Fig. 4 is a left side view showing the body frame 11 and fuel tank 29 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the body frame 11 and fuel tank 29 according to the first embodiment from the rear left. The main frame 31 is a mono-backbone frame. That is, the main frame 31 is a frame that extends rearward from the head pipe 18 in a single shape. The main frame 31 and the down frame 33 of this embodiment are press frames with a substantially rectangular cross section. Specifically, the main frame 31 and the down frame 33 are press frames with a substantially rectangular cross section formed by joining pressed metal plates on the left and right. A fuel tank 29 is disposed on the upper part of the main frame 31. The fuel tank 29 is covered from the outside by a tank cover 52, and is a so-called interior tank. That is, regardless of the shape of the fuel tank 29, the tank cover 52 can ensure the design of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10.

[0019] The fuel tank 29 includes a fuel tank body 80 in which fuel is stored. The fuel tank body 80 includes an upper tank body 60 that is bowl-shaped and concave upward, and a lower tank body 70 that is bowl-shaped and concave downward. The upper tank body 60 and the lower tank body 70 each include a flange-shaped opening end 61, 71, and the opening end 61 of the upper tank body 60 and the opening end 71 of the lower tank body 70 are joined, for example, by seam welding, to form the hollow fuel tank body 80. The fuel tank body 80 includes a seam portion (joint portion) 81 that is formed by the opening ends 61, 71. In this embodiment, the rear end of the seam portion 81 of the fuel tank 29 fixed to the vehicle body frame 11 is lower than the front end.

[0021] In a side view of the vehicle body, the lower tank body 70 has a front portion 72 extending downward toward the rear, and a rear portion 73 extending rearward and substantially horizontally from the rear end of the front portion 72. A fuel pump 84 is disposed in the rear portion 73 of the lower tank body 70. The fuel pump 84 is located above the rear portion of the main frame 31. The fuel pump 84 supplies fuel to the power unit 12.

[0022] Fig. 6 is a front view showing the periphery of the front end portion of the body frame 11. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the main part showing a vertical cross section along the axis of the mounting bar 100. An upwardly recessed tank recess 74 is formed in the bottom surface of the fuel tank 29, i.e., the lower tank body 70. The tank recess 74 is recessed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the front, and extends in the front-rear direction. An upper portion of the main frame 31 enters the tank recess 74. The main frame 31 extends along the tank recess 74.

[0023] The fuel tank 29 has a front mounting portion (fuel tank side mounting portion) 86 that is attached to the body frame 11. The front mounting portion 86 is provided at the front of the lower tank body 70. The front mounting portion 86 has a first stay 91 and a second stay 92 that are provided corresponding to the tank recess 74. The first stay 91 and the second stay 92 are provided in pairs on the left and right sides of the tank recess 74, respectively.

[0024] The first stay 91 is formed in a bent plate shape and has a first base portion 91a fixed to the lower tank body 70 of the fuel tank 29, and a first tip portion 91b extending downward from the outer ends of the first base portion 91a in the left-right direction.

[0025] A second stay 92 is disposed on the outer side of the first stay 91 in the left-right direction. The second stay 92 is in the form of a bent plate. The second stay 92 has a second base portion 92a fixed to the lower tank body 70 of the fuel tank 29 and extending toward the center in the left-right direction, and a second tip portion 92b extending downward from an inner end of the second base portion 92a in the left-right direction. The second tip portion 92b is joined to the outer surface in the left-right direction of the first tip portion 91b of the first stay 91.

[0026] The first tip portion 91b and the second tip portion 92b extend forward and downward beyond the fuel tank main body 80. A tubular portion 93 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the first tip portion 91b and the second tip portion 92b. A grommet (elastic member) 94 is attached to a hole in the tubular portion 93. A flange pipe 95 is attached to the grommet 94 from the inside in the left-right direction. A bolt 97, which is an example of a fastening member, is inserted into the flange pipe 95 via a nut 96. The bolt 97 is fastened to a mounting rod (frame side mounting portion, protrusion portion) 100 fixed to the front end portion of the body frame 11. As a result, the front end portion of the fuel tank 29 is fixed to the front end portion of the body frame 11.

