ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a front cover for a multi-wheeled vehicle. Although such vehicles typically take the form of a motorcycle, motor scooter or a motor tri-cycle, no such limitations are inherent in the present invention. Rather, the present invention provides an aerodynamically efficient front cover for covering the front portion of such a multi-wheeled vehicle body forward of a head pipe and includes a front surface and at least two side surfaces. Auxiliary member such as headlights, radiators, horns or the like may be positioned within the protected area of the front cover. An inspection lid for covering the mounting portion of the handlebars and facilitating inspection of the auxiliary members is removably mounted between the opposite side surfaces of the front cover. Aternative embodiments include means of mounting a windshield and a headlight shield in a common plane and flush with the front cover. An embodiment is also provided wherein the front cover is divided into a plurality of sections, each of which may be independently removed from the front cover so as to permit repair of damaged portions of the front cover or to vary the air flow characteristics of the front cover.
