The front cowl is formed with a right opening and a left opening aligned in the vehicle width direction. The light unit has a right light emitting part, a left light emitting part, a right light emitting surface, and a left light emitting surface. The right light emitting part is provided in the right opening. The right light-emitting part is located on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center. The left light emitting part is provided in the left opening. The left side light emitting unit is located on the left side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center. The right light emitting surface is located in front of the right light emitting unit. The right light exit surface transmits light from the right light emitting unit forward of the vehicle. The left light emitting surface is located in front of the left light emitting unit. The left side light exit surface transmits light from the left side light emitting unit forward of the vehicle. A right-side concave portion that is recessed toward the right side in the vehicle width direction is formed in a portion on the left side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the right light-emitting portion of the right light emission surface. A left-side concave portion that is recessed toward the left side in the vehicle width direction is formed in a portion on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the left light-emitting portion of the left light emitting surface.

　発光部６０は、発光するものであれば特に限定されない。発光部６０は、例えば、電球や、ランプ、ＬＥＤ（ｌｉｇｈｔ　ｅｍｉｔｔｉｎｇ　ｄｉｏｄｅ）などの発光素子等によって構成することができる。ランプの具体例としては、例えば、白熱灯、キセノンランプ、ハロゲンランプ等が挙げられる。 The light emitting unit 60 is not particularly limited as long as it emits light. The light emitting unit 60 can be configured by, for example, a light emitting element such as a light bulb, a lamp, or an LED (light emitting diode). Specific examples of the lamp include an incandescent lamp, a xenon lamp, a halogen lamp, and the like.
　本実施形態では、発光部６０は、第１の発光部としてのウインカーライト６１と、第２の発光部としてのヘッドライト６２とを含む。図５に示すように、ウインカーライト６１は、ヘッドライト６２よりも高い位置であって、車幅方向外側に配置されている。 In the present embodiment, the light emitting unit 60 includes a blinker light 61 as a first light emitting unit and a headlight 62 as a second light emitting unit. As shown in FIG. 5, the blinker light 61 is located higher than the headlight 62 and is disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction.
　ウインカーライト６１は、右側または左側に曲がるときに点滅または点灯させるライトである。ウインカーライト６１は、一般的に、黄色系または橙色系の光を出射する。 The blinker light 61 is a light that blinks or lights up when turning to the right or left. The blinker light 61 generally emits yellow or orange light.
　一方、ヘッドライト６２は、夜間など、周囲が暗いときに、点灯させてライダーの視界を確保するためのものである。ヘッドライト６２は、通常、白色系の光を出射する。但し、ウインカーライト６１及びヘッドライト６２の発光色は特に上記発光色に限定されない。例えば、ヘッドライト６２は、黄色系の光や青色系の光を出射するものであってもよい。 On the other hand, the headlight 62 is lit to ensure the rider's field of view when the surroundings are dark, such as at night. The headlight 62 usually emits white light. However, the emission colors of the blinker light 61 and the headlight 62 are not particularly limited to the above emission colors. For example, the headlight 62 may emit yellow light or blue light.
　なお、本実施形態では、発光部がウインカーライトまたはヘッドライトである場合を例に挙げて説明する。但し、発光部は、ポジションライトなどの他のライトであってもよい。例えば、ウインカーライト６１に替えてポジションライトを配置してもよい。 In the present embodiment, a case where the light emitting unit is a blinker light or a headlight will be described as an example. However, the light emitting unit may be another light such as a position light. For example, a position light may be arranged instead of the blinker light 61.
　図６に示すように、発光部６０は、ハウジング３１の内部に収納されている。ハウジング３１は、前方に向かって開口する凹状に形成されている。ハウジング３１の前側の表面には、反射層３５が形成されている。この反射層３５によって、発光部６０からハウジング３１側に出射した光が前方に反射される。反射層３５には、後述するウインカーライト用反射層３６と、ヘッドライト用反射層３７とが含まれる。 As shown in FIG. 6, the light emitting unit 60 is housed inside the housing 31. The housing 31 is formed in a concave shape that opens forward. A reflective layer 35 is formed on the front surface of the housing 31. The light emitted from the light emitting unit 60 toward the housing 31 is reflected forward by the reflective layer 35. The reflective layer 35 includes a winker light reflective layer 36 and a headlight reflective layer 37 which will be described later.
　なお、反射層３５は必ずしも設ける必要はない。例えば、発光部６０が、前方のみに光を出射し、ハウジング３１側に光を出射しない場合には、反射層３５を設けなくてもよい。 Note that the reflective layer 35 is not necessarily provided. For example, when the light emitting unit 60 emits light only forward and does not emit light to the housing 31 side, the reflective layer 35 may not be provided.
　詳細には、ハウジング３１には、ウインカーライトハウジング部３２と、ヘッドライトハウジング部３３とが含まれる。ウインカーライトハウジング部３２とヘッドライトハウジング部３３とのそれぞれは、前側に向かって開口する凹状に形成されている。ウインカーライトハウジング部３２は、ヘッドライトハウジング部３３の上側に配置されている。ウインカーライトハウジング部３２は、ヘッドライトハウジング部３３よりも小さく形成されている。ウインカーライトハウジング部３２は、正面視において、略三角形状に形成されている。ヘッドライトハウジング部３３は、正面視において、略四辺形状に形成されている。 Specifically, the housing 31 includes a turn signal light housing portion 32 and a headlight housing portion 33. Each of the blinker light housing portion 32 and the headlight housing portion 33 is formed in a concave shape that opens toward the front side. The blinker light housing part 32 is arranged on the upper side of the headlight housing part 33. The blinker light housing part 32 is formed smaller than the headlight housing part 33. The blinker light housing portion 32 is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the front. The headlight housing portion 33 is formed in a substantially quadrilateral shape when viewed from the front.
　ウインカーライトハウジング部３２には、ウインカーライト６１が収納されている。ウインカーライトハウジング部３２の表面には、ウインカーライト用反射層３６が形成されている。このウインカーライト用反射層３６によって、ウインカーライト６１からウインカーライトハウジング部３２側に向けて出射された光が光出射面５０側に反射される。 A turn signal light 61 is accommodated in the turn signal light housing portion 32. A turn signal light reflecting layer 36 is formed on the surface of the turn signal light housing portion 32. The turn signal light reflecting layer 36 reflects light emitted from the turn signal light 61 toward the turn signal light housing portion 32 toward the light emission surface 50 side.
