FRONT WHEEL SUPPORTING FRAME STRUCTURE OF SADDLE-RIDE TYPE VEHICLE

A front wheel supporting frame structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle including: main frames (2) which extend in vehicle front-rear directions; and upper and lower arms (21, 22) which extend in the vehicle front-rear directions and by which a front wheel (11) is supported to be swingable in up-down directions further includes lower frames (6) extending forward in a vehicle lower portion from rear portions of the main frames (2) and then extending upward in a vehicle front portion. In the front wheel supporting frame structure, upper connection portions (3a) to which rear end portions (21b) of the upper arm (21) are swingably connected are formed in upper front portions of the main frames (2), extending portions (30) extending downward are formed in lower front portions of the main frames (2), lower connection portions (3b) to which rear end portions (22b) of the lower arm (22) are swingably connected are formed in the extending portions (30), and upper front portions (6a) of the lower frames (6) are connected to the extending portions (30). The arrangement improves the stiffness of a frame in a front wheel supporting frame structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle including upper and lower arms which extend in vehicle front-rear directions and by which a front wheel is supported to be swingable in the up-down directions.
