Abstract
A vehicle assembly having a front fender mounting structure, a rear fender mounting structure, a cowling and fuel tank assembly structure and an engine intake structure. The front fender mounting mechanism includes sides plates associated with the front fender and a bracket installed on a front fork which are fastened together by bolts. The bolts cooperate with nuts which are elastically retained by means of nail pieces extending inwardly from the inside surface of the side plate sections of the front fender. A rear fork cover section of a rear fender and a chain case are fastened together by screws to a boss formed on a rear fork of the vehicle. The rear fender and the rear fork appear as if they are formed in a single body through this mounting. On the upper cowling of the vehicle, bosses are formed which extend inwardly and receive elastic members. A fuel tank includes holes extending downwardly therefrom to receive the bosses and elastic members. The upper cowling is assembled from two halves and during assembly the bosses are positioned with the fuel tank so as to compress the elastic members. A rubber sheet is installed between the engine and the air cleaner of the vehicle and is retained by a stay extending from the vehicle body near the opening of the air inlet duct.