　一方、ヘッドライトハウジング部３３には、ヘッドライト６２が収納されている。ヘッドライトハウジング部３３の表面には、ヘッドライト用反射層３７が形成されている。このヘッドライト用反射層３７によって、ヘッドライト６２からヘッドライトハウジング部３３側に向けて出射された光が光出射面５０側に反射される。 On the other hand, a headlight 62 is accommodated in the headlight housing portion 33. A headlight reflecting layer 37 is formed on the surface of the headlight housing portion 33. The headlight reflecting layer 37 reflects light emitted from the headlight 62 toward the headlight housing portion 33 toward the light emitting surface 50.
　図５に示すように、ウインカーライトハウジング部３２とヘッドライトハウジング部３３との間には、区画壁３４が形成されている。区画壁３４は、車幅方向に延びている。この区画壁３４によって、ウインカーライトハウジング部３２とヘッドライトハウジング部３３とが相互に区画されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, a partition wall 34 is formed between the blinker light housing portion 32 and the headlight housing portion 33. The partition wall 34 extends in the vehicle width direction. The partition wall 34 partitions the winker light housing part 32 and the headlight housing part 33 from each other.
　但し、区画壁３４は、アウタレンズ４０にまで延びていない。このため、ウインカーライト６１が配置された空間と、ヘッドライト６２が配置された空間とは、相互に完全に隔離されているわけではない。なお、区画壁３４をアウタレンズ４０にまで延びるように形成し、ウインカーライト６１が配置された空間と、ヘッドライト６２が配置された空間とを相互に実質的に隔離してもよい。 However, the partition wall 34 does not extend to the outer lens 40. For this reason, the space in which the blinker light 61 is disposed and the space in which the headlight 62 is disposed are not completely separated from each other. The partition wall 34 may be formed so as to extend to the outer lens 40, and the space in which the blinker light 61 is disposed and the space in which the headlight 62 is disposed may be substantially isolated from each other.
　図６に示すように、ハウジング３１の開口部には、アウタレンズ４０が取り付けられている。このアウタレンズ４０によって、ウインカーライト６１とヘッドライト６２との前側が覆われている。 As shown in FIG. 6, an outer lens 40 is attached to the opening of the housing 31. The outer lens 40 covers the front side of the blinker light 61 and the headlight 62.
　アウタレンズ４０は、光透過性を有する。図５に示すように、アウタレンズ４０には、光出射面５０が形成されている。発光部６０からの光は、この光出射面５０から出射される。 The outer lens 40 is light transmissive. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer lens 40 has a light exit surface 50. Light from the light emitting unit 60 is emitted from the light emitting surface 50.
　光出射面５０には、ウインカーライト光出射面５１と、ヘッドライト光出射面５２とが含まれる。ウインカーライト光出射面５１は、ウインカーライト６１の前側に配置されている。ヘッドライト光出射面５２は、ヘッドライト６２の前側に配置されている。ウインカーライト光出射面５１からは、ウインカーライト６１からの光が主として出射する。ヘッドライト光出射面５２からは、ヘッドライト６２からの光が主として出射する。 The light emission surface 50 includes a blinker light emission surface 51 and a headlight light emission surface 52. The blinker light emission surface 51 is disposed on the front side of the blinker light 61. The headlight light emission surface 52 is disposed on the front side of the headlight 62. From the turn signal light emitting surface 51, light from the turn signal light 61 is mainly emitted. From the headlight light emitting surface 52, light from the headlight 62 is mainly emitted.
　ヘッドライト光出射面５２は、ウインカーライト光出射面５１よりも大きく形成されている。ヘッドライト光出射面５２は、ウインカーライト光出射面５１よりも車幅方向内側にまで至るように形成されている。逆に、ウインカーライト光出射面５１は、ヘッドライト光出射面５２よりも車幅方向外側にまで至るように形成されている。 The headlight light emission surface 52 is formed larger than the winker light light emission surface 51. The headlight light emission surface 52 is formed so as to reach the inner side in the vehicle width direction than the turn signal light emission surface 51. Conversely, the winker light emission surface 51 is formed so as to reach the outer side in the vehicle width direction than the headlight light emission surface 52.
　図５に示すように、ウインカーライト光出射面５１の車幅方向における少なくとも一方の部分には、ウインカーライト６１側に延びる凹部５１ａが形成されている。凹部５１ａは、ウインカーライト６１側に延びている。言い換えれば、凹部５１ａの先端部は、凹部５１ａの基端部よりもウインカーライト６１側に位置している。さらに言い換えれば、凹部５１ａは、ウインカーライト６１側に凹んでいる。凹部５１ａは、ウインカーライト光出射面５１の車幅方向内側の部分に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, at least one portion in the vehicle width direction of the turn signal light emission surface 51 is formed with a recess 51 a extending toward the turn signal light 61 side. The recess 51a extends to the turn signal light 61 side. In other words, the distal end portion of the recess 51a is located closer to the turn signal light 61 than the proximal end portion of the recess 51a. In other words, the recessed portion 51a is recessed toward the turn signal light 61 side. The recess 51a is formed in a portion of the winker light light emission surface 51 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction.
　なお、本実施形態では、凹部５１ａは、頂角が鋭角である正面視略三角形状に形成されている。但し、本発明において、凹部５１ａの形状は特に限定されない。凹部５１ａの形状は、例えばね正面視において、略矩形状、台形状、半円状等であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, the recess 51a is formed in a substantially triangular shape in front view with an acute angle. However, in the present invention, the shape of the recess 51a is not particularly limited. The shape of the recess 51a may be, for example, a substantially rectangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, or a semicircular shape when viewed from the front.
　凹部５１ａは、高さ方向において、ウインカーライト６１の少なくとも一部と重なっている。具体的に本実施形態では、凹部５１ａは、高さ方向において、ウインカーライト６１の略中央部から下側の部分と重なっている。 The recess 51a overlaps at least a part of the turn signal light 61 in the height direction. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the concave portion 51a overlaps the lower portion from the substantially central portion of the blinker light 61 in the height direction.
