Abstract

A handlebar fixing structure enabling a handlebar to be attached to a high position to provide high vibration absorbency. The handlebar fixing structure includes a handlebar, a handlebar post supported above a steering system, and a handlebar clamper for fixing the handlebar to the handlebar post. The handlebar clamper includes a first damper member and a second damper member disposed so as to sandwich a cylindrical portion of the handlebar post and the handlebar from a direction orthogonal to the vehicle widthwise direction. An elastic member is interposed between the first clamper member and the handlebar post and between the second damper member and the handlebar post. The first damper member and the second clamper member are coupled with each other by a bolt and include abutting faces for abutting with each other so as to receive an axial force of the bolt.
