An engine 1 is a rear exhaust engine provided with an exhaust system component on a rear side in a vehicle front-rear direction. This engine 1 includes a first flow rectifying member 17, provided above the engine, that subjects traveling wind to flow regulation so that the traveling wind flows rearward and a second flow rectifying member 18, disposed adjacently to a rear side of the first flow rectifying member 17, that subjects the traveling wind subjected to flow regulation by the first flow rectifying member 17 to flow regulation so that the traveling wind is directed to the exhaust system component 13, in which fuel system components 22 and 23 are disposed below the first flow rectifying member 17.