　詳細には、フロントカウル２４の開口部２４ｂには、ウインカーライト６１側に延びる突出部２４ａが形成されている。突出部２４ａは、ウインカーライト６１に対して車幅方向の内側に位置している。突出部２４ａは、ウインカーライト６１に対して、ウインカーライト６１からの光の出射方向側に配置されている。突出部２４ａは、ウインカーライト６１からの光の少なくとも一部を遮る。すなわち、突出部２４ａは、遮光部としての機能を有している。 Specifically, the opening 24b of the front cowl 24 is formed with a protrusion 24a that extends toward the turn signal light 61 side. The protrusion 24 a is located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the blinker light 61. The protrusion 24 a is disposed on the light emission direction side of the turn signal light 61 with respect to the turn signal light 61. The protrusion 24 a blocks at least part of the light from the blinker light 61. That is, the protruding portion 24a has a function as a light shielding portion.
　突出部２４ａは、正面視においてウインカーライト６１に向かって延びている。突出部２４ａの少なくとも一部は、高さ方向において、ウインカーライト６１の上端と下端との間に位置している。 The protrusion 24a extends toward the turn signal light 61 in a front view. At least a part of the protruding portion 24a is located between the upper end and the lower end of the blinker light 61 in the height direction.
　この突出部２４ａがアウタレンズ４０の上に配置されていることで、ウインカーライト光出射面５１に凹部５１ａが形成されている。 Since the protruding portion 24a is disposed on the outer lens 40, a concave portion 51a is formed in the turn signal light emitting surface 51.
　図４に示すように、突出部２４ａは、側面視において視認可能なように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 24a is formed so as to be visible in a side view.
　以上説明したように、本実施形態では、図５に示すように、ウインカーライト光出射面５１の車幅方向における少なくとも一方の部分に、突出部２４ａが配置されることにより、凹部５１ａが形成されている。凹部５１ａは、ウインカーライト６１側に延びている。そして、凹部５１ａは、高さ方向において、ウインカーライト６１の少なくとも一部と重なっている。従って、車幅方向において、ウインカーライト６１から出射される光の照射範囲をより適正にすることができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the protrusions 24 a are arranged in at least one part of the turn signal light emission surface 51 in the vehicle width direction, so that the recesses 51 a are formed. ing. The recess 51a extends to the turn signal light 61 side. And the recessed part 51a has overlapped with at least one part of the blinker light 61 in the height direction. Therefore, the irradiation range of the light emitted from the blinker light 61 can be made more appropriate in the vehicle width direction.
　具体的に、本実施形態のように、ウインカーライト光出射面５１の車幅方向内側の部分に凹部５１ａを形成することによって、車幅方向一方側に配置されたウインカーライト６１からの光が車幅方向他方側に出射されることを抑制することができる。 Specifically, as in the present embodiment, the concave portion 51a is formed on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the turn signal light emitting surface 51, so that the light from the turn signal light 61 arranged on one side in the vehicle width direction Emitting to the other side in the width direction can be suppressed.
　例えば、ウインカーライト６１に替えてポジションライトを配置する場合も同様に、ポジションライトからの光が主として出射する光出射面の車幅方向内側の部分に凹部を形成することが好ましい。そうすることで、車幅方向一方側に配置されたポジションライトからの光が車幅方向他方側に出射されることを抑制することができる。 For example, when a position light is disposed instead of the turn signal light 61, similarly, it is preferable to form a concave portion in the vehicle width direction inside portion of the light emitting surface from which the light from the position light mainly emits. By doing so, it can suppress that the light from the position light arrange | positioned at the vehicle width direction one side is radiate | emitted to the vehicle width direction other side.
　また、凹部５１ａの形状を変更することによって、車幅方向におけるウインカーライト６１からの光の照射範囲を容易に調節することができる。 Further, by changing the shape of the recess 51a, the irradiation range of the light from the turn signal light 61 in the vehicle width direction can be easily adjusted.
　以下、図８～図１０に表す例を参照しながらさらに詳細に説明する。図８は、発光部１７０の光出射面１７１に、車幅方向に延びる凹部を形成しない例を表す模式的な断面図である。図９及び図１０は、発光部７０の光出射面７１に、遮光部７２を配置することによって、光出射面７１に、高さ方向において発光部７０の一部と重なる凹部７１ａを形成した例を表す模式的な断面図である。 Hereinafter, further detailed description will be given with reference to the examples shown in FIGS. FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating an example in which a concave portion extending in the vehicle width direction is not formed on the light emitting surface 171 of the light emitting unit 170. 9 and 10 show an example in which a light shielding surface 72 is arranged on the light emitting surface 71 of the light emitting unit 70 so that a concave portion 71a that overlaps a part of the light emitting unit 70 in the height direction is formed on the light emitting surface 71. It is a typical sectional view showing.
　図８に示すように、光出射面１７１に凹部を設けない場合には、通常、発光部１７０からの光が車幅方向右側のみならず、車幅方向左側にも出射されやすい。それに対して、図９及び図１０では、光出射面７１の車幅方向左側の部分に凹部７１ａが形成されている。このため、発光部７０からの光が車幅方向左側に出射されることが抑制される。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the light exit surface 171 is not provided with a recess, normally, the light from the light emitting unit 170 is easily emitted not only on the right side in the vehicle width direction but also on the left side in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, in FIGS. 9 and 10, a concave portion 71 a is formed in the left portion of the light emitting surface 71 in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, it is suppressed that the light from the light emission part 70 is radiate | emitted to the vehicle width direction left side.
　また、図９及び図１０に示すように、凹部７１ａの形状や大きさを調節することで、発光部７０からの光の車幅方向左側の照射範囲を容易に調節することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the irradiation range of the light from the light emitting unit 70 on the left side in the vehicle width direction can be easily adjusted by adjusting the shape and size of the recess 71a.
