Abstract
A protection device is described for the ends of a handlebar (M) of a motorcycle, of the type comprising a protection member which can be attached to the ends of said handlebar (M), which comprises a structural protection member (1) which can be attached with an attachment portion (2°) to the ends of said handlebar (M), and having an aerodynamic guard (3) intended to be positioned in front of an actuation lever (L) of said handlebar (M) of the motorcycle, the aerodynamic guard being configured to reduce the dynamic pressure downstream thereof.
Claims11
A protection device which can be attached to the end of a handlebar (M) of a motorcycle, comprising:
- an L-shaped structural member comprising two legs orthogonally joined to one another,
- wherein one leg of the L-shaped structural member has an adjustable length and has an attachment portion for attachment to the end of said handlebar (M), and
- wherein the other leg of the L-shaped structural member constitutes an aerodynamic guard intended to be positioned in front of an actuation lever (L) of said handlebar (M), the aerodynamic guard being configured to reduce the dynamic pressure downstream thereof, and
- wherein the length of the adjustable leg is adjustable to obtain a distance (d) between the aerodynamic guard and the actuation lever (L) which equals a maximum height (h max) or a maximum depth or aerodynamic chord (p max) of the aerodynamic guard.