[0027] The mounting rod 100 in this embodiment is provided on the main frame 31 near the rear of the head pipe 18, which is the front end of the body frame 11. That is, the cylindrical mounting rod 100 extending in the left-right direction is fixed to the main frame 31 in a state in which it penetrates therethrough. The mounting rod 100 is provided so as to protrude outward in the left-right direction from a flat side portion of the main frame 31. Both longitudinal ends of the mounting rod 100 are formed with female threads into which the bolts 97 can be fastened.

[0028] The mounting rod 100 is disposed rearward of the upper rear end of the head pipe 18. The mounting rod 100 is disposed forward and below the lower tank body 70. Therefore, the mounting rod 100 does not overlap the fuel tank main body 80 in a side view of the vehicle body. This ensures sufficient space for attaching the tank cover 52 between the head pipe 18 and the fuel tank 29. In addition, since the mounting rod 100 does not overlap the fuel tank main body 80 in a side view of the vehicle body, it becomes easier to attach the fuel tank 29 to the body frame 11.

[0029] The fuel tank 29 has a rear mounting portion 87. The rear mounting portion 87 extends rearward from the fuel tank body 80. In a side view of the vehicle body, the rear mounting portion 87 extends rearward and downward along the seam portion 81. The rear mounting portion 87 is fixed to the rear front cross member 43 provided in front of the seat frame 41. Therefore, fuel tank 29 of this embodiment is fixed to vehicle body frame 11 by front mounting portion 86 and rear mounting portion 87 at a position spaced apart from fuel tank body 80 in the front-rear direction when viewed from the side of the vehicle body.

[0030] Here, the fuel tank 29 is a fuel tank with a two-part structure, which is constructed by joining an upper tank body 60 and a lower tank body 70. In general, in a fuel tank with a two-part structure, a metal plate is pressed to form a bowl-shaped upper tank body and a lower tank body, which are joined together to manufacture the fuel tank with a two-part structure. For this reason, the tank recess is formed in the lower tank body while ensuring the depth of the bowl shape, so the tank recess tends to be shallow. In other words, it was difficult to attach a conventional fuel tank with a two-part structure to the mounting rod 100 located at a position spaced downward from the upper end of the main frame 31. In contrast, in this embodiment, the fuel tank 29 is provided with a front mounting portion 86 having a first stay 91 and a second stay 92, so that it can be firmly attached to the mounting rod 100.

[0031] In other words, when the mounting rod 100 is formed at a position spaced downward from the upper end of the main frame 31, a fuel tank that is easy to form a deep tank recess, i.e., a fuel tank having a three-part structure with an upper left tank body, an upper right tank body, and a lower tank body, is generally used. Therefore, by configuring the fuel tank 29 of this embodiment, it is possible to easily share the body frame with a vehicle frame in which a fuel tank having a three-part structure is used. Therefore, by using the fuel tank 29 of this embodiment, the body frame of a fuel tank having a three-part structure can be reused, and cost reduction can be expected.

[0032] FIG. 8 is a right side view of the front end portion of the body frame 11 according to the first embodiment. An equipment support structure 140 is provided at the front end of the body frame 11. In this embodiment, the equipment support structure 140 is a structure that supports an ABS (Antilock Braking System) modulator 150 as an example of equipment.

The ABS modulator 150 is fixed to the support box 160 by upper and lower bolts 181 and front and rear bolts 182 .

[0036] A cylindrical insertion portion 165 extending in the left-right direction is formed at the upper end of the inner wall 162. An insertion hole 165a extending in the left-right direction is formed in the insertion portion 165. A grommet (first rubber) 183 is attached to the insertion hole 165a.

[0037] FIG. 10 is a bottom view of the equipment support structure 140 according to the first embodiment. The bottom surface of the mounting portion 161 of the support box 160 is formed with insertion protrusions 166, 167 that protrude downward. The insertion protrusions 166, 167 are columnar. A plurality of insertion protrusions 166, 167 are formed. In this embodiment, two insertion protrusions 166, 167 are provided, one at the front and one at the back. The insertion protrusions 166, 167 are formed in a row on a straight line L11 that extends in the front-rear direction. The insertion protrusions 166, 167 are inserted into the connection stay 170 from above.

