Axle cover and motorcycle having the same

摘要

A motorcycle including a fork assembly, a wheel including a wheel axle connected to the fork assembly, a bushing rotatably mounted on the wheel axle (e.g., by a spherical bearing), and an axle cover mounted on the bushing. The axle cover includes a base portion having a periphery, and a skirt portion extending away from at least a part of the periphery of the base portion. The skirt portion preferably defines at least one gap adapted to receive a fender strap to thereby allow the fender strap to be recessed into the axle cover. The axle cover can also include an opening through which the bushing is positioned. In addition, a hub cap can be connected to the bushing such that the axle cover is compressed between the hub cap and the bushing.
