Description

  The present invention relates to a motorcycle rear fender disposed between a seat and a rear wheel.

  As a conventional motorcycle rear fender, there is one constituted by a fender portion facing a rear wheel and a mud guard extending rearwardly downward from a rear end portion of the fender portion. The mud guard is formed to be wider than the fender portion so that the surface of the fender portion facing the rear wheel is not exposed to the rear of the vehicle body.

  The inventors have considered improving the appearance of a motorcycle equipped with the conventional rear fender configured as described above when viewed from the rear. However, since the conventional rear fender has a structure in which the mudguard can be seen mainly when viewed from the rear, it has not been possible to improve the appearance by increasing the design surface.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a rear fender for a motorcycle that can improve the appearance when viewed from the rear.

  In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, the rear fender is attached to the lower surface of the fender portion separately from the fender portion that faces the rear wheel and whose outer edge is continuous with the lower edge of the side cover. Each of the width direction dimensions is determined so that the outer edge of the fender portion passes outside the outer edge of the mud guard in a rear view.

  According to the present invention, since it is a separate body from the mudguard, the fender portion can be easily formed as a design surface connected to the side cover, and in this case, any color can be used regardless of the mudguard. Further, a large number of fender portions can be exposed without being blocked by the mudguard in the rear view.

  In the motorcycle rear fender, the lower surface of the fender portion may have the same color as the outer surface of the side cover. According to this invention, a fender part can be utilized as a design part.

  In the motorcycle rear fender, the lower surface of the fender portion may be colored by painting. According to this invention, the said lower surface is coat | covered with a coating film, and a fender part becomes difficult to be damaged. In addition, the fender portion is smoothened with the roughness reduced by the coating film.

  In the motorcycle rear fender, the attachment portion of the mudguard to the fender portion may have a width smaller than the width at the position of the attachment portion of the license plate. According to the present invention, the fender portion is exposed to the rear of the vehicle body from the side of the attachment portion of the mudguard to the fender portion.

  In the motorcycle rear fender, the mud guard may be detachable. According to the present invention, the lower surface of the fender portion can be widely exposed to the rear of the vehicle body by removing the mud guard.

  In the motorcycle rear fender, the mud guard may have a flasher lamp mounting portion. According to the present invention, the flasher lamp can be removed at the same time by removing the mudguard.

  In these drawings, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is a motorcycle according to this embodiment. The motorcycle 1 is of a so-called on-road type that includes a cowling 2 that covers the front of the vehicle body, and a side cover 5 that covers the lower side of the driver's seat 3 and the passenger's tandem seat 4 from both sides. As shown in FIG. 4, a U-shaped locking device 6 described later is accommodated below the tandem seat 4. 1 to 3, reference numeral 7 denotes a body frame of the motorcycle, 8 is a front fork, 9 is a front wheel, 10 is a rear wheel, 11 is an engine, 12 is a steering handle, and 13 is a fuel tank. .

  The vehicle body frame 7 extends rearward and downward from the head pipe 14 to support the fuel tank 13, a rear arm bracket 16 welded to the rear end portion of the tank rail 15, and the rear arm bracket 16 The seat rail 17 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) provided so as to extend and the back stay 18 are configured. The tank rail 15, the rear arm bracket 16, the seat rail 17 and the back stay 18 are formed so as to make a pair in the vehicle width direction. A rear arm 20 for supporting a rear wheel is supported on the rear arm bracket 16 via a pivot shaft 19 (see FIG. 1) so as to be swingable in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the rear arm 20 is provided with a movable fender 29 that swings with the rear arm 20. The rear end 29a of the movable fender 29 extends rearward of the vehicle body as compared with a normal one, and extends to substantially the same position as the axle of the rear wheel in the front-rear direction. By adopting this structure, it becomes difficult for the muddy water splashed by the rear wheel 10 to be applied to the lower surface of the fender plate 32 described later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the seat rail 17 and the backstay 18 connect the rear end portions to each other. The left and right seat rails 17 are connected to each other by first to third cross members denoted by reference numerals 21 to 23 in FIG. 4, and the rear end portions of the left and right back stays 18 are connected to the fourth cross member. 24 are connected to each other. The fourth cross member 24 is formed by a plate 24a welded to the rear end portions of the left and right backstays 18 and 18, and a cross pipe 24b connecting the rear end portions of the plates 24a and 24a. Yes. By connecting the left and right seat rails 17 and the backstay 18 in this way, a laterally V-shaped rear frame 25 that opens toward the front of the vehicle body in a side view is formed.