[0038] The connection stay 170 is in the form of a bent plate. The connection stay 170 is substantially L-shaped in a front view. In detail, the connection stay 170 has a plate-shaped support portion 171 extending in the left-right direction in a front view, and a plate-shaped connection portion 172 extending upward from an inner end of the support portion 171 in the vehicle width direction.

[0039] The support portion 171 of the connection stay 170 is formed with insertion holes (insertion recesses) 171a, 171b having a shape recessed in the up-down direction. In this embodiment, the insertion holes 171a, 171b penetrate the support portion 171 in the thickness direction. The insertion holes 171a, 171b are provided as a pair in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the insertion holes 171a, 171b are not offset in the left-right direction, but are formed in a line in the front-rear direction. Grommets (second rubber) 184, 185 are attached to the insertion holes 171a, 171b. The insertion protrusions 166, 167 are inserted and attached to the insertion holes 171a, 171b via the grommets 184, 185. A lightening hole 171c is formed on the right side of the insertion holes 171a, 171b.

[0040] The connection portion 172 of the connection stay 170 is formed with fixing holes 172a, 172b penetrating in the left-right direction. The fixing holes 172a, 172b are formed at the front end of the connection portion 172. The fixing holes 172a, 172b are formed in pairs, one above the other. The fixing holes 172a, 172b are located forward of the support box 160 (see FIG. 8). Bolts 186, 187, which are an example of fastening members, are inserted into the fixing holes 172a, 172b. The bolts 186, 187 are fastened to crimp nuts (fastening portion) 188, 189. The crimp nuts 188, 189 are crimped to the right side surface of the front end portion of the body frame 11. In this embodiment, the crimp nuts 188, 189 form a fastening portion at the front end portion of the body frame 11 to which the bolts 186, 187 can be fastened. A lightening hole 172c is formed in the connection stay 170 behind the fixing holes 172a, 172b.

[0041] Next, an example of a method for mounting the ABS modulator 150 will be described. The ABS modulator 150 is fixed to the support box 160 by bolts 181 and 182. The support box 160 to which the ABS modulator 150 is fixed has its insertion protrusions 166 and 167 inserted into the connection stay 170. The insertion protrusions 166 and 167 are inserted into grommets 184 and 185 of the connection stay 170. Thus, the support box 160 is attached to the connection stay 170 via the grommets 184 and 185. Then, the insertion portion 165 of the support box 160 is inserted into the mounting rod 100 extending in the left-right direction from the outside in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the support box 160 and the connection stay 170 are held at the front end of the body frame 11 in a state where they are suspended from the mounting rod 100 via the grommets 183. At this time, by rotating the support box 160 around the mounting rod 100 , the fixing holes 172 a , 172 b of the connection stay 170 can be easily aligned with the positions of the crimp nuts 188 , 189 .

[0042] Bolts 186, 187 are inserted into the fixing holes 172a, 172b with the fixing holes 172a, 172b aligned with the positions of the crimp nuts 188, 189. The fixing holes 172a, 172b do not overlap with the support box 160 in a side view of the vehicle body, making it easy to fasten from the outside in the left-right direction. The bolts 187, 186 are fastened to the crimp nuts 188, 189 at the front end of the body frame 11. As a result, the ABS modulator 150 is supported on the front end portion of the body frame 11. An input pipe 152, an output pipe 153, and an electric harness 154 are connected to the ABS modulator 150, passing over a front wall 163 and a rear wall 164 of the support box 160.

[0043] After the ABS modulator 150 is attached, the front mounting portion 86 of the fuel tank 29 is attached to the mounting rod 100. That is, a bolt 97 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 93 of the front mounting portion 86, and the bolt 97 is fastened to the female thread portions at both ends of the mounting rod 100.

