Abstract
To facilitate positioning of a speedometer gear box provided between a hub and a caliper bracket. A speedometer gear box is disposed between one side face of a hub of a front wheel and a bracket boss portion of a caliper bracket for rotation on an axle. A stopper is provided at a position on an inner side surface of the caliper bracket at a location where it cannot be visually observed from the outside such that, when a link type front suspension is extended fully, a positioning projection formed on an outer periphery of the speedometer gear box secured to the axle is contacted with the stopper. An indicator is formed at a position of the inner side surface of the caliper bracket in the proximity of an end edge at which it can be visually observed readily from the outside. This position of the indicator is set such that it coincides with a registration position of the positioning projection when the front suspension is contracted by a predetermined static load
