The objective of the present invention is to dispose an ABS modulator 36 behind a top bridge 22 in a straddle-type vehicle 1 and, at the same time allow the brake pipe 41 leading from the ABS modulator 36 to the front wheel braking unit to have sufficient play to follow the expansion of a pair of front forks 23L, 23R. This is realised by means of a supporter 42 for supporting the brake pipe 41 associated with the top bridge and placed on a side near a second front fork 23R of paired front forks 23L, 23R and ahead of the top bridge 22 in the length direction of the vehicle. The brake pipe 41 extends from a part of the vehicle rearward of the top bridge 22 and passes through a space between a head pipe 11 and the second front fork 23R below the top bridge 22 to be supported by the supporter 42, extends upwards downstream of the supporter 42 and curves downward towards the first front fork 23L while passing through a higher position than the top bridge 22, and finally extends along the first front fork 23L to be connected to the front wheel braking unit 34.
