Abstract
A load receiving pipe extends from a separate frame and has a closed portion at the extremity thereof. A meter unit is disposed immediately behind the closed portion. Accordingly, the meter unit can be accommodated in a limited space in front of a handle post cover and behind the load receiving pipe, and the probability that a load on the load receiving pipe comes into contact with the meter unit can be avoided. Therefore, the appearance of the front portion of a vehicle body can be improved while improving the load receiving capacity at the front of the vehicle body.