　例えば、四輪車であれば、車幅が比較的広い。このため、車幅方向一方側に配置されたウインカーライト６１やポジションライトからの光が車幅方向他方側に漏れにくい傾向にある。それに対して、鞍乗型車両は、車幅が比較的狭い。このため、車幅方向一方側に配置されたウインカーライト６１やポジションライトからの光が車幅方向他方側に漏れやすい傾向にある。従って、光出射面に車幅方向に延びる凹部を形成することは、鞍乗型車両において効果的である。 For example, a four-wheeled vehicle has a relatively wide vehicle width. For this reason, the light from the turn signal light 61 and the position light arranged on one side in the vehicle width direction tends not to leak to the other side in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, the saddle riding type vehicle has a relatively narrow vehicle width. For this reason, the light from the blinker light 61 and the position light arranged on one side in the vehicle width direction tends to easily leak to the other side in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, it is effective in a straddle-type vehicle to form a recess extending in the vehicle width direction on the light exit surface.
　また、自動二輪車は、特に車幅が狭い。このため、車幅方向一方側に配置されたウインカーライト６１やポジションライトからの光が車幅方向他方側により漏れやすい傾向にある。従って、光出射面に車幅方向に延びる凹部を形成することは、自動二輪車において特に効果的である。 Also, motorcycles are particularly narrow. For this reason, the light from the turn signal light 61 and the position light arranged on one side in the vehicle width direction tends to leak more easily on the other side in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, it is particularly effective in a motorcycle to form a recess extending in the vehicle width direction on the light exit surface.
　なお、図１６に示すように、ウインカーライト１０４とヘッドライト１０３との間に介在部１０５を形成することも考えられる。しかしながら、図１６に示すライトユニット１０２では、介在部１０５は、正面視において上下方向に延びている。このため、介在部１０５とウインカーライト１０４との間の距離が長い。また、図１６では、ウインカーライト１０４と介在部１０５とが、高さ方向において実質的に重なっていない。それに対して本実施形態では、凹部５１ａは、ウインカーライト６１側に延びると共に、ウインカーライト６１と高さ方向において重なっている。このため、本実施形態によれば、図１６に示す場合よりもウインカーライト６１から出射される光の照射範囲をより効果的に適正化することができる。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, it is also conceivable to form an interposition part 105 between the blinker light 104 and the headlight 103. However, in the light unit 102 shown in FIG. 16, the interposition part 105 is extended in the up-down direction in the front view. For this reason, the distance between the interposition part 105 and the blinker light 104 is long. In FIG. 16, the blinker light 104 and the interposition part 105 do not substantially overlap in the height direction. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the recess 51a extends toward the turn signal light 61 and overlaps the turn signal light 61 in the height direction. For this reason, according to this embodiment, the irradiation range of the light radiate | emitted from the blinker light 61 can be optimized more effectively than the case shown in FIG.
　また、本実施形態のように、ヘッドライト光出射面５２には凹部を形成しない一方、ウインカーライト光出射面５１に凹部５１ａを形成することによって、ヘッドライト６２からの光の照射範囲と、ウインカーライト６１からの光の照射範囲をより確実に相互に異ならしめることができる。 In addition, unlike the present embodiment, the concave portion is not formed on the headlight light emitting surface 52, while the concave portion 51a is formed on the blinker light emitting surface 51, so that the irradiation range of light from the headlight 62 and the blinker can be increased. The irradiation range of the light from the light 61 can be made different from each other more reliably.
　より具体的には、本実施形態では、図１７に示すように、ヘッドライト６２の一部を構成する右側ヘッドライト６２ａは、車両中心に対して車幅方向の右側であって、右側ウインカーライト６１ａよりも下側に配置されている。そして、右側凹部４１ａの少なくとも一部は、高さ方向において、右側ウインカーライト６１ａと右側ヘッドライト６２ａとの間に位置している。また、右側ヘッドライト６２ａは、右側ウインカーライト６１ａよりも左側に位置している。そして、右側凹部４１ａの少なくとも一部は、車幅方向において、右側ウインカーライト６１ａと右側ヘッドライト６２ａとの間に位置している。このため、自動二輪車１を正面から視た際に、右側ヘッドライト６２ａと右側ウインカーライト６１ａとの光が混じることが抑制される。従って、右側ウインカーライト６１ａの視認性を高めることができる。 More specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the right headlight 62a constituting a part of the headlight 62 is on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center, and the right turn signal light It is arranged below 61a. And at least one part of the right side recessed part 41a is located between the right side blinker light 61a and the right side headlight 62a in the height direction. Further, the right headlight 62a is located on the left side of the right turn signal light 61a. And at least one part of the right side recessed part 41a is located between the right side blinker light 61a and the right side headlight 62a in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, when the motorcycle 1 is viewed from the front, mixing of light from the right headlight 62a and the right turn signal light 61a is suppressed. Therefore, the visibility of the right turn signal light 61a can be improved.
　また、ヘッドライト６２の一部を構成する左側ヘッドライト６２ｂは、車両中心に対して車幅方向の左側であって、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂよりも下側に配置されている。そして、左側凹部４２ａの少なくとも一部は、高さ方向において、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂと左側ヘッドライト６２ｂとの間に位置している。また、左側ヘッドライト６２ｂは、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂよりも右側に位置している。そして、左側凹部４２ａの少なくとも一部は、車幅方向において、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂと左側ヘッドライト６２ｂとの間に位置している。このため、自動二輪車１を正面から視た際に、左側ヘッドライト６２ｂと左側ウインカーライト６１ｂとの光が混じることが抑制される。従って、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの視認性を高めることができる。 Further, the left headlight 62b constituting a part of the headlight 62 is arranged on the left side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center and below the left turn signal light 61b. At least a part of the left recess 42a is located between the left turn signal light 61b and the left headlight 62b in the height direction. The left headlight 62b is located on the right side of the left turn signal light 61b. At least a part of the left concave portion 42a is located between the left turn signal light 61b and the left headlight 62b in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, when the motorcycle 1 is viewed from the front, mixing of light from the left headlight 62b and the left blinker light 61b is suppressed. Therefore, the visibility of the left turn signal light 61b can be improved.
