Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a rear fender for a motorcycle.

[Conventional technology]

In a motorcycle, the rear fork is pivotally supported at the center of the vehicle body, and its rear end is supported by the seat pipe via a rear suspension.This allows the rear fork to swing horizontally toward the rear of the vehicle body. There are some structures that are supported so that they extend to .

In this type of motorcycle, a resin rear fender that covers the upper part of the rear wheel has recesses formed on both sides to avoid interference with a rear action disposed adjacent to the rear fender. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to manufacture the same rear fender in an integrated manner, problems such as a complicated mold and difficulty in assembling work will result. For this reason, when actually manufacturing the same rear fender, there is a rear fender body that covers the top of the rear wheel, and a rear fender body that is placed on the top of the rear fender body to improve the appearance and protect the harness that is sandwiched between the rear fender body and the rear fender body. The reality is that the rear cowl and the functional rear cowl are manufactured separately. Further, in such rear fenders, in order to maintain a good appearance, the rear cowl is generally arranged to extend from the rear of the rear fender main body to near the front end of the rear fender main body.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the case of the rear fender mentioned above,
Since the rear fender main body and the rear cowl overlap over a wide area, the rear cowl has to be made longer in the front-rear direction, which increases the cost.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to shorten the rear cowl and reduce costs, and also to cover the joint between the rear fender body and the rear cowl so that it cannot be seen from the outside.
To provide a rear fender for a motorcycle that can maintain good appearance.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a structure in which the front end of the rear cowl is engaged with the rear fender main body at a position approximately in the center of the rear fender main body and at a position on the vehicle body center side of the rear action.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, since it is sufficient to extend the front end of the rear cowl to a position on the side of the center of the vehicle body of the rear cowl, the rear cowl can be shortened by that much compared to conventional ones, and costs can be reasonably reduced. can. Furthermore, since the joint between the rear fender main body and the rear cowl is covered by the rear action, a sense of unity can be obtained and the appearance can be kept good.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall side view of a motorcycle equipped with a rear fender according to the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 is an engine, 2 is a front wheel, 3 is a rear wheel, 4 is a fuel tank, 5 is a seat, and 6 is a A rear fork 7, which is vertically swingably supported approximately at the center of the vehicle body frame, has its upper end rotatably supported by a seat pipe 8, and its lower end rotatably supported above the rear end of the rear fork 7. Rear action 9 indicates a rear fender that is disposed between both rear action 7 and covers the upper part of rear wheel 3.

The rear fender 9, as shown in FIG. A recess 9a is formed on both sides of the recess 9a to avoid interference with the reaction 7. Further, the front end portion of the rear cowl 11 is engaged with the rear fender main body 10 at a position on the vehicle body center side of the rear action 7.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rear fender main body 10 includes a front wide part 12 and a narrow part 13 that integrally extends rearward from the wide part 12 to avoid interference with the rear suspensions 7 arranged on the left and right sides of the wide part 12.
The front end fitting part 14 is fitted to the vehicle body frame side, and the top part 15 is screwed to a cross member (not shown) of the seat pipe 8.
Further, the rear end locking part 16 is screwed to the rear end of the seat pipe 8, thereby fixing it to the vehicle body frame. Furthermore, a locking recess 17 is provided at the lower front side of the narrow portion 13, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for locking the corner portion 11a at the lower front end of the rear cowl 11.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the rear cowl 11 includes left and right side plate portions 18 and 19 whose front ends are curved inward and are locked in the locking recess 17 of the rear fender main body 10, and those side plates. Part 18, 19
The horizontal plate part 20 is formed integrally with the same side plate part at the rear of the rear fender body 10, and the horizontal plate part 20 is formed integrally with the same side plate part, and the side plate part 18, 19 has a retaining member screwed to the rear end of the seat pipe 8 together with the rear fender main body 10 at approximately the center of the side plate parts 18, 19. A stop portion 21 is provided.

According to the rear fender 9 having the above configuration, the front end of the rear cowl 11 is connected to the rear action 7.
The rear cowl 11 extends only as far as the center of the vehicle body, and the rear cowl 11 is shortened accordingly compared to the conventional one, so that the manufacturing cost of the rear cowl 11 can be reasonably reduced.

In addition, the rear fender main body 10 and the rear cowl 11
Since the joint portion with the front end portion is covered and hidden by the rear action 7, a sense of unity can be obtained between the two parts and a good appearance can be maintained.

In addition, when painting the rear fender 9, the rear cowl 1 is attached to the rear fender main body 10.
There is no need to paint the parts covered by 1, and it is sufficient to paint only the front part exposed to the outside, which can reduce costs accordingly.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the front end of the rear cowl is engaged with the rear fender main body at a position near the center of the vehicle body of the rear assembly, so the rear cowl can be shortened compared to conventional ones, and It is possible to reduce the cost accordingly. Furthermore, since the joint between the rear cowl and the rear fender main body is covered by the rear action, a sense of unity is obtained, and an excellent appearance is maintained.
