Abstract: A braking system for a motorcycle includes a pressure regulating unit interposed between hydraulic pressure generating unit and a wheel brake, a control unit which controls operation of the pressure regulating unit so as to regulate hydraulic pressure outputted from the hydraulic pressure generating unit and exert the regulated pressure on the wheel brake, a support fixing the pressure regulating unit to an engine body mounted on a body frame of the motorcycle, and an elastic member disposed between the support and the pressure regulating unit for reducing or preventing vibration of the engine body being transmitted to the pressure regulating unit.

Abstract: A saddle-type vehicle is provided with a rear cowl for covering a rear portion of a body frame, while having an opening capable of being closed with a rider's seat. The vehicle also includes a rear lamp assembly including a tail lamp bulb and a pair of turn signal bulbs, with stays being provided on the upper side of the rear lamp assembly. The rear lamp assembly is mounted to the body frame with a center cover, for covering the upper side of a tail lamp part of the combination lamp, and turn signal covers, for covering the upper side of turn signal parts and turn signal sockets in the combination lamp. The turn signal covers each have an arm located below the rider's seat and extending toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction, and the arm is fastened to the stay.

Abstract: A rear fender of a motorcycle includes a hollow stay portion which extends in the vehicle rearward and downward direction from a base portion thereof arranged in the inside of a rear portion of a seat rail, the stay portion is configured to be dividable, and lines for electric components are encased in a hollow portion of the stay portion.

Abstract: Electrical units are effectively cooled, even if the longitudinal length of the cover member in which the electrical units to be cooled are accommodated is short, by easily guiding a flow of air during operation toward the electrical units. A second cover member which constitutes at least a part of a body cover together with a first cover member is positioned ahead of the first cover member which accommodates an electrical unit to be cooled. Inlets which let a flow of air during operation into the second cover member are disposed in the second cover member. An outlet for discharging a flow of air during operation out of the first cover member is provided in the first cover member.
