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.