　また、本実施形態では、図１７～図１９に示すように、上記開口部２４ｂには、車両中心に対して車幅方向右側に位置する右側開口部２４ｂ１と、車両中心に対して車幅方向左側に位置する左側開口部２４ｂ２とが含まれている。すなわち、フロントカウル２４には、右側開口部２４ｂ１と、左側開口部２４ｂ２とが形成されている。右側開口部２４ｂ１と左側開口部２４ｂ２とは、車幅方向に並んでいる。そして、右側開口部２４ｂ１には、右側発光部としての右側ウインカーライト６１ａが設けられている。右側ウインカーライト６１ａは、車両中心に対して車幅方向の右側に位置している。一方、左側開口部２４ｂ２には、左側発光部としての左側ウインカーライト６１ｂが設けられている。左側ウインカーライト６１ｂは、車両中心に対して車幅方向の左側に位置している。なお、右側ウインカーライト６１ａと左側ウインカーライト６１ｂとは、上述のウインカーライト６１に含まれる。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the opening 24b includes a right opening 24b1 located on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center, and a vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center. A left opening 24b2 located on the left side is included. That is, the front cowl 24 is formed with a right opening 24b1 and a left opening 24b2. The right opening 24b1 and the left opening 24b2 are arranged in the vehicle width direction. The right opening 24b1 is provided with a right turn signal light 61a as a right light emitting part. The right turn signal light 61a is located on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center. On the other hand, a left turn signal light 61b as a left light emitting part is provided in the left opening 24b2. The left turn signal light 61b is located on the left side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle center. The right turn signal light 61a and the left turn signal light 61b are included in the turn signal light 61 described above.
　そして、ライトユニット３０には、右側ウインカーライト６１ａの前方に位置しており、右側ウインカーライト６１ａからの光が出射する右側光出射面４１と、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの前方に位置しており、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂからの光が出射する左側光出射面４２とが設けられている。右側光出射面４１は、右側ウインカーライト６１ａからの光を車両前方に透過させる。左側光出射面４２は、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂからの光を車両前方に透過させる。なお、右側光出射面４１と左側光出射面４２とは、上述のウインカーライト光出射面５１に含まれる。 The light unit 30 is positioned in front of the right turn signal light 61a, and is positioned in front of the right turn signal light 41b from which the light from the right turn signal light 61a is emitted and the left turn signal light 61b. A left light exit surface 42 through which light from the blinker light 61b exits is provided. The right light emission surface 41 transmits light from the right turn signal light 61a to the front of the vehicle. The left-side light exit surface 42 transmits light from the left turn signal light 61b to the front of the vehicle. The right light exit surface 41 and the left light exit surface 42 are included in the blinker light exit surface 51 described above.
　右側光出射面４１の右側ウインカーライト６１ａよりも車幅方向左側の部分には、車幅方向右側に向かってへこむ右側凹部４１ａが形成されている。具体的には、本実施形態では、右側凹部４１ａは、正面視において、右側光出射面４１の右側ウインカーライト６１ａの車幅方向左方の部分に位置している。右側凹部４１ａの前方には、フロントカウル２４の突出部２４ａにより構成される右側遮光部２４ａ１が位置している。 A right-side concave portion 41a that is recessed toward the right side in the vehicle width direction is formed in a portion on the left side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the right turn signal light 61a of the right side light emission surface 41. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the right concave portion 41a is located at the left portion in the vehicle width direction of the right turn signal light 61a of the right light emission surface 41 in the front view. A right light-shielding portion 24a1 constituted by the protruding portion 24a of the front cowl 24 is located in front of the right concave portion 41a.
　また、左側光出射面４２の左側ウインカーライト６１ｂよりも車幅方向右側の部分には、車幅方向左側に向かってへこむ左側凹部４２ａが形成されている。具体的には、本実施形態では、左側凹部４２ａは、正面視において、左側光出射面４２の左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの車幅方向右方の部分に位置している。左側凹部４２ａの前方には、フロントカウル２４の突出部２４ａにより構成される左側遮光部２４ａ２が位置している。 Further, a left-side concave portion 42a that is recessed toward the left side in the vehicle width direction is formed in a portion on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the left turn signal light 61b of the left light emitting surface 42. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the left concave portion 42a is located at the right side in the vehicle width direction of the left blinker light 61b of the left light exit surface 42 in the front view. A left light-shielding portion 24a2 constituted by the protruding portion 24a of the front cowl 24 is located in front of the left concave portion 42a.
　このように、本実施形態では、右側光出射面４１に右側凹部４１ａが形成されている。このため、右側ウインカーライト６１ａの光が車両中心よりも車幅方向の左側に洩れることが効果的に抑制されている。また、左側光出射面４２に左側凹部４２ａが形成されている。このため、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの光が車両中心よりも車幅方向の右側に漏れることが効果的に抑制されている。その結果、右側ウインカーライト６１ａの照射範囲と、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの照射範囲とのそれぞれを適正化することができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the right concave portion 41a is formed in the right light emitting surface 41. For this reason, the light of the right turn signal light 61a is effectively suppressed from leaking to the left in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle center. Further, a left recess 42 a is formed on the left light exit surface 42. For this reason, the light of the left turn signal light 61b is effectively suppressed from leaking to the right side in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle center. As a result, the irradiation range of the right turn signal light 61a and the irradiation range of the left turn signal light 61b can be optimized.
　特に、本実施形態では、右側凹部４１ａの車幅方向の最も右側の頂部が、高さ方向において右側ウインカーライト６１ａの上端と下端との間に位置している。従って、右側ウインカーライト６１ａからの光が車両中心よりも車幅方向左側に洩れることがより効果的に抑制されている。また、左側凹部４２ａの車幅方向の最も左側の頂部は、高さ方向において左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの上端と下端との間に位置している。従って、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂからの光が車両中心よりも車幅方向右側に洩れることがより効果的に抑制されている。 In particular, in the present embodiment, the rightmost top portion in the vehicle width direction of the right concave portion 41a is located between the upper end and the lower end of the right turn signal light 61a in the height direction. Therefore, the light from the right turn signal light 61a is more effectively suppressed from leaking to the left side in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle center. The leftmost apex of the left recess 42a in the vehicle width direction is located between the upper end and the lower end of the left turn signal light 61b in the height direction. Therefore, the light from the left turn signal light 61b is more effectively suppressed from leaking to the right side in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle center.
