Abstract
A windshield device provided at a front part of a vehicle body of a saddle ride type vehicle includes an air introduction port provided at a front part of the windshield device and opened toward the front side of the vehicle body. An air blow-off port is provided at an upper part of the windshield device and is opened toward the upper side. An air duct establishing communication between the air introduction port and the air blow-off port through an air passage extends rearwardly upwards. A straightening vane extends sideways in the air passage and is inclined rearwardly upwards so as to be along the air passage. In side view of the vehicle, a first straight line connecting both ends of the straightening vane is disposed at an obtuse angle in relation to a second straight line that is orthogonal to a steering axis and extends to a grounding point of a rear wheel.
