Abstract
The deflection of a flexible linear body disposed between first and second members is relatively changed in position for easy restriction. A guide is integrally formed of soft synthetic resin and is mounted between an inner tube and an outer tube of a front forked portion for holding an intermediate portion of a brake hose connected to a brake caliper for braking a front wheel of a motorcycle. The guide includes a pair of ring-like mounting portions fixed to the inner tube and the outer tube, a band-like bridging portion for connecting both the mounting portions to each other, a plurality of holding portions provided on the bridging portion for holding the brake hose. The bridging portion has a flat rectangular sectional shape and is mounted to be curved in the X-direction. The bridging portion is easy to be deflected in the X'-direction and is difficult to be deflected in the Y-Y directions so that the brake hose does not interfere with a boot and the front fender.
