ABSTRACT:
A front fork assembly of a motorcycle comprises a pair of inverted type front forks each comprising an upper outer tube and a lower inner tube, upper and under brackets mounted to the front fork which are operatively connected to a body of the motorcycle, an axle bracket secured to the lower end of each of the front forks, a caliper bracket secured to the axle bracket, a caliper mounted to the caliper bracket, a disc plate supported by the axle bracket, a protector disposed in front of the front fork for protecting the front fork and a brake hose extending therealong, and a guide member secured to the front fork to vertically slidably support the front fork protector. The lower end portion of the brake hose is protected by a protector of specific structure so as not to contact to the road surface during the running of the motorcycle. The outer tube is prevented from slipping off upwardly by an engaging member specifically formed on the top end of the outer tube and the front wheel is prevented from contacting to a front fender by the specific arrangement of the engaging member. The guide member has a structure for preventing the accidental rotation of the front fork protector.