　また、図２０に示すように、右側凹部４１ａの車幅方向の最も右側の頂部と、右側凹部４１ａの上側端部とを通る直線Ｌ１と、右側凹部４１ａの車幅方向の最も右側の頂部と、右側凹部４１ａの下側端部とを通る直線Ｌ２とのなす角Ａ１が鋭角である。すなわち、角Ａ１の角度θ１が９０°未満である。このため、右側光出射面４１の面積を大きく保ちつつ、右側ウインカーライト６１ａから出射される光が車両中心よりも車幅方向左側に洩れることを効果的に抑制することができる。従って、ライトユニット３０から出射される、右側ウインカーライト６１ａからの光の光量を大きくしつつ、右側ウインカーライト６１ａから出射される光が車両中心よりも車幅方向左側に洩れることを効果的に抑制することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 20, a straight line L1 passing through the rightmost top portion of the right concave portion 41a in the vehicle width direction and an upper end portion of the right concave portion 41a, and a rightmost top portion of the right concave portion 41a in the vehicle width direction The angle A1 formed by the straight line L2 passing through the lower end of the right recess 41a is an acute angle. That is, the angle θ1 of the angle A1 is less than 90 °. For this reason, it can suppress effectively that the light radiate | emitted from the right turn signal light 61a leaks to the vehicle width direction left side rather than the vehicle center, keeping the area of the right light emission surface 41 large. Therefore, the amount of light emitted from the right turn signal light 61a emitted from the light unit 30 is increased, and the light emitted from the right turn signal light 61a is effectively suppressed from leaking to the left in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle center. can do.
　また、左側凹部４２ａの車幅方向の最も左側の頂部と、左側凹部４２ａの上側端部とを通る直線Ｌ３と、左側凹部４２ａの車幅方向の最も左側の頂部と、左側凹部４２ａの下側端部とを通る直線Ｌ４とのなす角Ａ２が鋭角である。すなわち、角Ａ２の角度θ２が９０°未満である。このため、左側光出射面４２の面積を大きく保ちつつ、左側ウインカーライト６１ａから出射される光が車両中心よりも車幅方向右側に洩れることを効果的に抑制することができる。従って、ライトユニット３０から出射される、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂからの光の光量を大きくしつつ、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂから出射される光が車両中心よりも車幅方向右側に洩れることを効果的に抑制することができる。 In addition, a straight line L3 passing through the leftmost apex of the left recess 42a in the vehicle width direction and the upper end of the left recess 42a, the leftmost apex of the left recess 42a in the vehicle width direction, and the lower side of the left recess 42a An angle A2 formed by a straight line L4 passing through the end is an acute angle. That is, the angle θ2 of the angle A2 is less than 90 °. For this reason, it can suppress effectively that the light radiate | emitted from the left turn signal light 61a leaks to the vehicle width direction right side rather than the vehicle center, keeping the area of the left light emission surface 42 large. Accordingly, the amount of light emitted from the left turn signal light 61b emitted from the light unit 30 is increased, and the light emitted from the left turn signal light 61b is effectively suppressed from leaking to the right in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle center. can do.
　ところで、例えば、上述のウインカーライト用反射層３６の一部を構成する右側反射層３６ａの一部が右側遮光部２４ａ１の後方に位置しないようにしようとすると、右側反射層３６ａの形状を、右側凹部４１ａの形状に沿って形成する必要がある。このため、右側反射層３６ａの形状の自由度が低下する。たとえば、右側反射層３６ａをいびつな形状に形成しなければならない場合もある。その場合、右側ウインカーライト６１ａからの光が右側反射層３６ａにおいて適切に反射されず、右側光出射面４１から出射する光の形状が乱れてしまう可能性がある。それに対して、本実施形態では、ウインカーライト用反射層３６のうち、右側ウインカーライト６１ａの後方に配置されている右側反射層３６ａの少なくとも一部は、右側遮光部２４ａ１の後方にも設けられている。このため、右側反射層３６ａの形状を、右側凹部４１ａの形状によらず、自由に設定することができる。すなわち、右側反射層３６ａの設計自由度が高い。従って、右側反射層３６ａの形状を、右側ウインカーライト６１ａからの出射光の形状を適正化できる形状とすることができる。 By the way, for example, if an attempt is made to prevent a part of the right reflecting layer 36a constituting a part of the above-described blinker light reflecting layer 36 from being positioned behind the right light shielding portion 24a1, the shape of the right reflecting layer 36a is changed to the right side. It is necessary to form along the shape of the recess 41a. For this reason, the freedom degree of the shape of the right side reflection layer 36a falls. For example, the right reflective layer 36a may need to be formed in an irregular shape. In that case, the light from the right turn signal light 61a is not properly reflected by the right reflection layer 36a, and the shape of the light emitted from the right light emission surface 41 may be disturbed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the right reflective layer 36a disposed behind the right turn signal light 61a in the turn signal light reflective layer 36 is also provided behind the right light shielding portion 24a1. Yes. For this reason, the shape of the right reflective layer 36a can be freely set regardless of the shape of the right concave portion 41a. That is, the degree of freedom in designing the right reflective layer 36a is high. Therefore, the shape of the right reflective layer 36a can be set to a shape that can optimize the shape of the emitted light from the right turn signal light 61a.
　同様に、本実施形態では、ウインカーライト用反射層３６のうち、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂの後方に配置されている左側反射層３６ｂの少なくとも一部は、左側遮光部２４ａ２の後方にも設けられている。このため、左側反射層３６ｂの形状を、左側凹部４２ａの形状によらず、自由に設定することができる。すなわち、左側反射層３６ｂの設計自由度が高い。従って、左側反射層３６ｂの形状を、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂからの出射光の形状を適正化できる形状とすることができる。 Similarly, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the left reflective layer 36b disposed behind the left turn signal light 61b in the turn signal light reflective layer 36 is also provided behind the left light shielding portion 24a2. . For this reason, the shape of the left reflective layer 36b can be freely set regardless of the shape of the left concave portion 42a. That is, the degree of freedom in designing the left reflective layer 36b is high. Therefore, the shape of the left reflective layer 36b can be set to a shape that can optimize the shape of the emitted light from the left turn signal light 61b.
