This brake pedal device includes an arm portion () pivotally supported on a vehicle body to be rotatable, and a pedal portion () provided at a distal end portion () of the arm portion (). The pedal portion () includes a first operation portion () configured to operate a brake (), a first uneven portion () formed on at least a part of the first operation portion (), a second operation portion () provided at a position different from the first operation portion (), and a second uneven portion () formed on at least a part of the second operation portion ().

Brake pedal device and saddle-ride type vehicle

A saddle-ride-type vehicle where the degree of freedom in layout of parts is increased by making use of a space formed below a rider's seat. The saddle-ride-type vehicle includes a main frame extending rearwardly in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle and downwardly from a head pipe. A seat frame extends rearwardly in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle from the main frame with a rider's seat supported on the seat frame from below. The seat frame is disposed in a frontward inclined manner toward the main frame wherein the seat frame becomes away from a seat bottom surface of the rider's seat thus forming a space below the seat bottom surface with a seat support member being disposed in the space.

Saddle-ride-type vehicle

An air cleaner is disposed at the front part of an intake space below a seat. A battery box containing a battery is disposed on the rear side relative to the air cleaner in the intake space. The battery box is disposed with a rearward tilt and on the intake upstream side of the air cleaner and a corner part of the battery box at the lower front end thereof is disposed close to the air cleaner with the intermediary of a slight gap. The battery in the battery box is located in a flow of intake air sucked into the air cleaner and is efficiently cooled. The battery box includes an opening wherein part of the outer surface of the battery and a degassing part face the opening. An anti-diffusion cover part, continuous with an edge of the opening, covers the degassing part.

In a saddle bag lock device for a saddle-ride type vehicle, in which a bag base body forming a saddle bag together with a lid is provided with multiple catch mechanisms switchable between a locked state where the catch mechanisms are engaged with multiple strikers provided on the lid and an unlocked state where the catch mechanisms are disengaged from the strikers. A switching operation member is manually-operable to synchronously switch the catch mechanisms from the locked state to the unlocked state. The saddle bag is formed to have a mountain-shaped bulging portion in an upper portion, the bulging portion bulging upwardly in a side view, and the switching operation member and the multiple catch mechanisms disposed in base portions of the bulging portion are connected to one another by cables corresponding individually to the catch mechanisms.

Saddle bag lock device for saddle-ride type vehicle

A vehicle body frame of a saddle-ride-type vehicle which enables a high-strength joint and a reduction in the weight of the vehicle body frame. The vehicle body frame of a saddle-ride-type vehicle includes a plurality of rear frames arranged to face each other in an opposed manner and a cross frame for connecting the plurality of rear frames to each other. A through hole is formed in the rear frames arranged to face each other in an opposed manner with the cross frame being joined to the rear frames at insertion portions thereof inserted into the through holes.

Vehicle body frame of saddle-ride-type vehicle

Attachment and detachment work of a detachable part is facilitated, while achieving secure attachment thereof, in a part attachment structure of straddle type vehicle including the detachable part attached to a body frame. A seat supporting member includes a base portion spanning paired right and left seat frames, and paired right and left extension portions, which are displaceable in the lateral direction, and extend in the longitudinal direction along the paired right and left seat frames, respectively, from the base portion; the base portion is fixed by being fastened to a body frame; each of the paired right and left extension portions includes an upper locking portion, both lateral locking portions, and a lower locking portion; and the lock on the seat frames is engaged or released by only moving the extension portions in two directions.
