The ABS modulator 55 is provided below the main frame 16 in the vehicle width direction, and overlaps the air cleaner box 35 from above on the outside of the main frame 16 in the vehicle width direction.
According to this configuration, a large space can be secured on the outside in the vehicle width direction of one main frame 16 extending rearward and downward from the center in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, it is easy to arrange the ABS modulator 55 on the outside of the main frame 16 in the vehicle width direction, and the ABS modulator 55 is easy to assemble. Further, since the air cleaner box 35 straddles the main frame 16 in the vehicle width direction, a large capacity of the air cleaner box 35 can be secured.

The air cleaner box 35 also has a one side bulge 63 that bulges out to one side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle body frame 10, and an other side bulge that bulges out to the other side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle body frame 10. The one-side bulging portion 63 includes an opening 60a and an openable/closable lid member 61 that covers the opening 60a, and the ABS modulator 55 overlaps the other-side bulging portion 64 from above.
According to this configuration, since the ABS modulator 55 overlaps the other side bulging part 64 from above, the ABS modulator 55 is less likely to get in the way of opening and closing the lid member 61 of the one side bulging part 63. Therefore, the air cleaner box 35 lid members 61 can be easily opened and closed.
Furthermore, the upper surface 64a of the other side bulge 64 is located at a lower position than the upper surface 63a of the one side bulge 63.
According to this configuration, the ABS modulator 55 can be placed at a lower position, and the center of gravity of the motorcycle 1 can be lowered. Further, it is easy to secure a space above the ABS modulator 55 for arranging other parts such as the fuel tank 38, for example.

Further, the ABS modulator 55 overlaps the vehicle body frame 10 from the outside in the vehicle width direction.
According to this configuration, the ABS modulator 55 can be protected from the inside in the vehicle width direction by the vehicle body frame 10.
Since the ABS modulator 55 overlaps the vehicle body frame 10 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, the stay 70 extending from the vehicle body frame 10 and supporting the ABS modulator 55 can be shortened.

Note that the above embodiment shows one mode to which the present invention is applied, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
In the above embodiment, the ABS modulator 55 has been described as controlling the hydraulic pressure of the brake device 50 of the front wheels 2, but the ABS modulator 55 is not limited to this, and the ABS modulator 55 also controls the hydraulic pressure of the brake device of the rear wheels 3. You may do so.
In the embodiment described above, the opening 60a of the one side bulge 63 is opened outward in the vehicle width direction. Either one may be opened.
Further, in the above embodiment, the motorcycle 1 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention is applicable to vehicles and saddle-type vehicles with four or more wheels.