  The rear frame 25 supports the driver's seat 3 and the passenger's tandem seat 4, and, as shown in FIG. 7, a rear fender 26 positioned below the seats 3 and 4, and the side The cover 5 and the like are supported. The driver's seat 3 is fixed to the rear frame 25 with fixing bolts (not shown), and the tandem seat 4 includes a fourth cross member 24 located on the rearmost side in FIG. A third cross member 23 adjacent to the cross member 24 is detachably supported. In this embodiment, the lock mechanism 27 that holds the tandem seat 4 in the attached state is provided on the third cross member 23, and the tandem seat 4 cannot be removed unless the lock mechanism 27 is unlocked by the occupant. I am doing so.

  The tandem seat 4 is configured to be detachable in this manner, in a storage space formed between the side cover 5 and the rear fender 26 below the tandem seat 4 and the driver's seat 3. This is because the lock device 6 and the tool bag 28 (see FIG. 6) can be taken in and out.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the rear fender 26 constituting the bottom of the storage space includes a storage box 31 for storing electrical components (to be described later) together with the U-shaped lock device 6 and the tool bag 28, and a lower portion of the storage box 31. The fender plate 32 is fixed to the rear end portion of the fender plate 32, and a mud guard 33 is fixed to the rear end portion of the fender plate 32 and extends downward. The fender plate 32 constitutes a fender portion according to the present invention.

  The storage box 31 is formed in a box shape opened upward with a synthetic resin, and supports the U-shaped lock device 6 and the tool bag 28 detachably, as shown in FIGS. The battery 34 and the electrical components such as the CDI unit 35 are fixed, the front end is fixed to the seat rail 16 with fixing bolts 37, and the rear end is fixed to the rear end of the backstay 18 with four fixing bolts 38. And the plate 24a of the fourth cross member 24 are fixed. Since many parts can be mounted on the storage box 31 as described above, the bottom surface of the storage box 31 has a large number of irregularities.

  The upper opening of the storage box 31 is configured such that the front half of the vehicle body is closed by the driver seat 3 and the rear half of the vehicle body is opened and closed by the tandem seat 4. That is, the storage box 31 faces the seat bottom plates (not shown) of the two sheets 3 and 4, and the rear portion of the storage box 31 is directed upward by removing the tandem seat 4 from the vehicle body. It becomes open.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the rear end portion of the storage box 31 has a cross pipe 24b of the fourth cross member 24 in a U-shaped concave portion 39 formed on the upper end portions of the left and right side walls 31a. A claw piece 40 that is inserted from above and protrudes upward from the bottom plate 31b is engaged with the central portion in the left-right direction of the cross pipe 24b from above, and the cross pipe 24b is gripped by both of them. By providing the gripping part for gripping the cross pipe 24b at the rear end part of the storage box 31 in this way, it can be easily temporarily held by the gripping part when the storage box 31 is assembled to the rear frame 25. Assembly work becomes easy.

  In addition, since the rear end portion of the storage box 31 can be positioned with high accuracy and firmly fixed to the rear end portion of the rear frame 25 by the grip portion and the four fixing bolts 38, By fixing the rear end portion of the side cover 5 to a side cover support seat 41 (see FIGS. 6 to 8) formed integrally with the rear end portions of the left and right side walls 31a, the rear end portion of the side cover 5 is rear-mounted. The frame 25 and the rear end portion of the storage box 31 can be positioned at an accurate position. For this reason, when assembling the side cover 5 to the fender plate 32 attached to the storage box 31, it is possible to prevent a gap from being formed at the connection portion between the two.

