Abstract
In a motorcycle in which a main seat, a fuel tank, and an engine are supported by a vehicle body frame, a center cover is disposed so as to be laid across a pair of left and right pipe support members. A fuel pump and an ignition coil are supported by and positioned on the center cover. The aforementioned arrangement provides support for auxiliary equipment for the engine without the necessity of using a special supporting member and without impairing the layout of members, such as a battery case in the vicinity of the engine.