[0044] In the vehicle body frame 11 having a mono-backbone frame structure as in this embodiment, spaces are likely to be generated on both the left and right sides of the main frame 31 corresponding to the mono-backbone frame. Since the support box 160 and the connection stay 170 of this embodiment allow equipment such as the ABS modulator 150 to be attached to the side of the main frame 31, the space on the outer side of the main frame 31 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body can be effectively utilized as equipment mounting space, and the degree of freedom in layout design can be increased. Furthermore, since the ABS modulator 150 can be attached by inserting it from the outer side in the left-right direction of the vehicle body and from the upper side in the vertical direction of the vehicle body using the support box 160, the mounting position of the ABS modulator 150 can be easily determined. Furthermore, since the ABS modulator 150 can be attached to the vehicle body frame 11 with a simple configuration of the support box 160 and the stay 170, a reduction in mounting parts and installation labor can be expected.

[0045] As described above, according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, in a saddle-ride type vehicle 10 including a body frame 11 including a head pipe 18 and a main frame 31 extending rearward from the head pipe 18, and an ABS modulator 150 attached to a front end portion of the body frame 11, the vehicle 10 further includes a support box 160 that supports the ABS modulator 150, a connection stay 170 that connects the support box 160 to the body frame 11, and an input pipe 152, an output pipe 153, and an electric harness 154 that are connected to the ABS modulator 150. Behind the head pipe 18, the front end of the body frame 11 is provided with a mounting rod 100 that protrudes outward in the left-right direction of the vehicle and supports a support box 160, and crimp nuts 188, 189 to which a connection stay 170 is fastened. The support box 160 is provided with an insertion portion 165 that is inserted into the mounting rod 100 from the outside in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and insertion convex portions 166, 167 that are inserted into the connection stay 170 from above in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the connection stay 170 is provided with insertion holes 171a, 171b into which the insertion convex portions 166, 167 are inserted. According to this configuration, the support box 160 can be positioned by utilizing the mounting rod 100 of the body frame 11, and the support box 160 can be easily attached to the mounting rod 100 and the connection stay 170 by the simple task of inserting it. Therefore, the support box 160 and the connection stay 170 make it easy to attach the ABS modulator 150 to the front end of the body frame 11 with high accuracy.

[0046] In this embodiment, the tubular members include an electric harness 154, an input pipe 152, and an output pipe 153, and the ABS modulator 150 is an electronic device. This configuration allows electronic devices to be easily attached to the front end of the body frame 11, so that the space on the outer side of the main frame 31 in the left-right direction of the body can be effectively used as mounting space for electronic devices, and the degree of freedom in layout design can be increased. This configuration also allows for easy maintenance of the electronic devices.

[0047] In this embodiment, the equipment support structure 140 also supports an ABS modulator 150 . With this configuration, ABS modulator 150 can be easily attached to the front end of body frame 11, so that the space on the outer side of main frame 31 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body can be effectively used as a mounting space for ABS modulator 150, thereby increasing the freedom in layout design. In addition, with this configuration, maintenance of ABS modulator 150 can be easily performed.

[0048] In this embodiment, a grommet 183 is attached to the insertion portion 165, and grommets 184 and 185 are attached to the insertion holes 171a and 171b. According to this configuration, since insertion portion 165 is connected to mounting rod 100 via grommet 183, ABS modulator 150 can be easily protected from up-down vibrations during driving, and since insertion protrusions 166, 167 are connected to connecting stay 170 via grommets 184, 185, ABS modulator 150 can be easily protected from left-right vibrations during driving. Therefore, improvement in the durability of ABS modulator 150 can be expected.

[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting rod 100, which is an example of a protrusion, penetrates the main frame 31 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body. According to this configuration, the ABS modulator 150 can be attached to the mounting rod 100 that penetrates the main frame 31, thereby enabling a more secure attachment.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a fuel tank 29 is provided with a front mounting portion 86, and the front mounting portion 86 is attached to the mounting rod 100 on the outer side of the insertion portion 165 of the support box 160 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body. According to this configuration, the fuel tank 29 and the ABS modulator 150 can be attached at a common location, making it easier to effectively utilize the space on the outer side of the main frame 31 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, and further increasing the degree of freedom in layout design. In addition, the front mounting portion 86 can be used to prevent the support box 160 from coming off the mounting bar 100.

