ABSTRACT:
To improve the operability of push rods. A link-type front suspension for a front wheel includes forked pipes, push rods, damping devices, upper links, and pivot links. The push rod and the damping device are disposed substantially coaxially with each other in a side view and are rotatably connected to each other. Upper ends of the damping devices and upper ends of the forked pipes are connected by an upper bracket. A top bridge is provided to mount the upper ends of the forked pipes, and a steering stem is provided to mount intermediate portions of the forked pipes. A stem pipe is provided for connecting a rear central portion of the top bridge to a rear central portion of the steering stem and is turnably mounted to a head pipe. A leading end of the pivot arm is connected to an axle. The length of the pivot arm is equal to that of the upper link. The left side upper link extends forwardly from a point connected to the push rod, and the extending end thereof is connected to a mounting portion of a front fender. A fender link, being substantially equal in length to the upper link and parallel thereto, is provided on the right side of the vehicle at a position lower than the upper link. One end of the fender link is connected to the forked pipe. Thus, the upper link, fender link, front fender and forked pipe form an approximately parallelogram link.
