（従来の技術）
一般に、鞍乗型４輪車は、棒ハンドルにより操舵される
左右一対の前輪と、車体中央下部に搭載されたエンジン
によって駆動される左右一対の接輪とが前後に配置され
、後上部のシートに跨ったライダが棒ハンドルを操って
走行するようになっている。(Prior Art) In general, a straddle-type four-wheeled vehicle has a pair of left and right front wheels steered by a bar handle, and a pair of left and right front wheels that are driven by an engine mounted at the lower center of the vehicle body, arranged in the front and rear. , the rider straddles the upper rear seat and operates the handlebars to move.

Therefore, it becomes difficult to attach the lever attachment bracket 2 and to wire the cable connected to the lever. As a result, there are restrictions on the mounting location of the lever mounting bracket 2 and the mounting location of the cable connected to the lever, which in turn places restrictions on the installation location of the levers.
また、敢えて車体フレーム１にレバー取付ブラケット２
