2, a rear arm 13 is pivotally supported by a rear arm bracket 4, and a rear wheel 1 is attached to a rear end of the rear arm 13.
4 are supported.

On the rear side of the pair of left and right rear arm brackets 4, a footrest bracket 20 is provided, which is a pair of upper and lower bolts 2.
The footrest 22 is provided on the footrest bracket 20, and the footrest 22 is provided.
The weight 23 has a pair of front and rear bolts 24 at a predetermined distance from
It is provided by tightening and fixing with.

As shown in FIG. 4, the footrest 22 may be one in which the change pedal 25 is integrally attached to the footrest 22. Similarly, the weight 23 can be attached to the footrest bracket 20.

Thus, the footrest bracket 20
A weight 23 is provided at a predetermined position of the weight 23. By moving the resonance point of the footrest bracket 20 from the position of the footrest 22 with this weight 23, the normal rotation speed of the engine with the weight 22 can be obtained without using a rubber damper. Vibration in the can be reduced.

Therefore, the weight 23 is attached to the footrest bracket 20 to move the resonance point, and the vibration of the engine can be prevented without using a rubber damper, so that the mounting rigidity of the footrest 22 is maintained. be able to.

5 and 6 show a footrest device for a motorcycle according to a second aspect of the present invention, FIG. 5 is an exploded sectional view of a front footrest device, and FIG. 6 is an exploded sectional view of a rear footrest device.

In the front footrest device of FIG. 5, a footrest 30 is provided on a footrest bracket, one side of the footrest 30 is covered with a footrest cover 32 via a rubber sponge 31 which is an elastic member, and the other side of the footrest 30 is covered with an elastic member. A rubber washer 3
A pair of screws 34 are inserted through the screw 3 and are screwed and attached to the support member 35 of the footrest cover 32.

In the rear footrest device shown in FIG. 6, a footrest 40 is provided on a footrest bracket, and one side of the footrest 40 has a rubber sponge 41 as an elastic member.
Put the footrest cover 42 through the, and insert the pin with hole 43 into the footrest cover 42.
A washer 45 is applied to the other side of the footrest 40 via a rubber washer 44, which is an elastic member, and a split pin 46 is inserted through the pin hole 43a of the pin width hole 43 and attached.

As described above, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the rider puts his / her foot on the footrest covers 32 and 42, but the footrest covers 32 and 42 are provided on the footrests 30 and 40 in a state of being floated through the elastic members. This reduces the transmission of engine vibrations to the rider's feet.