　以下、本実施形態の変形例について説明する。但し、以下の説明において、上記実施形態と共通の機能を有する部材を共通の符号で参照し、説明を省略する。 Hereinafter, modifications of the present embodiment will be described. However, in the following description, members having the same functions as those of the above embodiment are referred to by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
《第１の変形例》
　上記実施形態では、ウインカーライト光出射面５１に凹部５１ａを形成する例について説明した。但し、本発明において、車幅方向に延びる凹部は、ヘッドライト光出射面５２や、ポジションライトの光出射面などに形成されていてもよい。また、上記実施形態のように、複数の発光部が設けられた所謂コンビライトの場合、複数の凹部を形成してもよい。換言すれば、フロントカウル２４に遮光部としての突出部を複数設けてもよい。 << First Modification >>
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the concave portion 51a is formed in the winker light light emission surface 51 has been described. However, in the present invention, the recess extending in the vehicle width direction may be formed in the headlight light exit surface 52, the light exit surface of the position light, or the like. In the case of a so-called combination light provided with a plurality of light emitting portions as in the above embodiment, a plurality of recesses may be formed. In other words, the front cowl 24 may be provided with a plurality of protruding portions as light shielding portions.
　例えば、図１１に示すように、上記実施形態と同様に、突出部２４ａを設けることにより、ウインカーライト光出射面５１に凹部５１ａを形成すると共に、突出部２４ｃを設けることにより、ヘッドライト光出射面５２に凹部５２ａを形成してもよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 11, similarly to the above-described embodiment, by providing the protruding portion 24 a, the concave portion 51 a is formed on the turn signal light emitting surface 51 and the protruding portion 24 c is provided, thereby emitting headlight light. A recess 52 a may be formed on the surface 52.
　ここで、凹部５２ａは、ヘッドライト光出射面５２の車幅方向外側の部分に、ヘッドライト６２側に延びるように形成されている。そして、凹部５２ａは、高さ方向において、ヘッドライト６２の少なくとも一部と重なっている。 Here, the recess 52a is formed on the outer side of the headlight light emitting surface 52 in the vehicle width direction so as to extend toward the headlight 62 side. The recess 52a overlaps at least a part of the headlight 62 in the height direction.
　突出部２４ｃは、開口部２４ｂに設けられている。突出部２４ｃは、ヘッドライト６２に対して車幅方向の外側に位置している。突出部２４ｃは、ヘッドライト６２に対してヘッドライト６２からの光の出射方向側に配置されている。突出部２４ｃは、ヘッドライト６２からの光の少なくとも一部を遮る。突出部２４ｃは、正面視において、ヘッドライト６２に向かって延びている。突出部２４ｃの少なくとも一部は、高さ方向において、ヘッドライト６２の上端と下端との間に位置している。 The protrusion 24c is provided in the opening 24b. The protruding portion 24 c is located outside the headlight 62 in the vehicle width direction. The protrusion 24 c is disposed on the light emission direction side of the headlight 62 with respect to the headlight 62. The protrusion 24 c blocks at least part of the light from the headlight 62. The protrusion 24c extends toward the headlight 62 when viewed from the front. At least a part of the projecting portion 24c is located between the upper end and the lower end of the headlight 62 in the height direction.
　このように、突出部２４ｃを配置することにより凹部５２ａを形成することによって、ウインカーライト６１の光の車幅方向における照射範囲のみならず、ヘッドライト６２の光の車幅方向における照射範囲もより適正化することができる。 Thus, by forming the recessed part 52a by disposing the protrusion 24c, not only the irradiation range in the vehicle width direction of the light of the blinker light 61 but also the irradiation range of the light of the headlight 62 in the vehicle width direction is more. Can be optimized.
　なお、ウインカーライト６１に対しては、上述の通り、ウインカーライト光出射面５１の車幅方向内側の部分に凹部５１ａを形成することが好ましい。それに対して、ヘッドライト６２の場合は、自動二輪車１の前方にヘッドライト６２からの光が集中する方が好ましい。このため、ヘッドライト６２の場合は、ヘッドライト光出射面５２の車幅方向外側の部分に凹部５２ａを形成することが好ましい。そうすることで、ヘッドライト６２からの光を前方により集中させることができる。 For the winker light 61, as described above, it is preferable to form the recess 51a in the inner portion of the winker light light emitting surface 51 in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, in the case of the headlight 62, it is preferable that the light from the headlight 62 is concentrated in front of the motorcycle 1. For this reason, in the case of the headlight 62, it is preferable to form the recess 52a in the outer portion of the headlight light emission surface 52 in the vehicle width direction. By doing so, the light from the headlight 62 can be concentrated more forward.
　すなわち、本変形例のように、突出部２４ａと突出部２４ｃとを配置することにより凹部５１ａと凹部５２ａとを形成することで、ヘッドライト６２とウインカーライト６１との両方の光の照射範囲をより適正にすることができる。具体的には、ヘッドライト６２からの光を前方に集中させると共に、車幅方向一方側に配置されたウインカーライト６１の光が車幅方向他方側に漏れることを抑制することができる。 That is, as in this modification, the projections 24a and 24c are arranged to form the recesses 51a and the recesses 52a, thereby reducing the light irradiation range of both the headlight 62 and the blinker lights 61. It can be made more appropriate. Specifically, the light from the headlight 62 can be concentrated forward, and the light of the turn signal light 61 disposed on one side in the vehicle width direction can be prevented from leaking to the other side in the vehicle width direction.
《第２の変形例》
　上記実施形態では、正面視において略三角形状の凹部５１ａを形成する例について説明した。ただし、本発明において、光出射面に形成された凹部の形状は特に限定されない。凹部は、正面視において、例えば、矩形状、台形状であってもよい。また、図１２に示すように、凹部５１ａは、外形が曲線状に形成されていてもよい。 << Second Modification >>
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the substantially triangular recess 51a is formed in the front view has been described. However, in the present invention, the shape of the recess formed on the light exit surface is not particularly limited. For example, the recess may be rectangular or trapezoidal in a front view. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 12, the external shape of the recessed part 51a may be formed in curve shape.
《第３の変形例》
　上記実施形態では、ライトユニット３０がフロントカウル２４に配置されている例について説明した。但し、ライトユニット３０が配置される位置は特に限定されない。図１３に示すように、例えば、ハンドルカバー２３にライトユニット３０を配置してもよい。 << Third Modification >>
In the above embodiment, an example in which the light unit 30 is disposed on the front cowl 24 has been described. However, the position where the light unit 30 is arranged is not particularly limited. As shown in FIG. 13, for example, the light unit 30 may be disposed on the handle cover 23.
