Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate an attachment or detachment operation of a fuel tank to or from the rear portion of a motorcycle frame that is narrower than the tank, by enlarging the mounting portion of the frame. SOLUTION: A frame 1 is constituted of left and right pairs of upper rails 3, center vertical rails 5 and lower rails 4. In separation from the frame 1, the substantially T-shaped portion to be situated at the rear of one upper rail 3 and at the top of one center rail 5 is formed into a mounting part 7, on the inner side of which a fuel tank 8 wider than the frame 1 is inserted. The removal of the substantially T-shaped mounting part 7 opens up the corresponding side of the tank 8, in which state the tank 8 may be attached to or detached from the frame 1 by its mere transversal movement that even persons inexperienced in such attachment and detachment can easily work.
