FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the floor step 43 before fixing.
A plurality of fixed parts 43a are formed on the floor step 43, and the fixed parts 43a are fixed to the vehicle body frame 10 by bolts (not shown).
The whole of the floor step 43 is made of a metallic tone resin in which a powdery luster material is contained in a resin material as a base material. That is, the whole of the side surface cover portion 60 and the step portion 70 is integrally injection-molded with the metallic tone resin.

The metallic tone resin of the present embodiment is obtained by dispersing flake-like aluminum powder as a glitter material in PP resin as a base material.
The glittering material is not particularly limited as long as it has a function of imparting a metallic tone to the resin material to be a base material, and the material is not particularly limited, but the glittering material is, for example, a metal or an inorganic substance.
As the metal, for example, aluminum or an aluminum alloy is used, but nickel, chromium, iron, titanium, stainless steel or the like may be used. In addition, these metals may be colored with a pigment or the like.
The inorganic substance may be, for example, glass or mica, and may be a glass powder to which a metal is attached by plating or the like.
The shape of the glitter material powder is not particularly limited, and is, for example, flake-like or spherical.

Resin used as a base material of metallic tone resin is a synthetic resin, and the material is not particularly limited. For example, ABS resin, PP resin, PE resin, etc. are used.
The metallic tone resin has a metallic tone gloss having a metallic feeling by being mixed with particles having a metallic gloss. As a result, according to the metallic tone resin, it is possible to obtain a high-grade shaped article with a metallic tone and excellent in design without applying a coating to the shaped article.

The floor step 43 is disposed below the footrest portion 47a, and when the occupant straddles, it is easy to move the foot along the side cover portion 60. In addition, the floor step 43 is provided with a step unit 70, and a foot is taken on and off the step unit 70.
In the present embodiment, even if the foot gets on and off the step portion 70, the floor step 43 is made of a metallic tone resin, so that scratches and stains are less noticeable. In particular, the floor step 43 is made of metallic resin up to the inside. Even if the outer surface of the floor step 43 is scratched, the scratch is less noticeable than when the outer surface is finished by painting.
By forming the floor step 43 with a metallic tone resin, the appearance of the floor step 43 can be easily maintained in a good state.

In addition, the outer surface of the floor step 43 is embossed with water repellency. In the present embodiment, in the emboss processing, irregularities for emboss processing to impart water repellency are formed on the inner surface of a mold (not shown) of the floor step 43, and this mold (not shown) is used. By resin molding, it is possible to form a water-repellent emboss on the outer surface of the floor step 43.
In the metallic tone resin, when the resin is injected into the mold (not shown), the orientation of the flake-like bright material is biased according to the flow of the resin in the mold (not shown), so-called weld line In some cases, color unevenness may occur.
When emboss processing is performed, on the outer surface of the floor step 43, the unevenness of the emboss processing makes the weld line less noticeable. Therefore, in the present embodiment in which the metallic tone resin is subjected to emboss processing, in addition to the improvement of the appearance due to the emboss surface unevenness, the weld line of the metallic tone resin is made less noticeable, and the appearance of the floor step 43 can be further enhanced. ing.

Further, the outer surface of the floor step 43 can be made water repellant by embossing. Even if muddy water on the ground adheres to the floor step 43 via shoes etc., when water receives its own weight or traveling wind, water can easily move on the floor step 43 due to its water repellency, and falls from the floor step 43 It is easy to do. Thus, the floor step 43 is less likely to be soiled.
As emboss processing, as an example, emboss processing which forms a hairline tone pattern is possible. By forming a hairline tone pattern on the floor step 43, the floor step 43 made of a metallic tone resin looks like a metallic tone and the appearance is improved. Further, the water adhering to the floor step 43 can be easily guided along the hairline tone streak pattern. Therefore, by forming a hairline-patterned pattern extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle on the side surface cover portion 60 of the floor step 43, it is possible to easily guide the water receiving the traveling wind to the rear.

Further, the side surface cover portion 60 of the floor step 43 is located below the foot span portion 47a, and is disposed at a location straddling a so-called center tunnel. When the driver sitting on the front seat 13a places his or her foot in the step portion 70, the unevenness of the embossment of the side cover portion 60 tends to be a slip prevention for the foot. In the floor step 43, the floor guard 86 may be omitted. Therefore, when the floor guard 86 is omitted, the emboss formed in the step portion 70 tends to be a slip of the foot.

As described above, according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, in the floor step structure of the saddle-ride type vehicle provided with the resin floor step 43, the floor step 43 comprises a powdery luminous material. It is composed of metallic resin that contains. Therefore, scratches and dirt on the floor step can be made inconspicuous. Unlike paint, metallic tone resin is metallic tone to the inside, so it can be made inconspicuous even if scratched.

In the first embodiment, the outer surface of the floor step 43 is embossed with water repellency. Therefore, color unevenness due to the orientation of the glitter material contained in the metallic tone resin can be made less noticeable by emboss, and the appearance can be improved.
In the first embodiment, the side cover portion 60 of the floor step 43 extends outward in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle. Since the side cover portion 60 of the floor step 43 extends in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle, it is possible to extend the foot to the ground on the narrow side in the width direction without widely opening the foot. It is getting better.
