A handle weight mounting structure comprising:

• a hollow handle pipe;
• a handle weight arranged in the handle pipe, the handle weight being provided integrally with:
• a bolt insertion hole extending in an axial direction through an entire length of the handle weight, and having an inner diameter on an inner portion thereof in a vehicle widthwise direction that is set larger than an inner diameter on an outer portion thereof in the vehicle width direction,
• a tapered portion on an inner-most end of the bolt insertion hole, and
• a cut-through slot extending in an axial direction along the inner portion thereof, the cut-through slot exposing the bolt insertion hole from outside of the handle weight;
• a nut member formed with a tapered portion as an integral part thereof, the tapered portion of the nut being engaged with the tapered portion and the cut-through slot of the handle weight;
• a bolt passing through the bolt insertion hole of the handle weight for fastening the handle weight and the nut member to each other;
• and
• a mounting member operatively connected to the nut member forming a dynamic damper, said mounting member being supported on an inside of the handle pipe in a floating state,
• further comprising:
• a rubber member arranged in the hollow handle pipe in a position spaced apart from the nut member in a direction toward a center of the handle pipe,
• wherein the mounting member includes a pawl portion that projects in a radially inward direction and engages with a groove portion of the rubber member.
