle.

The rigidity of the rear handle cover 3 is increased by fixing the meter assembly 4 with the screws 5A, 5C, and 5E. Therefore, the rear handle cover 3 provides the headlight assembly. The front handle cover 2 thus formed can be sufficiently supported, and thus sufficient mounting strength can be obtained. From a different perspective, the meter assembly 4 is attached to the handlebar 1b of the handlebar component 1 via the screw 5C and attached to the front handle cover via the screw 5E. That is, the front handle cover 2 is configured to be supported by the handle bar component 1 via the meter assembly 4, and the meter assembly 4 has high rigidity as compared with each handle cover. The front handle cover 2 provided with the assembly is reliably supported, and thus sufficient mounting strength can be obtained.

[0012]

As described above in detail, according to the motorcycle of the present invention, the rear handle cover and the meter assembly are fastened together with the handle bar component, and the front handle cover and the meter are assembled together. Since it is fastened together with the assembly, the front handle cover is supported by the handlebar component via the meter assembly and the rear handle cover. As a result, sufficient assembly strength can be obtained without forming a bracket for supporting the front handle cover on the handlebar component, and thus, the assembly of each handle cover can be performed without increasing manufacturing cost and weight. It has become possible to secure the attachment strength.
