Vehicle provided with leaning-capable vehicle-body frame and two front wheels
A brake controlling operation transmission member includes a leaning-associated deforming portion that deforms in response to turning of a body frame. A vehicle includes at least a portion of the leaning-associated deforming portion located between a first restrictor located below a lower cross portion in relation to an up-and-down direction of the body frame and a central portion in a left-and-right direction of the body frame so as to prevent movement of the brake controlling operation transmission member and a brake device.
BRAKE MOUNTS FOR BICYCLES
Brake mounts for bicycles are described herein. The brake mounts are for coupling a brake caliper to a bicycle. An example brake mount includes a bracket having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The bracket has bores to receive fasteners to couple the brake caliper to the bracket. The brake mount includes a sleeve extending from the first side of the bracket. An opening extends through the sleeve and the bracket. The opening is to receive an axle of a hub assembly of the bicycle. The sleeve is to extend into an axle opening in a frame of the bicycle. A distal end of the sleeve is threaded. The brake mount also includes a nut to be threadably coupled to the distal end of the sleeve when the sleeve is inserted into the axle opening in the frame e.
HYDRAULIC BRAKING DEVICE
A hydraulic braking device includes an engaging base, a hydraulic brake, and a locking device. The hydraulic brake is provided on the engaging base. The locking device is adapted to fix the engaging base on a suspension fork of a bicycle, and includes a bolt and a handle, wherein the bolt passes through the engaging base to be screwed into a tapped hole of the suspension fork. The handle has a cam-shaped head pivotally connected to the bolt, and is pivotable between a first position and a second position. When the handle is located at the first position, the head presses against the engaging base to fix the engaging base on the suspension fork. When the handle is located at the second position, the engaging base is no longer being pressed against by the head, whereby the engaging base is movable relative to the suspension fork.

SADDLE-RIDE TYPE VEHICLE
One embodiment provides a saddle-ride type vehicle. The vehicle includes a main frame; a drive source supported by a lower side of the main frame; an energy storing part supported by an upper side of the main frame; a front wheel steerably supported via a front fork mounted on a front side of the main frame; a rear wheel supported via a swing arm mounted on a rear side of the main frame and configured to be driven by the drive source; and seat frames disposed on the rear side of the main frame to support a riding seat. A braking control device is disposed within a lateral width between the seat frames, and is supported by a rear fender supported by the seat frame via a vibration control member. And, an inertia measuring device is supported by the braking control device.
SADDLE-RIDING-TYPE VEHICLE CABLE SUPPORT STRUCTURE
A saddle-riding-type vehicle cable support structure is a cable support structure configured to support a first cable and a second cable that are joined to a side part of a wheel, the cable support structure including: a joint section provided on a middle of the first cable and which is fixed to a vehicle body; and a second cable support member attached to the joint section and which supports the second cable.
CALIPER GROUP OF A DISC BRAKE FOR A BICYCLE AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING A CALIPER GROUP ON A LOAD-BEARING ELEMENT OF A BICYCLE
A hydraulically operated disc brake caliper group with a fixing side faced towards a load-bearing element when mounted on it. The fixing side is configured to substantially rest directly on the load-bearing element, and a hydraulic connector is positioned at the fixing side of the caliper body.
This configuration makes it possible to house the tube entirely in the load-bearing element of the bicycle, and to have complete closure of the opening on the load-bearing element. Furthermore, if vibrations generated while the bicycle is in motion loosen the fasteners, they can be retightened without having to dismount the caliper group.

ABS MODULATOR SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF SADDLE TYPE VEHICLE
An ABS modulator support structure of a saddle type vehicle includes a main frame, a down frame, a pair of shroud which cover the right and left side of the frames, a radiator, a reserve tank which stores a coolant for the radiator, and an ABS module. The radiator is arranged on one (left side) side of the down frame 18 in a width direction of the vehicle. The ABS module is arranged on the other (right side) of the sides of the down frame in the width direction of the vehicle. The reserve tank and the shrouds are arranged outside the ABS module.
Vehicle
A vehicle includes a body frame, a left front wheel and a right front wheel, a link mechanism configured to be deformed as a vehicle body leans, and vehicle components disposed directly forward of the link mechanism in relation to a front-and-rear direction of the vehicle. The vehicle components are supported on the body frame via penetrating portions that extend from the body frame toward the front of the vehicle and penetrate the link mechanism.
