An improved wheel construction for a motorcycle or other vehicle wherein a wheel hub is combined wih a wheel rim by a plurality of pairs of radially-extending trapezoidal-shaped spoke members, each pair including two symmetrically opposed spoke members. In the vertical cross-section, the oppositely-disposed spokes of each pair from an isosceles triangle with the hub forming the base of the triangle, while a second triangle is formed by opposite side edges of adjacent spokes (in a side view) and a part of the wheel rim, with the apex of the second triangle formed at an intermediate connecting portion between the radially extending spokes.

Wheels for vehicles, such as motorcycles

A catalyst converter for cleaning the exhaust of a vehicle, and in particular for a vehicle such as a car or motorcycle. The catalyst converter is provided with a case containing and holding a honeycomb-shaped ceramic catalyst body, with the case being divided into two halves in the axial direction. The catalyst body is covered in the front and rear with members supporting the end edges in the axial direction and the outer peripheral portions. The halves of the case are integrally combined while being pressed toward each other.

Catalyst converter for cleaning exhausts of cars

A spokeless wheel for a motorcycle or other vehicle is made by combining a wheel hub with a wheel rim through several sets of plates, wherein each set includes two opposed plates. In the vertical cross-section, the plates form an isosceles triangle with the hub forming the base of the triangle.