[0051] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described below. In this second embodiment, parts configured similarly to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Fig. 15 is a perspective view showing body frame 211 and fuel tank 229 according to the second embodiment from the rear left. The main frame 231 is a mono-backbone frame. That is, the main frame 231 is a frame that extends rearward from the head pipe 218 in a single shape. The main frame 231 and the down frame 233 of this embodiment are cylindrical pipe frames. The main frame 231 and the down frame 233 are reinforced by gussets 235 at the connection portion with the head pipe 218. A fuel tank 229 is supported on the main frame 231. The fuel tank 229 is covered from the outside by a tank cover 252, and is a so-called interior tank. That is, regardless of the shape of the fuel tank 229, the tank cover 252 can ensure the design of the saddle-ride type vehicle 210.

[0058] FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XVI-XVI in FIG. Fuel tank 229 according to the second embodiment also has a front mounting portion 286 and a rear mounting portion 287 corresponding to front mounting portion 86 and rear mounting portion 87 of fuel tank 29 according to the first embodiment. That is, in the second embodiment as well, fuel tank 229 is fixed to body frame 211 by front mounting portion 286 and rear mounting portion 287 at a position spaced apart in the front-rear direction from fuel tank main body 280, when viewed from the side of the vehicle body.

[0059] More specifically, an upwardly recessed tank recess 274 is formed in the bottom surface of the fuel tank 229, i.e., the lower tank body 270. The tank recess 274 is recessed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the front, and extends in the front-rear direction. An upper portion of the main frame 231 enters the tank recess 274. The main frame 231 extends along the tank recess 274.

[0060] The fuel tank 229 has a front mounting portion 286 that is attached to the body frame 211. The front mounting portion 286 is provided at the front of the lower tank body 270. The front mounting portion 286 has a first stay 291 and a second stay 292 that are provided corresponding to the tank recess 274. The first stay 291 and the second stay 292 are provided in pairs on the left and right sides of the tank recess 274, respectively.

[0061] The first stay 291 is formed in a bent plate shape. The first stay 291 has a first base portion 291a fixed to the lower tank body 270 of the fuel tank 229, and a first tip portion 291b extending downward from the outer end of the first base portion 291a in the left-right direction of the vehicle body.

[0062] A second stay 292 is disposed on the outer side of the first stay 291 in the left-right direction. The second stay 292 is in the form of a bent plate. The second stay 292 has a second base portion 292a fixed to the lower tank body 270 of the fuel tank 229 and extending toward the center in the left-right direction, and a second tip portion 292b extending downward from an inner end of the second base portion 292a in the left-right direction. The second tip portion 292b is joined to the outer surface of the first tip portion 291b of the first stay 291.

[0063] Here, in the second embodiment, metal-like patches 201, 202 are fixed to the front end of the lower tank body 270. A pair of first patches 201 are provided on both the left and right sides of the tank recess 274. The first patch 201 is a bent plate bent into a crank shape when viewed from the front. The first patch 201 has a pair of left and right flat contact portions (fixing portions) 201a, 201b that are fixed in contact with the bottom surface of the lower tank body 270, and a separating portion 201c that is provided between the contact portions 201a, 201b and separated from the lower tank body 70.

[0064] In the first patch 201, the contact portions 201a and 201b are fixed to the lower tank body 270 by spot welding. In addition, a first base portion 291a of a first stay 291 is welded to the spaced portion 201c. A weld bead is formed in the spaced portion 201c of the first patch 201.

[0065] Further, a bent plate-like second patch 202 is fixed to the outside in the left-right direction of the first patch 201. The second patch 202 has a flat contact portion (fixed portion) 202a that is fixed in contact with the bottom surface of the lower tank body 270, and a separating portion 202c that extends inward in the left-right direction from the contact portion 202a and is separated from the lower tank body 270.

[0066] In the second patch 202, the contact portion 201a is fixed to the lower tank body 270 by spot welding. In addition, a second base portion 292a of a second stay 292 is welded to the spaced portion 202c. A weld bead is formed in the spaced portion 202c of the second patch 202.

[0067] Therefore, the front attachment portion 286 in the second embodiment is different in that the stays 291, 292 are welded to the patches 201, 202, respectively, but is similar to the first embodiment in that the stays 291, 292 are welded to the spaced portions 201c, 202c of the patches 201, 202. This makes it possible to suppress the influence of thermal stress caused by the welding of the stays 291, 292 in the lower tank body 270, which is prone to thinning. In addition, it is easy to alleviate direct stress concentration from the stays 291, 292 on the lower tank body 270.

