Abstract
A cowling structure for a straddle-type vehicle. The cowling structure includes a front cowling covering a vehicle front portion from a front side, and a pair of side cowlings covering the vehicle front portion from lateral sides. The pair of side cowlings each include an outer cowling forming an outer surface of the side cowling, and an inner cowling forming an inner surface of the side cowling. The inner cowling is formed with a ventilation hole through which traveling wind passing below the front cowling blows toward a rear side.

A cowling structure for a straddle-type vehicle, the cowling structure comprising:
- a front cowling covering a vehicle front portion from a front side;
- and
- a pair of side cowlings covering the vehicle front portion from lateral sides,
- wherein the pair of side cowlings each include:
- an outer cowling forming an outer surface of the side cowling;
- and
- an inner cowling forming an inner surface of the side cowling,
- wherein the outer cowling and the inner cowling are overlapped in a left-right direction to form side cowling hollow, and
- wherein the inner cowling is formed with a ventilation hole through which traveling wind passing below the front cowling blows toward a rear side,
- wherein the inner cowling is formed with a bulging portion bulging toward an inner side in a vehicle width direction, and
- a lower wall of the bulging portion is inclined obliquely downward to the rear side, below the front cowling, and
- wherein the ventilation hole is formed in the lower wall of the bulging portion.
A cowling structure for a straddle-type vehicle, the cowling structure comprising:
