The at least one motorcycle cladding element is fastened by a second set of fastening elements to the tolerance compensation frame, and a covering unit that covers the first and second sets of fastening elements is fastened to the tolerance compensation frame by a third set of fastening elements.

A vehicle comprises a head lamp which irradiates a head lamp irradiation region set in front of a vehicle body; an auxiliary lamp which irradiates an auxiliary lamp irradiation region set in front of the head lamp irradiation region; a bank state detecting section which detects a bank state of the vehicle body; and a lighting control section which lights the auxiliary lamp depending on the bank state, the lighting control section causes the auxiliary lamp to be lighted in a set lighting state when the bank state detecting section detects a predetermined set bank state, and the lighting control section causes the auxiliary lamp to be lighted in a preceding lighting state at luminosity lower than that of the set lighting state, when the bank state detecting section detects a preceding bank state which occurs before the vehicle body reaches the set bank state.

An electric scooter includes an arc-shaped body, a front frame disposed at a front end of the body, a front wheel connected to a bottom of the front frame, a folding mechanism connected between the body and the front frame, and a rear wheel connected to a rear end of the body. The electric scooter further includes a control device and a drive motor drive-connected to the rear wheel through a transmission shaft. The control device includes a controller, an electromagnetic brake switch connected to the front frame and configured to control a braking operation of the electric scooter, and an electromagnetic speed regulating switch configured to control a speed regulating operation of the electric scooter. The electromagnetic brake switch, the electromagnetic speed regulating switch and the drive motor are all connected to the controller.

A straddle vehicle comprises a cover member covering a vehicle body; a head lamp unit which is disposed at a front portion of the straddle vehicle and emits a light beam with which a forward region of the vehicle body is irradiated; and a sub-light-unit which is provided separately from the head lamp unit and emits the light beam with which the forward region is irradiated, wherein the sub-light-unit includes: a housing disposed along an edge of the cover member; a light source member which emits the light beam inside the housing; a reflector which is accommodated in the housing and reflects the light beam emitted from the light source member; and an optical axis adjustment mechanism which supports the reflector on the housing in such a manner that the reflector is tiltable with respect to the housing, and changes a posture of the reflector with respect to the housing.

A communication system for a vehicle comprises a mechanism for sensing a braking of the vehicle and a control device for sending a signal to a headlight activation circuit to modulate the vehicle's headlights based upon the braking of the vehicle. In particular, a headlight of the vehicle is able to be modulated based upon an application of one or both of a front brake and a rear brake. The headlight activation circuit is able to modulate the headlight between an on position and an off position or modulate the headlight between a high beam position and a low beam position. Consequently, the vehicle is better seen as it approaches likely congestion areas such as intersections and slowing or stopped traffic and attempts to enter traffic.

A front structure of a saddle ride type vehicle includes a headlight unit, and a front cowl. The headlight unit includes at least one lens portion. The front cowl includes an annular cowl configured to surround the lens portions, an upper cowl configured to cover at least an upper portion of the annular cowl from the front side, and a wind screen. The edge portion of the upper cowl includes a portion that forms a slit-shaped opening. The annular cowl includes a light-shielding wall extending backward from a rear portion of the upper cowl between the opening and the wind screen.

A lens body is provided which is disposed in front of a light source and configured to emit light forward from the light source along a forward/rearward reference axis extending in a forward/rearward direction of a vehicle, the lens body including an incidence part; a first reflecting surface configured to totally reflect light entering from the incidence part; a second reflecting surface configured to totally reflect at least some of the light totally reflected by the first reflecting surface; and a light emitting surface, wherein the first reflecting surface includes an elliptical spherical shape rotatably symmetrical with respect to a major axis extending in the forward/rearward direction, in first and second focal points constituted by the elliptical shape of the first reflecting surface, the second focal point disposed at a rear side between the first and second focal points is disposed in the vicinity of the light source, the second reflecting surface extends rearward from a point spaced a predetermined distance from the first focal point in an upward direction, and, among the light totally reflected by the first reflecting surface, light reaching the light emitting surface without being reflected by the second reflecting surface and light reaching the light emitting surface after being totally reflected by the second reflecting surface are emitted from the light emitting surface to be radiated forward.

A communication system for a vehicle comprises a mechanism for sensing a change in speed of the vehicle and a control device for sending a signal to a headlight activation circuit to modulate the vehicle's headlights based upon the change in speed. In particular, a headlight of the vehicle is able to be modulated as the vehicle reduces speed and/or is decelerating as it approaches an intersection. Additionally, the headlight of the vehicle is able to be modulated as the vehicle accelerates from a stopped position or reaches a certain traveling speed. The headlight activation circuit is able to modulate the headlight between an on position and an off position or modulate the headlight between a high beam position and a low beam position. Consequently, the vehicle is better seen as it approaches likely congestion areas such as intersections and slowing or stopped traffic and attempts to enter traffic.
