    Abstract: A motorcycle rear wheel trim assembly, for mounting relative to a motorcycle rear wheel assembly, comprises a trim piece having an upper edge and a curved lower edge. A first mounting bracket is connected to the trim piece at a first end of the trim piece, and a second mounting bracket is attached to a second end of the trim piece. The first mounting bracket is configured to be connected to a first location on a first stationary structural member of a motorcycle adjacent to a rear wheel assembly of the motorcycle.

  • Publication number: 20080111419
    Abstract: A wheel spoke trim piece for attachment to a spoke and a curved rim portion of a wheel includes a first end opposite a second end, and inner and outer surfaces that extend between the first and second ends. The inner surface is generally planar but curves to form a curved portion adjacent to the second end of the trim piece. In this regard, the inner surface is configured to accept a double-sided adhesive material that permits the trim piece to be mounted on a wheel spoke with the curved portion of the trim piece positioned along at least a portion of the curved rim portion of the wheel. A textured surface region may also be formed in the outer surface between the first and second ends.

  • Patent number: 7318624
    Abstract: A motorcycle driver backrest has a pair of struts that support a backrest pad and are positioned on opposite sides of a motorcycle, where they are pivotally supported on brackets on the motorcycle. The struts have pivot assemblies that attach to the brackets that permit the backrest to be moved from a stopped working position for supporting a back of a motorcycle rider, to a forwardly folded position. The pivot assemblies are locked onto the brackets with latch dogs, and the latch dogs in turn are moveable between latched and unlatched positions with a hand actuator disc accessible from the exterior of the pivot assemblies. When the latch dog is in an unlatched position, the struts can be sprung apart for removal from the brackets.

  • Patent number: 7287773
    Abstract: A set of motorcycle floor boards are provided in position to permit a rider of a motorcycle to place feet on the floor boards when they are generally horizontal. The floor boards are pivotally mounted so that they will pivot upwardly to a vertical retracted position and are made and mounted so they will pivot to be substantially between 80 and 90 degrees from a horizontal plane. This pivoting amount will minimize the space between outer edges of the floor boards in their vertical retracted position to in turn minimize the need for a rider to spread feet widely in order to stabilize the motorcycle when stopped.

  • Patent number: 7114774
    Abstract: A passenger armrest for a motorcycle is mounted on a pivoting strut that has an armrest pad on an outer end, and which moves from a position adjacent a side of a motorcycle passenger seat, to a position wherein it is remote from the passenger seat and is open so that a passenger can mount and dismount the passenger seat. A beverage container holder is mounted on the armrest pad, and can used for supporting a beverage container when it extends forwardly from the armrest pad and then folded and pivoted so it is underneath the armrest pad.
