       8. The steering shaft modifier of claim 5, wherein the part includes a sloped contact surface in the length direction of the part, which contacts the steering shaft installation portion of the steering head, whereby the frame is fixed the steering head. 
     
     
       9. The steering shaft modifier of claim 5, wherein the part has a shape corresponding to a shape of the coupling hole of the frame. 
     
     
       10. The steering shaft modifier of claim 5, wherein the part includes a shaft coupling part. 
     
     
       11. A steering shaft modifier installed in a steering head of a motorcycle to modify a steering shaft, the steering shaft modifier comprising:
 a steering shaft penetration portion having a through hole; and   a frame formed integrally with the steering shaft penetration portion and configured to cover at least a portion of a front surface of the steering head,   wherein the frame is fixed to a steering shaft installation portion of the steering head, the frame comprises an upper block extending from an upper portion of the steering shaft penetration portion, the upper block having a coupling hole formed therein, and wherein the coupling hole mounts a part which is mounted to the steering shaft installation portion; and the steering shaft penetration portion has upper and lower bearing insertion portions, and the steering shaft penetration portion is positioned such that the lower bearing insertion portion of the steering shaft penetration portion is higher than a lower bearing installation portion of the steering shaft installation portion, the steering shaft penetration portion having a length shorter than the steering shaft installation portion.   
     
     
       12. The steering shaft modifier of claim 11, wherein the part includes a sloped contact surface in the length direction of the part, which contacts the steering shaft installation portion of the steering head, whereby the frame is fixed the steering head.
