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.

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.
