## Abstract

The invention is directed to an ABS unit attachment structure including: a floating bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body frame via a vibration absorbing member; an ABS unit attached to a first attachment surface of the floating bracket; and a weight attached to a second attachment surface of the floating bracket, and a motorcycle including the ABS unit attachment structure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An ABS unit attachment structure comprising:
a floating bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body frame via a vibration absorbing member, and having side parts;
an ABS unit attached to a first attachment surface of the floating bracket; and
a weight attached to a second attachment surface of the floating bracket;
wherein
both the side parts of the floating bracket are fixed to the vehicle body frame,
the ABS unit and the weight are between positions at which the both side parts are fixed to the vehicle body frame, and
the floating bracket is disposed on a hypothetical center line passing through a center of a vehicle body in width of the vehicle body and extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body,
the ABS unit and the weight are positioned on the hypothetical center line.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The ABS unit attachment structure according to claim 1, wherein the first attachment surface and the second attachment surface are a top surface and a back surface of the floating bracket, respectively.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The ABS unit attachment structure according to claim 1, wherein the weight is an exhaust valve actuator.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The ABS unit attachment structure according to claim 2, wherein the weight is an exhaust valve actuator.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The ABS unit attachment structure according to claim 3, wherein the floating bracket is fixed to the vehicle body frame so that the exhaust valve actuator is located over an exhaust valve.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The ABS unit attachment structure according to claim 4, wherein the floating bracket is fixed to the vehicle body frame so that the exhaust valve actuator is located over an exhaust valve.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A motorcycle comprising the ABS unit attachment structure according to claim 1.
