The front end portions on both left and right sides of the rear fender 13 form a stepped portion 13a which is lowered rearward in a plan view (FIG. 4) (in the figure, the stepped portion on the right side of the vehicle body is not seen as being lower). The rear end 6b of the rear frame 6 is located close to 13a, and as a result, the rear frame 6 is located in front of the accessory storage space 35.

Although the storage box 10 is entirely formed of resin, the storage box 10 supports the rear extension 31 and the rear fender 13 instead of the conventional body frame, and therefore requires extremely large strength. Therefore, in order to obtain a predetermined strength, a laminate sheet obtained by laminating a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene and a long glass fiber is used as a raw material and molded by a flow molding method.

That is, in this fluid molding method, for example, a predetermined amount of blank material is prepared from a laminated sheet obtained by laminating a swirl mat of about 40 wt% which has been subjected to needle punching of glass long fibers in advance and polypropylene of about 60 wt% which has been subjected to heat and weather resistance treatment. Is cut, and the cut blank material is heated to about 200 to 220 ° C. higher than the melting point of the resin by a heater or the like to melt the resin and to make it easy to flow,
The heated blank is transferred to a mold, immediately molded, pressed and molded.

Next, the mounting structure of the seat catch will be described. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIGS.

On the other hand, the upper end of the side portion of the storage box 10 forms a thick flange portion 95, the upper end surface of which is formed flat, the flat portion 93 overlaps here, and the groove provided in a part thereof is provided. The projection 94 engages with 96. This groove 96
Is formed at the same time when the storage box 10 is formed. A standing wall 97 protruding upward is integrally formed inside the upper end surface of the flange portion 95.

Above the flange portion 95, a peripheral edge portion 100 of the seat under cover 16 overlaps, and a pair of ribs 10 formed on the back surface of the pair of ribs 10 are formed so as to protrude downward with an interval inside and outside.
1 and 102 are provided, and a groove 103 in which a seal member 98 is attached is formed between them.

In this groove 103, both ribs 101, 10
A rib 104 is formed in the shape of a partition wall connecting the two, and the lower end of this rib 104 has a smaller amount of downward protrusion than the inner and outer ribs 101 and 102, and the lower end of the rib 104 adheres the sealing member 98. .

In this structure, the relationship between the concavities and convexities may be reversed. As shown in FIG.
5 may be provided, and an engaging protrusion 106 engaging with the flange 95 may be provided on the flange 95 side.

FIG. 14 shows another embodiment of the rear storage structure, in which a rear extension 31 is formed so as to also serve as a rear fender, and an oil tank 3 is provided on the rear 33.
6 is supported, and the space above the rear portion 33 is an accessory storage space 35.

In this case, the boss 107 is protruded long upward from the rear portion 33, and the grip 1 is attached to these upper ends.
2 is installed.

Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment will be described. As is apparent from FIG. 9 and the like, the attachment leg 62 is projected downward from the lower portion of the seat catch 60, and a space 76 is provided between the lower portion of the seat catch 60 and the battery storage portion 42 provided in the storage box 10. So this space 76
The battery 77, which is an auxiliary device, can be stored by utilizing the above. Therefore, the space 76 below the seat catch 60, which is a conventional dead space, can be effectively used.