[0068] First tip portion 291b and second tip portion 292b extend forward and downward beyond fuel tank main body 280. A tubular portion 293 extending in the left-right direction is formed in first tip portion 291b and second tip portion 292b. A grommet (elastic member) 294 is attached to a hole in tubular portion 293. A flange pipe 295 is attached to grommet 294 from the inside in the left-right direction. A bolt 297 as an example of a fastening member is inserted into flange pipe 295 via nut 296. Bolt 297 is fastened to mounting rod (frame side mounting portion, protrusion) 200 fixed to the front end portion of body frame 211. As a result, the front end portion of fuel tank 229 is fixed to the front end portion of body frame 211.

[0069] The mounting rod 200 of this embodiment is provided in a gusset 235, which is the front end of the body frame 211. The gusset 235 has a pair of left and right plate members 235a, 235b. The pair of left and right plate members 235a, 235b of the gusset 235 are provided to sandwich the rear end of the head pipe 218, the lower part of the front end of the main frame 231, and the pipe shape of the rear part of the upper end of the down frame 233, and the rear ends of the plate members 325a, 235b are joined to form a hollow space between the plate members 235a, 235b. A cylindrical mounting rod 200 extending in the left-right direction is fixed to the gusset 235 in a state of penetrating the gusset 235. The mounting rod 200 is provided so as to protrude from a flat side portion of the gusset 235. A female thread is formed at both longitudinal ends of the mounting rod 200 to which a bolt 297 can be fastened.

[0070] The mounting rod 200 is disposed rearward of the upper rear end of the head pipe 18. The mounting rod 200 is disposed forward and below the lower tank body 270. Therefore, in a side view of the vehicle body, the mounting rod 200 does not overlap with the fuel tank main body 280 and is visible in a side view of the vehicle body. The stays 291 and 292, the tubular portion 293, the patches 201 and 202, and the like constitute a front attachment portion 286 of this embodiment.

[0071] The fuel tank 229 has a rear mounting portion 287. The rear mounting portion 287 extends rearward from the fuel tank main body 280. In a side view of the vehicle body, the rear mounting portion 287 extends rearward and downward along the seam portion 281 (see FIG. 14 ). The rear mounting portion 287 is fixed to a rear front cross member 243 provided in front of the seat frame 241.

[0072] Therefore, in this embodiment as well, fuel tank 229 is provided with front mounting portion 286 having first stay 291 and second stay 292, so that it can be securely attached to mounting bar 200. Also, by using fuel tank 229 in this embodiment, it is possible to reuse the body frame of a fuel tank having a three-piece structure, and cost reduction can be expected.

[0073] FIG. 17 is a right side view of the front end portion of a body frame 211 according to the second embodiment. An equipment support structure 140 that supports an ABS modulator 150 is provided at the front end of the body frame 211 . In this embodiment, crimp nuts 188, 189 are crimped to the right side portion of the gusset 235, thereby forming a fastening portion for the bolts 186, 187 at the front end portion of the body frame 211. Thus, in the equipment support structure 140, the insertion portion 165 of the support box 160 is inserted into the mounting rod 200 and attached, and the connection stay 170 is fastened to the crimp nuts 188, 189 by the bolts 186, 187. As a result, the ABS modulator 150 is supported at the front end portion of the body frame 211.

[0074] As described above, according to the second embodiment to which the present invention is applied, in a saddle-ride type vehicle 210 including a body frame 211 including a head pipe 218 and a main frame 231 extending rearward from the head pipe 218, and an ABS modulator 150 attached to a front end portion of the body frame 211, the vehicle includes a support box 160 that supports the ABS modulator 150, a connection stay 170 that connects the support box 160 to the body frame 211, an input pipe 152, an output pipe 153, and an electric harness 154 that are connected to the ABS modulator 150, Behind the head pipe 218, the front end of the body frame 211 is provided with a mounting rod 200 that protrudes outward in the left-right direction of the vehicle body to support the support box 160, and crimp nuts 188, 189 to which the connection stay 170 is fastened. The support box 160 is provided with an insertion portion 165 that is inserted into the mounting rod 200 from the outside in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, and insertion protrusions 166, 167 that are inserted into the connection stay 170 from above in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, and the connection stay 170 is provided with insertion holes 171a, 171b into which the insertion protrusions 166, 167 are inserted. According to this configuration, the support box 160 can be positioned by utilizing the mounting rod 200 of the body frame 211, and the support box 160 can be easily attached to the mounting rod 200 and the connection stay 170 by the simple task of inserting it. Therefore, the support box 160 and the connection stay 170 make it easy to attach the ABS modulator 150 to the front end of the body frame 211 with high accuracy.