  As is well known in the art, the U-shaped locking device 6 includes a rod 42 (see FIG. 8) formed by bending a round bar into a U-shape, and 2 extending on a straight line of the rod 42. The arm 42a is composed of a locking device 43 (see FIGS. 4 and 6) coupled to the tip of the arm 42a, and is detachably attached to the storage box 31 with the locking device 43 removed from the rod 42. .

  As shown in FIG. 6, the rod 42 is in a state where the two arms 42a are arranged in the vehicle width direction and the bent portion 42b is positioned on the rear side of the vehicle body, and gradually increases toward the tip side (vehicle body front side). The storage box 31 is held in an inclined state so as to be unevenly distributed to the left side of the vehicle body. As shown in FIG. 8, the rod 42 is held by inserting the arm 42 a on the right side of the vehicle body into the first engagement portion 44 of the storage box 31 from the rear and the other arm 42 a as the second engagement of the storage box 31. The bending portion 42b is inserted into the joint portion 45 from the rear side and pressed against the bottom plate side of the storage box 31 with a rubber band 46 (see FIG. 6).

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10 to 13, the first engaging portion 44 is opened downward by forming the bottom plate 31 b of the storage box 31 so as to partially bulge upward. The rear engagement groove 51 and the front engagement groove 52 are formed in a groove shape, and the bottom plate 31b is located between the engagement grooves 51 and 52. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the first engagement portion 44 inserts the arm 42 a from the rear end opening 51 a of the rear engagement groove 51, and the groove wall surfaces of the front and rear engagement grooves 51, 52, A structure is employed in which the front portion of the arm 42a is sandwiched from above and below by the bottom plate 31b between the engaging grooves 51 and 52.

  In this embodiment, the rear portion of the rear engagement groove 51 is formed so that the groove width gradually increases toward the rear side so that the front end of the arm 42a can be easily inserted into the rear engagement groove 51. ing. When the U-shaped locking device 6 is not housed, a lid 53 can be attached to the rear end opening 51a of the rear engagement groove 51 as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, a stopper wall 52a facing the tip of the arm 42a is formed at the front end of the front engagement groove 52.

  The second engagement portion 45 includes a rear engagement groove 54 (see FIG. 10) having a structure equivalent to both the engagement grooves 51 and 52 of the first engagement portion 44, and the rear engagement. The front engaging groove 55 (see FIG. 11) formed on the front side of the groove 54 is used. The front engaging groove 55 is formed in a U-shaped cross section that opens upward. That is, similarly to the first engaging portion 44, the second engaging portion 45 has a structure in which the left arm 42a is held so as to be sandwiched by the groove wall surfaces of the front and rear engaging grooves 54 and 55 from above and below. ing. The rear engagement groove 54 of the second engagement portion 45 is also formed so that the groove width gradually increases toward the rear side so that the tip of the arm 42a can be easily inserted. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the second engaging portion 45 is formed so as to protrude laterally from the seat rail 17 and the backstay 18 on the left side of the vehicle body in a plan view.

  Further, the engagement grooves of the first and second engagement portions 44 and 45 are inclined forward and downward with respect to the bottom of the storage box 31 and extend in the front-rear direction. , 45 holds the rod 42 so that the front portion of the rod 42 is positioned below the backstay 18 in a side view. Therefore, by holding the rod 42 in the first and second engaging portions 44, 45, the bent portion 42b of the rod 42 crosses the seat rail 17 and the backstay 18 on the left side of the vehicle body upward, The left arm 42 a extends between the left seat rail 17 and the back stay 18 (rear frame 25) and the left side cover 5.

  Since the right arm 42a passes below the cross member 23 of the rear frame 25, the lock mechanism 27 of the tandem seat 4 provided on the cross member 23 has a special structure that avoids interference with the arm 42a. It is not necessary and does not hinder the opening and closing of the seat.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the locking device 43 is held by placing the locking device 43 below the bent portion 42 b of the rod 42 and placing it on the bottom plate 31 b of the storage box 31. The band 46 is held by the storage box 31 and the stopper rubber 4b supported by the sheet bottom plate 4a (see FIG. 5) of the tandem sheet 4 is pressed from above onto the upper surface of the locking device. That is, the locking device 43 is held between the bent portion 42 b of the rod 42, the tandem sheet 4 and the storage box 31.