　また、上記実施形態では、ウインカーライト６１とヘッドライト６２とが上下方向に相互に異なる位置に配置される例について説明した。但し、図１３に示すように、ウインカーライト６１とヘッドライト６２とは、上下方向において実質的に同じ位置となるように、車幅方向に配列されていてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the example in which the blinker light 61 and the headlight 62 are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 13, the blinker light 61 and the headlight 62 may be arranged in the vehicle width direction so as to be substantially in the same position in the vertical direction.
《第４の変形例》
　上記実施形態では、フロントカウル２４に突出部２４ａを形成することで凹部５１ａを形成した例について説明した。但し、本発明において、凹部５１ａの形成方法は、これに限定されない。例えば、アウタレンズ４０自体の正面視形状を凹部５１ａが形成された形状にしてもよい。 << Fourth Modification >>
In the above embodiment, the example in which the recess 51a is formed by forming the protrusion 24a on the front cowl 24 has been described. However, in the present invention, the method of forming the recess 51a is not limited to this. For example, the front view shape of the outer lens 40 itself may be a shape in which the recess 51a is formed.
　また、図１４に示すように、アウタレンズ４０の表面に、フロントカウル２４とは別の遮光部材８０を配置することで、凹部５１ａを形成してもよい。本変形例では、遮光部材８０は、ウインカーライト６１の車幅方向内側に位置している。遮光部材８０の少なくとも一部は、高さ方向においてウインカーライト６１の上端と下端との間に位置している。
　すなわち、図２１に示すように、アウタレンズ４０のうちの右側アウタレンズ４０ａの上に、遮光部材８０の一部を構成する右側遮光部材８０ａを取り付け、アウタレンズ４０のうちの左側アウタレンズ４０ｂの上に、遮光部材８０の一部を構成する右側遮光部材８０ｂを取り付けてもよい。この場合、これら右側及び左側遮光部材８０ａ、８０ｂによって、右側凹部４１ａと左側凹部４２ａとが形成される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the concave portion 51 a may be formed by disposing a light shielding member 80 different from the front cowl 24 on the surface of the outer lens 40. In the present modification, the light shielding member 80 is located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the blinker light 61. At least a part of the light shielding member 80 is located between the upper end and the lower end of the blinker light 61 in the height direction.
That is, as shown in FIG. 21, the right light shielding member 80 a constituting a part of the light shielding member 80 is attached on the right outer lens 40 a of the outer lens 40, and the light shielding is performed on the left outer lens 40 b of the outer lens 40. A right light shielding member 80b constituting a part of the member 80 may be attached. In this case, the right and left light shielding members 80a and 80b form a right recess 41a and a left recess 42a.
　なお、遮光部材８０は、例えば、非透光性の樹脂部材等によって構成することができる。また、遮光部材８０の内側表面に反射層を形成するようにしてもよい。そうすることで、ライトユニット３０からの光の出射光率をより高くすることができる。 In addition, the light shielding member 80 can be comprised by the non-light-transmissive resin member etc., for example. Further, a reflective layer may be formed on the inner surface of the light shielding member 80. By doing so, the light emission rate of the light from the light unit 30 can be further increased.
《第５の変形例》
　上記実施形態では、本発明を実施したライトユニットについて、複数の発光部を有する所謂コンビライトを例に挙げて説明した。但し、本発明に係るライトユニットは、所謂コンビライトに限定されない。図１５に示すように、ヘッドライト６２を有するヘッドライトユニット８２と、ウインカーライト６１を有するウインカーライトユニット８３とを別個に設けてもよい。そして、ウインカーライトユニット８３のウインカーライト光出射面５１に凹部５１ａを形成してもよい。 << Fifth Modification >>
In the embodiment described above, the light unit embodying the present invention has been described by taking a so-called combination light having a plurality of light emitting portions as an example. However, the light unit according to the present invention is not limited to so-called combination lights. As shown in FIG. 15, a headlight unit 82 having a headlight 62 and a winker light unit 83 having a blinker light 61 may be provided separately. And you may form the recessed part 51a in the turn signal light emission surface 51 of the turn signal light unit 83. FIG.
　また、本変形例では、図２２に示すように、ヘッドライト６２は、車幅方向における車体中心軸上であって右側ウインカーライト６１ａ及び左側ウインカーライト６１ｂよりも下側に配置されている。そして、右側凹部４１ａの少なくとも一部が、高さ方向において、右側ウインカーライト６１ａとヘッドライト６２との間に位置している。左側凹部４２ａの少なくとも一部が、高さ方向において、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂとヘッドライト６２との間に位置している。また、ヘッドライト６２は、車幅方向において、右側ウインカーライト６１ａと左側ウインカーライト６１ｂとの間に位置している。そして、右側凹部４１ａの少なくとも一部が、車幅方向において、右側ウインカーライト６１ａとヘッドライト６２との間に位置している。左側凹部４２ａの少なくとも一部が、車幅方向において、左側ウインカーライト６１ｂとヘッドライト６２との間に位置している。このため、自動二輪車を正面から視た際に、ヘッドライト６２と右側及び左側ウインカーライト６１ａ、６１ｂとの光が混じることが抑制される。従って、右側及び左側ウインカーライト６１ａ、６１ｂの視認性を高めることができる。 Further, in this modification, as shown in FIG. 22, the headlight 62 is disposed on the vehicle body center axis in the vehicle width direction and below the right turn signal light 61a and the left turn signal light 61b. At least a part of the right concave portion 41a is located between the right turn signal light 61a and the headlight 62 in the height direction. At least a part of the left concave portion 42a is located between the left blinker light 61b and the headlight 62 in the height direction. The headlight 62 is located between the right turn signal light 61a and the left turn signal light 61b in the vehicle width direction. And at least one part of the right side recessed part 41a is located between the right side blinker light 61a and the headlight 62 in the vehicle width direction. At least a part of the left concave portion 42a is located between the left blinker light 61b and the headlight 62 in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, when the motorcycle is viewed from the front, light from the headlight 62 and the right and left turn signal lights 61a and 61b are prevented from being mixed. Therefore, the visibility of the right and left turn signal lights 61a and 61b can be enhanced.
