By disposing within the left-right width of the box 53, the empty space behind the article storage box 53 can be used effectively, and the article storage box 53 can make it difficult for external force from the left and right outer sides to reach the ABS module 61. .

  The motorcycle 1 includes an intake air adjusting device (carburetor 51) for controlling the intake air amount of the engine 13, and the intake air adjusting device is disposed at a position overlapping the main frame 15 in plan view, and the ABS module. 61 is arranged so as to be arranged on one side of the left and right sides of the intake air adjusting device at a position overlapping with the fuel tank 41 in a plan view, so that an empty space on one side of the left and right sides of the air intake adjusting device can be effectively used; The fuel tank 41 can make it difficult for external force to reach the ABS module 61.

  The motorcycle 1 further includes an opening 71a in which the storage box 53 faces the left and right sides, and a lid 72 that covers the opening 71a so as to be openable and closable. An extension portion (cover portion 72b) extending to the rear is provided, and this extension portion covers the left and right sides of the ABS module 61 located at the rear of the article storage box 53. The left and right sides of the ABS modules 61 arranged side by side (the outer side in the vehicle width direction) can be covered without providing a separate cover member, and the protection and appearance of the ABS module 61 are suppressed while suppressing an increase in the number of parts. It is possible to improve the performance.

<Second embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the ABS module 161 is arranged so as to be adjacent to the left side of the article storage box 53 on the left side of the vehicle body left-right center line CL. The same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The ABS module 161 is disposed so as to be positioned below the front portion of the fuel tank 41 (and the front portion of the main frame 15) and above the cylinder 49 in a side view. The ABS module 161 is arranged so as to fit within the left-right width of the fuel tank 41 in the left-right direction (so as to overlap the fuel tank 41 in plan view) and within the left-right width of the front guard bar 29. Further, the ABS module 161 is disposed so as to be within the front-rear width of the article storage box 53 in the front-rear direction, and is disposed within the upper-lower width of the article storage box 53 in the vertical direction. The ABS module 161 is disposed behind and in close proximity to the left down frame 16. The configuration of the ABS module 161 itself conforms to the configuration of the ABS module 61 of the first embodiment.

  The ABS module 161 includes a module-side stay 64 that is fastened and fixed to the lower surface and front surface of the hydraulic circuit portion 61b by means of bolts 66a and 66b via a rubber bush 66, and a frame that is welded and fixed to the upper and lower intermediate portions of the left down frame 16. It is supported by the left down frame 16 via the side stay 69.

  The frame side stay 69 is formed by bending a steel plate, and includes a base portion 69a welded to the left down frame 16, and a lower plate portion 69b extending rearward from the base portion 69a and disposed below the hydraulic circuit portion 61b. Have one. The frame side stay 69 may be fastened and fixed to the left down frame 16 (the vehicle body frame 5).

  The lower plate portion 64a of the module side stay 64 abuts on the lower plate portion 69b of the frame side stay 69, and is fastened by a pair of front and rear bolts 68 that are directed upward. As a result, the ABS module 161 is rubber-mounted on the left down frame 16 via the rubber bush 66.

  A cover member 75 is disposed on the left side of the ABS module 161 to cover the ABS module 161 from the outer side (left side) in the vehicle width direction. The cover member 75 has a container shape that opens to the right, and covers the ABS module 161 from the left so that the ABS module 161 can be inserted into the cover member 75. The cover member 75 is supported by a cover stay 76 attached to the frame side stay 69. The cover member 75 has the same size as the lid body 72a of the lid body 72 in the figure, but has a long oval shape in the front and rear so as to be symmetrical with the lid body 72, and the carburetor 51 behind the article storage box 53 is provided. May be covered from the left side.

As described above, in the second embodiment, in addition to the characteristic configuration and operational effects of the first embodiment, the article storage box 53 is disposed at a position sandwiched between the fuel tank 41 and the cylinder 49 from the top and bottom in a side view. And the ABS module 161 is arranged on the left and right sides of the article storage box 53 at a position overlapping the fuel tank 41 in plan view, so that the left and right sides of the article storage box 53 are empty. Space can be used effectively, and the external force can be prevented from reaching the ABS module 161 by the fuel tank 41 and the article storage box 53.

  In the second embodiment, a cover member 75 that covers the left and right sides of the ABS module 161 is provided, and the ABS module 161 is located immediately after the down frame 16 that extends downward from the head pipe 6 or the vicinity thereof. By disposing the cover, the left and right sides of the ABS module 161 arranged on the left and right sides of the article storage box 53 (the outer side in the vehicle width direction) are covered with the cover member 75, so that the protection and appearance of the ABS module 161 are achieved. In addition to the improvement, the down frame 16 can make it difficult for external force from the front of the vehicle to reach the ABS module 161.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a saddle-ride type vehicle having an ABS module corresponding to only a part of a plurality of hydraulic brakes, such as only one of front and rear wheel brakes, The present invention is also applicable to a vehicle having a drum brake. Here, the saddle-ride type vehicle includes all vehicles on which the driver rides across the vehicle body, and includes not only motorcycles but also three-wheel vehicles (front two-wheel and one rear-wheel vehicles in addition to front and rear two-wheel vehicles).