  The band 46 is formed in a ring shape with rubber and is hooked in a state of being pulled by the two hooks 56 of the storage box 31 from above the bent portion 42b. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a protrusion 57 is provided on the bottom of the storage box 31 on which the locking device 43 is placed to determine the position of the locking device 43, and the locking device 43 does not vibrate. A damper rubber 58 is attached as described above.

  The fender plate 32 attached to the lower part of the storage box 31 is formed in the storage box 31 by the muddy water splashed by the rear wheel 10, for example, in the gap of the first engaging portion 44 or the bottom plate 31 b of the storage box 31. It is for preventing intrusion from the lightening hole 31c (see FIG. 8). As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, it is formed in a plate shape substantially along the lower surface of the storage box 31, and has two locations at the front end. The mounting seat 61 and the mounting seat 62 in the center in the vehicle width direction at the rear end are brought into contact with the storage box 31 and fixed by fixing bolts 63 and 64 (see FIG. 6). In this embodiment, the lightening hole 31c is formed at a position hidden by mounting the CDI unit 35. However, the lightening hole 31c is also formed at another part as long as it overlaps the fender plate 32 in the vertical direction. can do.

  Further, the fender plate 32 is made of a synthetic resin material having relatively high hardness because the muddy water or pebbles splashed by the rear wheel 10 is hit, and when the mud adhering to the lower surface is washed away. The entire bottom surface is painted so that it is difficult to scratch. The paint color is such that the fender plate 32 is exposed to the rear of the vehicle body as shown in FIG. 3, and the lower surface of the fender plate 32 forms a part of the exterior of the vehicle body. It is determined from the viewpoint of design in association with the color of the side cover 5. That is, either the same color as the side cover 5 or a different color may be used. In this embodiment, the fender plate 32 is formed of black ABS resin, and the lower surface is painted in the same color as the side cover 5. The fender plate 32 may be colored with the same color as the side cover 5 and the lower surface may be painted with the same color. By adopting this configuration, even if the paint is partially peeled off, it becomes difficult to stand out. Alternatively, a resin material having high weather resistance such as AES resin may be used, and the material may be colored instead of being painted.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the fender plate 32 and the mud guard 33 have respective width direction dimensions so that the outer edge of the fender plate 32 passes outside the outer edge of the mud guard 33 in the rear view.

  The front portion of the fender plate 32 is formed with a bulging portion 32a that is curved with the same curvature as the rear wheel 10 and protrudes upward so that a wide clearance with the rear wheel 10 can be obtained. A bracket 66 for attaching a tail lamp 65 (see FIGS. 6 and 7), which will be described later, projects from the rear end so as to form a pair in the vehicle width direction, and an opening for inserting a lens 67 of the tail lamp 65. 68 is formed.

  In FIG. 16, the bulging portion 32a is mainly covered with muddy water or the like splashed by the rear wheel 10 on a curved portion at the rear end portion (a portion which is directed downward and is not exposed to the rear of the vehicle body). The part that is located on the front side and exposed to the rear of the vehicle body is less likely to be covered with muddy water. The reason why muddy water is less likely to be applied to the front portion of the bulging portion 32 is that the rear end 29a of the movable fender 29 is positioned as far back as possible so that most of the muddy water is received by the movable fender 29. Because. In addition, by forming the rear end of the movable fender 29 behind the illustrated position, muddy water can be hardly applied to the entire area of the bulging portion 32, but in this way, the vehicle body is viewed from the side. The appearance will be damaged. That is, in this embodiment, by allowing the muddy water or the like to be applied to the rear end portion of the bulging portion 32a (a portion that is directed downward or obliquely forward and downward), it is possible to improve the appearance in the side view and in the rear view. Both the appearance can be improved.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the tail lamp 65 is fixed by connecting a stay 70 protruding from the left and right ends of the tail lamp housing 69 to the front of the vehicle body with the bracket 66 by a fixing bolt 71 and a rear surface of the tail lamp housing 69. The positioning pin 72 protruding from the center in the vehicle width direction is fitted into the positioning hole 73 of the fender plate 32 through a grommet 74 (see FIG. 25). In this embodiment, the two brackets 66 are disposed on the side of the fourth cross member 24 and the stay 70 of the tail lamp 65 is attached to the outside of the bracket 66 on the vehicle body. The rear end of the storage box 31 can be exposed on the inner side, so that a large storage space can be formed. Further, the lower ends of the side covers 5 are attached to both sides of the fender plate 32. A nut for attaching the side cover 5 is denoted by reference numeral 75 in FIG.

