- An opening 96 is formed at a position on the rear wall 93 side of the inner wall 92 above and below each fin 95 and between the fins 95. The opening 96 opens a part of the gap 62 to the outside of the cover (the inside and outside of the cover are communicated).
- a pair of screw insertion portions 97 are provided above and below the fixed flange 94.
- the upper and lower tapping bosses 98 (see FIGS. 7, 8, and 11) are provided so as to project rearward on the rear side of the left and right inner sides of the side edge notch 47 in the front center cover 32.
- the fixing flange 94 of the rubber cover 91 is secured to the side edge notch portion 47 of the front center cover 32 by screwing and tightening the tapping screws B8 inserted through the screw insertion portions 97 from behind (inside the cover) into the respective tapping bosses 98. It is fastened and fixed to the left and right inside.
- the upper and lower screw insertion portion 97 is in contact with the upper and lower tapping boss 98 from behind (inside the cover).
- the protruding direction of the upper and lower tapping bosses 98 is substantially parallel to the direction in which the front center cover 32 is removed.
- a cover support stay 48 stands from the side cutout portion 47 of the front center cover 32. Accordingly, a slit-like insertion hole 99 is provided at the base end portion of the fixing flange 94 of the rubber cover 91 so as to extend between the upper and lower fins 95 in the vertical direction (see FIG. 10). The extending portion 48 a of the cover support stay 48 is inserted through the insertion hole 99.
- the left and right outer edges of the rubber cover 91 are only in close contact with the front side cover 33. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12B, the inner edge 92 and the rear wall 93 are blocked by the gap 62 by pinching the outer edge of the rubber cover 91 and elastically deforming the rubber cover 91 so as to turn forward and to the left and right. It is possible to retract from the position. Further, most of the gap 62 can be exposed and opened outside the cover. This state is referred to as a retracted state of the rubber cover 91.
- the fastening portion 49 (the cover fastening portion 74 and the cover support stay 48) located on the inner arc-shaped portion 61 side of the cover fastening flange on the inner peripheral side of the inner arc-shaped portion 61 is exposed to the outside of the cover.
- the tapping screw B7 in the fastening portion 49 can be attached and detached in the fastening direction (axial direction).
- the elastic deformation can be easily performed by forming the opening 96 in the rubber cover 91.
- the extending portion 48 a is along the fastening direction of the tapping screw B 7 in the cover support stay 48.
- the fastening structure of the vehicle front cover is the same as that of the fastening portion 49 between the front side cover 33 and the front center cover 32 constituting the front cover 31 of the motorcycle 1.
- a part of the front center cover 32 overlaps the side cover 33 from the outside of the cover, and this overlapped portion is used as a fastening portion 49 between the covers 32 and 33, and both are attached by tapping screws B7 inserted into the fastening portion 49 from the outside of the cover.
- the covers 32 and 33 are fastened and fixed to each other.
- the front center cover 32 includes a rubber cover 91 that covers the fastening portion 49 from the outside of the cover when the covers 32 and 33 are fastened to each other. And this rubber cover 91 changes so that it can restore
- the attaching / detaching operation with respect to the fastening portion 49 can be easily performed by changing the rubber cover 91 from the shielding state to the retracted state at the time of attaching / detaching the tapping screw B7. Furthermore, both covers 32 and 33 are easy to fasten. On the other hand, after the covers 32 and 33 are fastened and fixed to each other with the tapping screw B7, the rubber cover 91 can be returned to the shielding state to cover the fastening portion 49 from the outside of the cover. And the exposure of the tapping screw B7 to the outside of the cover can be suppressed so that the appearance of the front cover 31 is not impaired.
- the tapping screw B7 can be attached and detached simply by elastically deforming the rubber cover 91 (elastic member) from the shielded state to the retracted state. Is possible.
- the fastening portion 49 can be covered from the outside of the cover only by restoring the elastic deformation of the rubber cover 91. In this way, the appearance of the front cover 31 can be easily ensured. Further, the front cover 31 can be easily attached and detached at the time of assembling the front cover 31 to the vehicle body or during maintenance after the vehicle is completed.
- the rubber cover 91 is attached to the front center cover 32 from the inside. As a result, the rubber cover 91 is attached to the inside of the front center cover 32 located outside the cover at the overlapping portion (fastening portion 49) of the covers 32 and 33. As a result, the attachment portion of the rubber cover 91 to the front cover 31 is not exposed to the outside of the cover. Further, the work of attaching the rubber cover 91 to the front cover 31 is not complicated. The rubber cover 91 can easily cover the fastening portion 49 where the covers 32 and 33 overlap from the outside of the cover.
- the fastening portion 49 includes a cover support stay 48 that extends from the front center cover 32 toward the front side cover 33.
- An insertion hole 99 for inserting the cover support stay 48 is formed in the rubber cover 91.
- the rubber cover 91 can be held using the cover support stay 48.
- the cover support stay 48 can be reduced in size compared to the case where the cover support stay 48 is provided so as to bypass the rubber cover 91. In this way, the overall configuration of the fastening portion 49 can be simplified.
- the cover support stay 48 includes an extending portion 48a substantially parallel to the fastening direction of the tapping screw B7.
- the extending portion 48 a is inserted through the insertion hole 99 of the rubber cover 91.
- the movement allowance in the fastening direction of the tapping screw B7 can be provided in the rubber cover 91.
- the elastic deformation allowance of this rubber cover 91 increases, and it becomes easier to perform fastening work.
- a movable shielding member such as a hinge type or a slide type may be provided on the front cover.
- the shielding member covering the fastening portion 49 may be supported by the front side cover 33 or may be supported across both the covers 32 and 33.
- the fastening portion 49 may be configured using normal bolts and nuts instead of the tapping screws B7.
- the configuration in the embodiment is an example of the present invention, and is applicable not only to a motorcycle but also to a three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- the fastening portion can be easily attached and detached by changing the shielding member from the shielding state to the retracted state during the attaching / detaching operation of the fastening member. And it can make it easier to fasten both cover members.
- the shielding member can be returned to the shielding state to cover the fastening portion from the outside of the cover. In this way, the appearance of the front cover can be favorably maintained while suppressing the exposure of the fastening member to the outside of the cover.
