An air intake system for a vehicle has a conduit having an internal wall forming an air passage. A deflector is disposed within the air passage. A restricting structure is disposed within the air passage between the deflector and a conduit outlet. The restricting structure defines at least in part an opening substantially laterally aligned with the deflector. The restricting structure has a lateral wall disposed downstream of the deflector and extending within the air passage. The lateral wall has a front surface generally facing a conduit inlet, and a plurality of surface-increasing features provided on the front surface. Each of the surface-increasing features has a length of at least 1 mm measured from the front surface in a direction normal thereto. An air intake system having a collector connected to the deflector and positioned to collect at least some moisture from air flowing past the deflector is also described.

A mirror assembly for a handlebar of a vehicle has a stem assembly and a mirror connect to the stem assembly. The stem assembly includes a base, a stem connected to the base, and a clamp connected to and extending from the base. The clamp is adapted for being disposed inside a handle of the handlebar. The base, the stem and the clamp are integral. The clamp defines a ramp. A threaded fastener inserted through the base and extends in part in the clamp. A nut engages the threaded fastener, and at least a portion of the nut abuts the clamp. Translating the nut toward the base by rotating the fastener causes the nut to move over the ramp thereby deflecting the ramp.

Disclosed is a vehicle including a frame, a vehicle body, a motor connected to the frame, left and right suspensions, left and right wheels operatively connected to the left and right suspensions, each wheel having a rim and a tire mounted on the rim, both wheels being outside the vehicle body, and left and right fenders. Each fender includes an arcuate outer wall adapted for extending over at least a portion of an upper part of the tire of its corresponding wheel and a side wall having an outer portion extending from an edge of the outer wall, the outer portion covering at least a portion of a sidewall of the tire on a vehicle facing side, and an inner portion extending from the outer portion, the inner portion covering at least a portion of the rim of its corresponding wheel on the vehicle facing side.