  The mounting seat 62 at the rear end of the fender plate 32 is formed at a position overlapping the tandem seat 4 in plan view, and through holes 76 for allowing four fixing bolts 64 (see FIG. 6) to pass through from above. The fixing bolt 64 inserted through the through-holes 76 is screwed to the nut member 77 (see FIGS. 19 and 20) of the lower mudguard 33, so that the storage box 31 together with the mudguard 33 is formed. To be fixed to.

  In other words, a structure is adopted in which the fixing bolt 64 can be loosened or tightened by reaching out to an opening formed by removing the tandem sheet 4 (U-shaped lock device 6 or a tool box access port). Yes. For this reason, the mud guard 33 can be easily attached and detached from the storage box 31. The mudguard 33 is removed when the motorcycle 1 participates in a race. By removing the mud guard 33, the lower surface of the fender plate 32 that has been coated as described above is exposed rearward over substantially the entire region, so that the appearance can be improved.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the mud guard 33 forms a mounting seat 81 for mounting a license plate (not shown), and has a rectangular through hole above the mounting seat 81 as viewed from the rear. Two protrusions 82 are formed, and a convex portion 83 formed at the center of the upper end portion in the vehicle width direction is brought into contact with the fender plate 32. The nut member 77 is attached to the convex portion 83.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the nut member 77 is formed in a U shape that is released toward the rear of the vehicle body in a plan view, and is inserted into the convex portion 83 from the front of the vehicle body. In this embodiment, a guide groove 84 (see FIGS. 17 and 18) in which both ends of the nut member 77 in the vehicle width direction are fitted is formed on the inner surface of the convex portion 83, and the nut member 77 is formed by the guide groove 84. It is to be retained. The nut member 77 is used alone to screw the fixing bolt 64 in order to fix the rear end portion of the fender plate 32 to the storage box 31 when the mud guard 33 is removed from the vehicle body.

  The reason why the through hole 82 is formed in the mud guard 33 as described above is to allow the lower surface (design surface) of the fender plate 32 positioned in front of the mud guard 33 to be seen from the rear side. Since the mud guard 33 has the projection 83 protruding upward attached to the fender plate 32, the lower surface of the fender plate 32 can be seen from the space formed on both sides of the projection 83.

  Further, the mud guard 33 has reinforcing walls 85 to 88 extending forward from the rear end opening of the through hole 82 so that the relatively large through hole 82 can be formed as described above while maintaining high rigidity. Forming. The reinforcing walls 85 to 88 are configured by an upper wall 85 corresponding to the upper edge of the through hole 82, a bottom wall 86 corresponding to the lower edge of the through hole 82, and side walls 87 and 88 corresponding to both side edges. Yes. The bottom wall 86 has a length in the front-rear direction so that the muddy water splashed from below by the rear wheel 10 can be prevented from splashing out from the through hole 82.

