A vehicle camera mounting structure of the present disclosure is provided in a saddle-riding vehicle such as a motorcycle. The structure includes a camera which captures an image of an area in front of the vehicle and a headlamp which illuminates an area in front of the vehicle. The camera is secured to the headlamp. For instance, the camera is secured to a lower end of the headlamp. It is thereby possible to reduce the labor required to adjust the imaging direction of the camera, by allowing the camera to be oriented in alignment concurrently during an aiming process for the headlamp.

Vehicle headlamp camera mounting structure

A pannier includes: a casing body; a lid; an attaching-detaching holder which removably attaches the casing body to the vehicle; an opening-closing holder which attaches the lid in an openable and closeable manner; a cylinder which serves to lock both of the attaching-detaching holder and the opening-closing holder; and first and second movable holders which are movable when the cylinder is unlocked. At a lock position of the cylinder, the first and second movable holders are retained at a position where the casing body is unremovable and the lid is unopenable. At a pannier detaching position off the cylinder, the second movable holder is movable to an attachable-detachable position where the movable holder allows the casing body to be detached. At a pannier opening position of the cylinder, the first movable holder is movable to an openable position where the movable holder allows the lid to be opened.
