A vehicle has a display device which widens the field of view (visible area) reflected by a side mirror or a back mirror mounted on the vehicle. To enable a driver driving the vehicle to confirm safety even when it is difficult for the driver to visually recognize some of objects surrounding the vehicle, a liquid crystal display device or an EL display device is provided in the side mirror (door mirror), the back mirror (room mirror) or in an interior portion of the vehicle. A camera is mounted on the vehicle and an image from the camera is displayed on the display device. Further, information read from a sensor (distance measuring sensor) having the function of measuring the distance to another vehicle, and a sensor (impact sensor) having the function of sensing an externally applied impact force larger than a predetermined value is displayed on the display device.

To provide a cowl structure for a vehicle for improving the appearance of the vehicle without increasing the weight of the vehicle and also for enhancing the operational stability. In a cowl structure for a vehicle which includes a front cowl for covering a front portion of a vehicle body, a radiator is positioned in front of the cylinder heads of the engine. A radiator cover is provided for covering the radiator ranging from side surfaces to a lower end of the radiator. Bulging portions are provided for bulging from a front portion to a rear portion of the radiator cover and being formed in a direction to be rearwardly and upwardly oblique in a side view of the vehicle. The bulging portions are formed on a lower end portion of the radiator cover.

A motorcycle capable of reducing air resistance against a portion of a fairing located on a headlight and improving rigidity of the portion of the fairing located on the headlight is provided. In this motorcycle, the headlight includes a front upper edge formed to outwardly extend beyond a pair of rearview mirror supports, and the fairing includes a screen having a lower edge arranged to be substantially entirely adjacent to the upper edge of the headlight.

A novel handlebar mounting device structured to mount to a mirror mount receiver on a handlebar where a mirror mounting stem supporting a mirror normally resides. The novel handlebar mounting device includes a pivot arm having a pivot base and a coupler interface with therebetween a pivot joint having an adjustable rotational stiffness. The pivot joint is formed of an arm and a hub relatively rotatably suspended therefrom, an elastomeric interface between the arm and the hub, and a means for compressing the elastomeric interface between the arm and the hub. A coupler component is formed on the coupler interface. A connector is adapted for securing the pivot base to a mirror mount receiver on a handlebar where a mirror mounting stem supporting a mirror normally resides.

A novel mirror adapter mount for mounting between a handlebar mirror mount and a mirror normally secured thereto. According to one embodiment, the mirror adapter mount having a substantially rigid bracket with a first and second spaced-apart apertures each structured to receive a threaded shaft of the mirror, a threaded coupler having a shaft having a threaded portion thereof that is sized to be received through the first aperture in the bracket; a first securing means for securing the threaded portion of the shaft of the coupler to the handlebar mirror mount with a portion of the bracket secured there between; and a second securing means for securing the threaded shaft of the mirror to the second aperture of the bracket.

A multifunctional safety, information and comfort device to be mounted on a vehicle, preferably a bicycle, comprises a rear-view mirror, an alphanumeric and iconographic display, sensors for measuring kinetic and environmental parameters, electronic components for measuring time and controlling said device, and an independent power supply.

A direction light and illumination device for bicycle includes a direction light unit arranged to a bicycle handling and a rear portion of a bicycle frame. The direction light unit includes a front support, a rear support, a front left light, a front right light, a rear left light, a rear right light, and a controller. The front left light and the front right light are arranged to two ends of the front support. The rear left light and the rear right light are arranged to two ends of the rear support. The controller is electrically connected to all direction lights so as to light up both two right or left lights for indicating a turning direction for safety.

A detachable footrest for use on a vehicle. The footrest has a surface area sized and shaped to accommodate a foot of a user and at least one support arm attached to a support structure. The footrest also includes two downward projections projecting from the support structure. The downward projections are sized and shaped to fit within hinge mounts of a removed door of the vehicle. The projections are slid into the hinge mounts of the removed door of the vehicle, thereby providing a surface area outside of the vehicle for resting the foot of the user. The footrest may also include a stabilizer projecting from the support structure and fastened to a mounting post located in an interior of the vehicle.