  Further, the mud guard 33 has a license plate lamp 91 (see FIGS. 4 and 19) inserted and fixed to the upper part of the through hole 82 from the rear, and a flasher lamp 92 is attached to both sides. The license plate lamp 91 is formed in a U-shape that is released forward in a plan view. As shown in FIG. 19, a fixing bolt 93 and an engaging claw 94 are provided on the upper wall 85 of the through hole 82. It is fixed by. The engaging claw 94 has a structure that penetrates the upper wall 85 from below to engage with the upper surface of the upper wall 85. The flasher lamp 92 is fixed by inserting a base into an opening 95 (see FIG. 18) formed on the side of the mudguard. Since the license plate lamp 91 and the flasher lamp 92 are attached to the mud guard 33, the lamps 91 and 92 can be removed from the vehicle body at a time by removing the mud guard 33 from the vehicle body. This makes it easy to prepare for participation in races and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the lead wire 96 of the license plate lamp 91 is guided to the convex portion 83 through the inside of the mud guard 33, and the wiring hole 98 formed in the convex portion 83 and the through hole of the fender plate 32 are formed. 99 (see FIG. 15) is led to the rear side of the vehicle body between the fender plate 32 and the storage box 31, and between the storage box 31 and the fender plate 32 from the wiring port 100 (see FIGS. 6 and 8) of the storage box 31. Led to the space. On the other hand, the lead wire 97 of the flasher lamp 92 is led to the vehicle body front side between the fender plate 32 and the storage box 31 through the wiring hole 98 and the through hole 99 and led to the wiring port 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 21 to 26, the tail lamp 65 attached to the rear fender 32 described above includes the tail lamp housing 69 fixed to the fender plate 32, a lens 67 fixed to the housing 69 by ultrasonic welding, And the wiring board 101 disposed inside the lens 67 and the like.

  The tail lamp housing 69 is integrally formed with the stay 70 at both ends in the left-right direction, and a terminal box 102 is formed at the center in the left-right direction so that it partially bulges forward of the vehicle body. . The outer tube 103a of the power supply lead wire 103 is fixed to the lower end of the terminal box 102 as shown in FIG.

  The lens 67 is made of a transparent plastic material. As shown in FIG. 21, the lens 67 is formed with two substantially circular light transmitting portions 104 as viewed from the rear in a state where they are arranged side by side independently. The positioning pin 72 protrudes from the upper portion between the transmitting portions 104. Here, the term “independent” includes those having thin left and right connecting portions in addition to being formed so as to be completely divided into two as in this embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 26, the rear surface portion of the light transmitting portion 104 is formed in a shape that substantially conforms to the side shape of the fender plate 32.

  That is, the side shape of the light transmitting portion 104 is formed to be curved so as to extend upward from the lower end to the substantially central portion in the vertical direction and to extend rearward from the central portion. In the figure, the reference numeral 105 provided inside the lens 67 is an inner lens. The lower portion of the lens 67 between the two light transmitting portions 104 is formed so as to be recessed upward according to the shape of the light transmitting portion 104, and the upper portion is formed of the light transmitting portion 104. It is formed so as to extend further upward. The lower concave portion is indicated by reference numeral 106 in FIG. 21, and the upper extending portion is indicated by reference numeral 107.

  22 and 25, the wiring board 101 is attached to the rear wall 69a of the tail lamp housing 69 with fixing screws 108, and to the terminal box 102 with fixing screws 110. The sub-wiring board 111 is used. As shown in FIGS. 22, 25 and 26, the main wiring board 109 is fitted in a recessed portion 112 formed in the rear wall 69a, and a conductor pattern 113 made of a copper plate is provided on the surface facing the lens 67. It is fixed by the fixing screw 108 and the pattern mounting screw 114 (see FIG. 22). The LED 115 is mounted on the conductor pattern 113 as shown in FIGS. A large number of LEDs 115 are arranged in a portion of the lens 67 that faces the light transmitting portion 104.

  The conductor pattern 113 is divided into a positive electrode conductor pattern 113a, a negative electrode conductor pattern 113b, and three intermediate conductor patterns 113c to 113e so as to straddle an insulating gap 116 between these conductor patterns. LED 115 is mounted on. In this embodiment, the conductor pattern 113 is formed to extend over substantially the entire area inside the lens 67 so that the heat capacity of the conductor pattern 113 can be increased as much as possible.