[0075] [Third embodiment] A third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described below. In this third embodiment, parts configured in the same manner as in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0076] FIG. 18 is a bottom view of an equipment support structure 340 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. An equipment support structure 340 according to the third embodiment has a support box 360 and a connection stay 370 instead of the support box 160 and the connection stay 170 according to the third embodiment. The support box 360 and the connection stay 370 differ from the support box 160 and the connection stay 170 in that the insertion protrusions 166, 367 and the insertion holes 171a, 371b provided at the front and rear are offset in the left-right direction.

[0077] That is, in this embodiment, the rear insertion protrusion 167 and the insertion hole 171b according to the first embodiment are offset inwardly in the left-right direction. As a result, in the support box 360 and the connection stay 370, the distance between the insertion protrusions 167, 368 and the insertion holes 171a, 371b provided at the front and rear is increased and they are also offset in the left and right direction, improving stability against left and right vibrations.

[0078] As described above, according to the third embodiment to which the present invention is applied, there are multiple insertion protrusions 166, 367 and multiple insertion holes 171a, 371b, and the insertion protrusions 166, 367 and the insertion holes 171a, 371b are offset when viewed from the front of the vehicle body. According to this configuration, since a plurality of insertion protrusions 166, 367 and insertion holes 171a, 371b are provided, it becomes easier to determine the position of the mounted device in the left-right direction of the vehicle body. In addition, since the plurality of insertion protrusions 166, 367 and insertion holes 171a, 371b are offset when viewed from the front of the vehicle body, it is easy to separate the plurality of insertion protrusions 166, 367 and insertion holes 171a, 371b, so that the device is less susceptible to the effects of vibration in the left-right direction of the vehicle body. Therefore, it is expected that the durability of the ABS modulator 150 will be improved.

[0079] [Other embodiments] The above-described embodiment merely shows one aspect of the present invention, and any modification and application can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the ABS modulator 150, which is an electronic device, is exemplified as an example of the device supported by the device support structure 140, and the configuration in which the ABS modulator 150 is supported at the front end of the vehicle body frame 11 has been described. However, the electronic device supported by the device support structure 140 is not limited to the ABS modulator 150. For example, the electronic device supported by the device support structure 140 may be an electronic device that does not have a hydraulic tubular member. Specifically, a starter magnet, a fuse, a bank angle sensor, an ECU, etc. may be supported at the fastening portion at the front end of the mounting rod 100, 200 and the vehicle body frame 11, 211 by a support box and a connection stay configured for them. In this case, the grommets 183, 184, 185 can support the electronic device while suppressing vibration with a simple configuration, and the effect of vibration on the electronic device can be suitably suppressed.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the ABS modulator 150, which is an electronic device, is exemplified as the device supported by the device support structure 140, but the device supported by the device support structure 140 is not limited to electronic devices. For example, the device supported by the device support structure 140 may be a canister to which a breather hose extending from the fuel tank 29, 229 is connected. With this configuration, the canister can be disposed at the front end of the body frame 11, 211, so that the canister can be disposed near the fuel tank 29, 229, and the length of the hose extending from the canister can be easily shortened. In addition, the grommets 183 to 185 can suppress the transmission of vibrations and protect the activated carbon in the canister.

[0082] In the above embodiment, a motorcycle having a front wheel 13 and a rear wheel 15 has been used as an example of saddle-ride vehicle 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to a three-wheel saddle-ride vehicle having two front or two rear wheels, or a saddle-ride vehicle having four or more wheels.
