FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG.
Referring to FIGS. 3, 8, and 9, the stay 70 includes a shaft portion 73 that projects upward from the upper surface of the front end portion 72a of the opposing portion 72.

The inner extension part 60 is provided with a mounting hole 60a that vertically passes through the inner extension part 60.
A cylindrical rubber member 61 is attached to the attachment hole 60a.
Specifically, the rubber member 61 includes a hole 61a formed by the inner periphery of the tube of the rubber member 61, and an annular groove 61b formed in the outer periphery of the rubber member 61.
The hole 61a is a through hole that vertically passes through the rubber member 61. The groove portion 61b is provided in the upper and lower intermediate portions of the rubber member 61.

The rubber member 61 is fixed to the attachment hole 60a by the groove portion 61b engaging with the inner peripheral portion of the attachment hole 60a.
The rubber member 61 is made of rubber. Here, "made of rubber" means that the rubber member 61 is made of an elastomer such as rubber having high elasticity.

The shaft portion 73 of the stay 70 is inserted into the hole 61a of the rubber member 61 from below. The upper surface of the front end portion 72 a of the opposing portion 72 contacts the lower surface of the rubber member 61 and receives the rubber member 61 .
The inner extending portion 60 is connected to the stay 70 by fitting the shaft portion 73 of the stay 70 into the hole 61 a of the rubber member 61 .
That is, the inner extending portion 60 provided at the front end of the seat cowl 50 is rubber mounted on the lower surface 17c of the seat 17 via a rubber member 61 and a stay 70.

In the seat cowl 50, a hook portion 55 and a second hook portion 56 are hooked on the lower surface 17c of the seat 17, and an inwardly extending portion 60 is rubber mounted on the lower surface 17c of the seat 17 via a rubber member 61. Attachment by rubber mounts and hooks allows relatively large displacements of the seat cowl 50. As a result, when an external force acts on the seat cowl 50 due to, for example, an occupant coming into contact with the seat cowl 50, the seat cowl 50 is effectively displaced by bending the rubber member 61 to release the external force. can. Therefore, the load on the seat cowl 50 can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 9, the inner extending portion 60 includes a lower facing surface 60b that faces the lower surface 17c of the seat 17 from below at a position on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the rubber member 61.
The distance H1 between the lower surface 17c and the lower facing surface 60b is smaller than the insertion depth H2 of the shaft portion 73 into the hole 61a of the rubber member 61.
Therefore, when trying to move the inner extending portion 60 upward, the lower facing surface 60b comes into contact with the lower surface 17c before the shaft portion 73 comes out of the hole 61a of the rubber member 61, and the rubber member 61 is moved into the shaft. It cannot be removed from part 73. Therefore, the seat cowl 50 cannot be removed from the shaft portion 73, and theft of the seat cowl 50 can be effectively suppressed.

Here, the procedure for attaching the seat cowl 50 to the seat 17 will be explained.
Referring to FIG. 7, the stay 70 is attached to the seat cowl 50 in advance by fitting the shaft portion 73 into the hole 61a of the rubber member 61. Further, the seat 17 has been removed from the vehicle body.
Next, the seat cowl 50 is placed over the rear seat 17b, and the hook portion 55 and the second hook portion 56 are hooked onto the lower surface 17c of the seat 17.
Then, the threaded portion 45c is inserted into the hole 71a of the stay 70, and the stay 70 is fastened to the engagement member 45 by the nut 46. Thereafter, the seat 17 is attached to the vehicle body.
By performing the attachment using such a procedure, the seat cowl 50 can be attached to the seat 17 even in a structure where the distance H1 is smaller than the insertion depth H2.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the hook portion 55 is provided continuously over the entire rear edge portion 50a in the vehicle width direction, and covers the entire lower end portion of the rear surface of the seat 17. Thereby, when viewed from the rear, the lower end 17f of the rear surface of the seat 17 can be suppressed from being visible, and the appearance of the periphery of the seat 17 can be simplified.
Further, since the rubber member 61 is disposed directly below the lower surface 17c and on the inside in the vehicle width direction with respect to the cowl side wall portion 52, it is difficult to be visually recognized from the outside. Therefore, the appearance of the seat cowl 50 is good.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 6, and 7, the lower surface of the cowl upper wall portion 51 is provided with a plurality of convex portions 51a that protrude downward. The convex portion 51 a contacts the upper surface of the seat 17 and supports the seat cowl 50 with respect to the seat 17 . Therefore, the seat cowl 50 can be fixed well to the seat 17.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 5, and 7, the inner surface of the cowl side wall portion 52 is provided with a plurality of side protrusions 52b that protrude inward in the vehicle width direction. The side surface convex portion 52b contacts the side surface of the seat 17 and supports the seat cowl 50 with respect to the seat 17. Therefore, the seat cowl 50 can be fixed well to the seat 17.

FIG. 10 is a left side view of the rear portion of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10. As shown in FIG.
An exterior component 65 is attached to the outer surface of the rear part of the rear frame 20. The exterior component 65 is located directly below the cowl side wall portion 52.
A plate-shaped protection member 66 is attached to the lower surface of the facing portion 72 of the stay 70 . The protection member 66 is, for example, a rubber sheet.
Since the protective member 66 is provided on the lower surface of the stay 70, direct contact of the stay 70 with the exterior component 65 is suppressed when the seat 17 is attached to the vehicle body from above. Therefore, damage to the exterior component 65 by the stay 70 can be suppressed.