  That is, it is formed so as to extend to a position where the tail lamp 65 wraps to the mounting portion (positioning pin 72) of the tail lamp 65 in the rear view of the vehicle body, and also to a portion of the lens 67 facing the two light transmission portions 104. Yes. The upper portion 117a of the extending portion 117 is formed to protrude upward from the left and right side portions so as to face the upper extending portion 107 of the tail lamp housing 69, and the lower portion 117b of the extending portion 117. Is formed so as to be recessed upward so as to fit into the recess 106 of the tail lamp housing 69. A positive lead wire 118 and a negative lead wire 119 are connected to the upper portion 117 a and the lower portion 117 b of the extending portion 117.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the upper end portion 117 a of the extending portion 117 protrudes upward from the main wiring board 109, and the protruding portion is in contact with the rear surface of the tail lamp housing 69. In this embodiment, the conductor pattern 113 is formed so as to be larger than the main wiring board 109, and the other part (the part protruding from the main wiring board 109) of the upper part 117a is as shown in FIGS. The tail lamp housing 69 is in contact with the rear surface.

  Since the rear fender 26 of the motorcycle 1 configured as described above is separate from the mud guard 33, the fender plate 32 can be easily formed as a design surface continuous with the side cover 5. Can be color. Moreover, many fender plates 32 can be exposed without being blocked by the mudguard 33 in the rear view.

  Moreover, the fender plate 32 can be used as a design component by making the lower surface of the fender plate 32 the same color as the outer surface of the side cover 5. Furthermore, since the lower surface of the fender plate 32 is colored by painting, the lower surface is covered with a coating film, and the fender plate 32 is hardly damaged. Further, the fender plate 32 is smoothened with the roughness reduced by the coating film.

  Furthermore, since the mounting portion (convex portion 83) of the mudguard 33 to the fender plate 32 has a width smaller than the width at the position of the mounting portion (mounting seat 81) of the license plate, the mudguard 33 is attached to the fender plate 32. The fender plate 32 is exposed to the rear of the vehicle body from the side of the mounting portion.

  In addition, since the mud guard 33 is detachable, the lower surface of the fender plate 32 can be widely exposed to the rear of the vehicle body by removing the mud guard 33. Moreover, since the mud guard 33 has a flasher lamp mounting portion (opening 95), the flasher lamp 92 can be removed simultaneously by removing the mud guard 33 from the vehicle body.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since it is a separate body from the mudguard, the fender portion can be easily formed as a design surface connected to the side cover, and in this case, any color can be used regardless of the mudguard. Further, a large number of fender portions can be exposed without being blocked by the mudguard in the rear view. Therefore, a motorcycle rear fender capable of improving the appearance when viewed from the rear can be realized.

  According to the above-described invention in which the lower surface of the fender portion has the same color as the outer surface of the side cover, the fender portion can be used as a design component, so that the appearance can be further improved in the rear view. According to the above-described invention in which the lower surface of the fender portion is colored by painting, the lower surface is covered with the coating film, and the fender portion is hardly damaged. And since the roughness of the lower surface of the fender portion is reduced and smoothened by the coating film, the adhering mud can be easily washed off.

  According to the above invention, the mounting portion of the mudguard to the fender portion is smaller in width than the width at the position of the mounting portion of the license plate. From the side of the mounting portion of the mudguard to the fender portion, the fender portion moves to the rear of the vehicle body. Since it is exposed, more of the fender portion can be exposed and the appearance can be further improved.

  According to the above invention in which the mudguard is detachable, the lower surface of the fender portion can be widely exposed to the rear of the vehicle body by removing the mudguard. For this reason, for example, it is possible to easily change to a form for participating in a race or the like, and it is possible to participate in a race while improving the appearance when viewed from behind.

  According to the above invention in which the mudguard has the flasher lamp mounting portion, the flasher lamp can be removed at the same time by removing the mudguard, so that it can be more easily changed depending on the form for participating in a race or the like.
