Tank mounting pieces are provided in a body frame for a fuel tank mounting
structure for mounting a fuel tank to the body frame of a saddle-ride
type vehicle. More particularly, an upper rear frame is provided, located
under the fuel tank, with a band stay for mounting to the body frame in a
bottom wall of the fuel tank. The band stay and the metallic tank
mounting pieces are connected together through a band member to fix the
fuel tank to the body frame.
