## Abstract

A saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure includes: a suspension that is arranged at a rearward position of a steering shaft and at an upward position of a power source; a support shaft that supports the suspension and that is provided between a pair of right and left arms; and a cover that is provided between the steering shaft and the suspension and that covers a space between the pair of right and left arms, wherein the cover includes a pair of right and left first cover parts that correspond to the pair of right and left arms and a second cover part that corresponds to the suspension, and the pair of right and left first cover parts and the second cover part are displaceable independently from each other.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure comprising:
a suspension that is arranged at a rearward position of a steering shaft and at an upward position of a power source;
a support shaft that supports the suspension and that is provided between a pair of right and left arms; and
a cover that is provided between the steering shaft and the suspension and that covers a space between the pair of right and left arms,
wherein the cover comprises
a pair of right and left first cover parts that correspond to the pair of right and left arms and
a second cover part that corresponds to the suspension, and
the pair of right and left first cover parts and the second cover part are displaceable independently from each other.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 1,
wherein the second cover part is arranged at a lower position than the pair of right and left first cover parts.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 1,
wherein the cover has a slit between the pair of right and left first cover parts and the second cover part.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 3,
wherein a length of the slit is larger than a swing amount of the suspension.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 1,
wherein the pair of right and left first cover parts are in contact with the pair of right and left arms.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 1,
wherein the cover has flexibility, and
a holder that has a cylindrical shape and that rotatably supports the steering shaft and a bend part that is bent along the arm are provided on the cover.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 1,
wherein the cover further comprises a wide width part that extends in a vertical direction along a rear part of a holder which has a cylindrical shape and which rotatably supports the steering shaft and that extends in a vehicle width direction,
each of the pair of right and left first cover parts extends rearward from a lower end of each of right and left side portions of the wide width part and covers an upper surface of the pair of right and left arms, and
the second cover part is arranged to be spaced from the pair of right and left first cover parts and in a space in the vehicle width direction between the pair of right and left first cover parts and extends from a lower end of a middle portion of the wide width part toward a lower rear end of the suspension.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The saddle-riding-vehicle front part structure according to claim 7,
wherein the second cover part comprises
a first extension portion that extends rearward and downward from a lower end of the wide width part and
a second extension portion that extends frontward and downward from a rear end of the first extension portion, and
the second extension portion extends along an axis line direction of the suspension.
