MOTORCYCLE FAIRING
A motorcycle fairing includes a fairing body having a mounting surface for mounting an audio speaker. The fairing body defines an internal space for accommodating a portion of the speaker. The fairing includes an external wall portion. An internal wall is configured, along with the external wall portion, to seal the internal space. An upper portion defines an inboard portion and an outboard portion. An upper surface of the inboard portion is positioned below an upper surface of the outboard portion. An edge is defined by the upper surface of the outboard portion. The upper surface slopes downward on each side of the edge. The edge extends in an inboard-to-outboard direction in a forward-to-rearward direction. In some configurations, the inboard portion defines an airfoil shape.

Exterior part of saddled vehicle
A rear frame is formed of a laminate that includes a plurality of carbon fiber layers laminated one on top of another and hardened and integrated with each other by a plastic. A different color layer having a color different from a color of the carbon fiber layers is disposed between the carbon fiber layers in the laminate. When a carbon fiber layer on the outside is lost by a piece of flying gravel and a lost portion reaches the different color layer, a surface of the different color layer is exposed from the lost portion. An exposed portion having the different color can be easily recognized from the outside. The appearance of the exposed portion allows arrival of a replacement time of the rear frame to be recognized. As a result, it is possible to enable easy visual recognition of an optimum replacement timing.
Self-balancing personal vehicle with suspended harness assembly
A self-balancing personal vehicle is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the vehicle provides a chassis having an at least one primary wheel positioned and configured for being in rolling contact with the ground. At least one drive motor is positioned and configured for selectively driving the at least one primary wheel. At least one self-balancing system is configured for automatically assisting the vehicle in maintaining a substantially upright position during use. At least one harness assembly is engaged with a suspension frame secured to the chassis, the harness assembly being sized and configured for removably receiving and suspending an at least one user a distance above the chassis. At least one control bar is positioned and configured for allowing the user to grasp said control bar while suspended within the harness assembly, for selectively repositioning their body and shifting their weight, relative to the at least one primary wheel.
Wheel fairing reducing vehicle drag
A minimal fairing apparatus minimally shielding the faster-moving drag-sensitive uppermost wheel surfaces from headwinds reduces overall vehicle drag. The apparatus includes various upper wheel fairings of
VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a front wheel, a handle, a pair of left and right first front lights, and a pair of left and right second front lights. The front wheel is supported by the vehicle body frame. The handle is located farther to the rear than a rotation axis of the front wheel, and is operated by an occupant to turn the front wheel. The pair of left and right first front lights extend linearly in the left-right direction, and are located farther to the rear than a front end of the front wheel and farther to the front than the handle. The pair of left and right second front lights are provided separately from the first front lights.
Rideable golf bag cart/cycle
A rideable golf cycle adapted to transport a rider and a golf bag for use on a golf course. The cycle includes a frame and a seat, a front wheel and steering components, a rear wheel, an inclined bag support structure extending between the legs of the rider, and a motor/control subassembly.
SIDE COVER STRUCTURE
A side cover structure includes a main frame extending rearward from a head pipe, a seat rail positioned behind the main frame, a side cover fixed to the seat rail from an inner side in a vehicle width direction. Below a driver seating surface of a seat on the seat rail, the side cover is exposed, to an outer side in the vehicle width direction, from an opening formed by rail members included in the seat rail.
Saddle-riding type vehicle
This saddle-riding type vehicle includes: a transmission that includes a clutch operated by an operation of a slave cylinder; an oil pressure actuator that includes a master cylinder which generates an oil pressure on an operation oil; an oil pressure valve unit that controls transmission of the oil pressure generated by the master cylinder to the slave cylinder; a master-side connection pipe arrangement that connects the master cylinder to the oil pressure valve unit; and a slave-side connection pipe arrangement that connects the oil pressure valve unit to the slave cylinder, wherein the slave cylinder and the oil pressure valve unit are arranged on one side part in a vehicle width direction of the saddle-riding type vehicle, and the oil pressure actuator is arranged on another side part in the vehicle width direction of the saddle-riding type vehicle.
SADDLE-RIDING TYPE VEHICLE
A saddle-riding type vehicle is provided in which a water-cooled internal combustion engine, a radiator and a fuel tank are supported on a vehicle body frame. A canister that collects fuel vaporized within the fuel tank is disposed in front of the radiator in a vehicle fore-and-aft direction when viewed from a side. This can enhance the effect in cooling the canister.
