As shown in fig. 5, the windshield stay 51 extends to the rear of the upper end 43c of the display surface 43a of the meter 43.

According to this configuration, the windshield stay 51 can be provided with the meter visor function, reflection of the scenery, sky, and the like around the vehicle onto the display surface 43a of the meter 43 can be suppressed, visibility of the meter 43 can be improved, the number of parts can be reduced, and cost can be suppressed.

As shown in fig. 1, 3, and 5, the warning lamp unit 61 is covered from above by a warning lamp unit cover 64 that is a display unit cover, and the warning lamp unit cover 64 is fixed to the vehicle body cover 30.

According to this configuration, by fixing the warning lamp unit 61 to the vehicle body cover 30 (specifically, the left and right front side covers 31a) via the warning lamp unit cover 64, it is not necessary to use an unnecessary stay or the like around the operation handle 23, and it is possible to make the periphery of the operation handle 23 small and compact and improve the appearance, and to improve the visibility of the display surface 61a of the warning lamp unit 61.

As shown in fig. 5, the upper end surface 61b of the warning lamp unit 61 is offset downward with respect to the lower end surface 43b of the meter 43 in the direction in which the display surface 43a of the meter 43 extends, and a warning lamp unit cover 64 is disposed in a space 103 between the warning lamp unit 61 and the meter 43.

According to this configuration, the upper end surface 61b of the warning lamp unit 61 and the lower end surface 43b of the meter 43 are disposed as close as possible, so that the visibility can be improved, and the warning lamp unit 61 and the meter 43 can be disposed compactly, thereby suppressing an increase in size of the front portion of the vehicle. Further, the meter 43 can be covered from below by the warning lamp unit cover 64, and direct entry of water into the meter 43 can be suppressed.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, 8, and 9, since the warning lamp unit 61 is fixed to the left and right front covers 31a via the warning lamp unit cover 64, the warning lamp unit cover 64 can also serve as a fixing member for fixing the warning lamp unit 61 to the left and right front covers 31a, and the number of parts can be reduced to suppress cost.

Further, since the display unit is the warning lamp unit 61, it is possible to cope with a vehicle state requiring emergency response by displaying a warning lamp such as vehicle information.

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of one aspect of the present invention, and any modifications and applications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the warning lamp unit 61 is disposed below the meter 43 in the extending direction of the display surface 43a of the meter 43, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the warning lamp unit 61 may be disposed above the meter 43. In this case, the inclination angle of the display surface 61a of the warning lamp unit 61 with respect to the horizontal 98 is the same as or larger than the inclination angle of the display surface 43a of the meter 43 with respect to the horizontal 98.

The present invention is not limited to the case of being applied to the motorcycle 10, and can be applied to a saddle-ride type vehicle including the motorcycle 10.
