Airbag device for saddled vehicle

To realize disposition of a retainer that can improve an occupant comfort of a passenger of a saddled vehicle. In a saddled vehicle including: a vehicle body including a head pipe that supports a steering system and a down frame that extends downward from the head pipe; a retainer provided behind the head pipe; an inflator; and an airbag accommodated in the retainer, the airbag being configured to be expanded by gas released by the inflator and deployed in front of the passenger, the retainer is provided with a fastening portion that fastens the retainer to the vehicle body, and the fastening portion includes a plurality of fastening members.

Saddle-ride type vehicle

A motorcycle in which a fuel tank and a radiator are disposed on the lower side of a floor tunnel portion disposed in the area ranging from the rear side of a head pipe for steerably bearing a front wheel and a steering handle to the lower side of the front end of a rider's seat to make it possible to arrange component parts while effectively utilizing the space on the lower side of the floor tunnel portion.

A two-wheel vehicle foldable to have a width equivalent to the width of a license number plate can be contained in a door, side walls, or a rear wall of a four-wheel vehicle. Handles and steps of the two-wheel vehicle can be folded so that the vehicle width becomes equivalent to the width of the license number plate. Accordingly, containing space on the four-wheel vehicle at the time of mounting the two-wheel vehicle can be made to be small. As a result, vehicle compartment space of the four-wheel vehicle can be secured, and the two-wheel vehicle can be easily mounted onto the four-wheel vehicle.

Mounting structure for mounting foldable two-wheel vehicle on four-wheel vehicle

A seat holding mechanism for a two-wheel vehicle for holding a seat rotatably in the horizontal direction at a predetermined height. The seat holding mechanism is disposed on the side of the seat. The seat holding mechanism allows the seat to be to be fixed at another height, so that when the vehicle is in a driving mode, the seat is prevented from rotating and the riding state can be assured. By adjusting the seat at the predetermined height in a non-driving mode, the seat can rotate in the horizontal direction. Consequently, in the non-driving mode the seat can be used as a chair, thereby improving the attractiveness of the vehicle. The two wheel vehicle with the seat holding structure has a foldable body, allowing it to be easily mounted in a four wheel-vehicle.

Seat holding structure for a two-wheel vehicle and two-wheel vehicle

A vehicle including a body frame ( ) commonly used on a two-wheeled automotive vehicle ( ), a three-wheeled automotive vehicle ( ), and a four-wheeled automotive vehicle ( ). A head pipe ( ) is formed on a front frame ( ) of the body frame. The head pipe has an adjustment mechanism ( ) for adjusting a position and an angle of a center line (A ) of a steering shaft ( ) relative to a center line (C ) of the head pipe. A rear frame ( ) of the body frame has rear walls formed with pluralities of rear mount portions ( ) to allow rear units ( ) of different kinds for the two-, three- and four-wheeled automotive vehicles to be selectively mounted.

Vehicle

A vehicular windshield is provided which eliminates the need for a hard coating and which is relatively light in weight. The vehicular windshield includes a glass surface to be wiped by a wiper, and includes a transparent resin windshield main body. The windshield main body has upper and lower mounting portions for mounting the windshield main body to a roof and a front frame of a vehicle. A glass plate is fastened to the windshield main body to form the surface for a wiper. An adhesive sheet is provided for fastening the glass plate to the windshield main body.

Windshield for vehicle

A two-wheeled motor vehicle includes a plurality of batteries arranged between right and left side members extending longitudinally on both sides of the body of the vehicle. A main stand is attached to rear portions of the right and left side members. A main stand mounting structure includes a pair of main stand brackets for mounting the main stand which are secured respectively to the right and left side members. Stays supported by the main stand brackets through shafts extend from both right and left sides of the main stand. The right and left main stand brackets are each independent. The right and left stays extend from the main stand, and pivot shafts of the main stand are made short as right and left independent shafts. Consequently, it is no longer required to provide a long pivot shaft on the frame side, and hence it is possible to reduce the weight of the frame.
