A part attachment structure of a straddle type vehicle comprising:

a body frame having paired right and left frame members, each extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
and
a detachable part supported by said paired right and left frame members, wherein:
said detachable part includes a base portion spanning said right and left frame members, and paired right and left extension portions, the right and left extension portions extending from the base portion in the longitudinal direction along said right and left frame members, respectively, and being displaceable in a width direction of the vehicle,
said base portion is fixed to said body frame by being fastened to the body frame, and
each of said paired right and left extension portions includes:
an upper locking portion placed on corresponding one of the frame members,
a first lateral locking portion extending downward from one side of said upper locking portion in the lateral direction, and arranged so as to face a first side surface of the corresponding one of said frame members located on one side in the lateral direction of the corresponding one of said frame members so as to be able to come into contact with the first side surface,
a lower locking portion extending from a lower end of said first lateral locking portion toward the other side in the lateral direction, and arranged under the corresponding one of said frame members with a first vertical gap therebetween in the vertical direction, and
a second lateral locking portion extending downward from the other side in the lateral direction of said upper locking portion, with a vertical length equal to or less than the first vertical gap, and arranged so as to face a second side surface of the corresponding one of said frame members located on the other side in the lateral direction of the corresponding one of said frame members so as to be able to come into contact with the second side surface.
