Abstract

To permit easy reduction of a large-type rear fender or the like and to realize easy enhancement of appearance quality and mounting/detaching operability in the periphery of a license plate. A caliper bracket that is rotatably supported together with a rear wheel and that supports a rear wheel brake caliper is provided. The caliper bracket supports a license plate stay to which a license plate is attached.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A saddle riding vehicle comprising:
a swing arm that supports a rear wheel; and
a caliper bracket that is supported together with the rear wheel and that supports a rear wheel brake caliper,
wherein the caliper bracket supports a license plate stay to which a license plate is to be attached;
a rear fender, which is supported by the license plate stay and to which the license olate is to be attached; and,
wherein the caliper bracket is located above an axle of the rear wheel.

2. The saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the rear wheel brake caliper is located on an upper side of the swing arm in side view of a vehicle body.

3. The saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a rear edge of the caliper bracket and a rear edge of the license plate stay are continuous with each other in side view of a vehicle body.

4. The saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a front edge of the caliper bracket and a front edge of the license plate stay are continuous with each other in side view of a vehicle body.

5. The saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein a through-hole is provided between a rear edge and a front edge of the caliper bracket, and
a wheel speed sensor that detects speed of the rear wheel is fixed to the caliper bracket in such a manner as to overlap with the through-hole.

6. The saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the license plate stay is Y-shaped in side view of a vehicle body.

7. The saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 , comprising:
a pivot frame that rotatably supports a front end of the swing arm; and
a resin frame extending in a longitudinal vehicle direction while passing on an upper side of the pivot frame, wherein the pivot frame and the resin frame are fastened together by a fastening member penetrating the pivot frame and the resin frame in a vertical direction.

8. A saddle riding vehicle comprising:
a swing arm that supports a rear wheel; and
a caliper bracket that is supported together with the rear wheel and that supports a rear wheel brake caliper,
wherein the caliper bracket supports a license plate stay to which a license plate is to be attached;
wherein a through-hole is provided between a rear edge and a front edge of the caliper bracket, and
a wheel speed sensor that detects speed of the rear wheel is fixed to the caliper bracket in such a manner as to overlap with the through-hole.

9. A saddle riding vehicle comprising:
a swing arm that supports a rear wheel;
a caliper bracket that is supported together with the rear wheel and that supports a rear wheel brake caliper,
a pivot frame that rotatably supports a front end of the swing arm; and
a resin frame extending in a longitudinal vehicle direction while passing on an upper side of the pivot frame, wherein the pivot frame and the resin frame are fastened together by a fastening member penetrating the pivot frame and the resin frame in a vertical direction
wherein the caliper bracket supports a license plate stay to which a license plate is to be attached.
