Abstract: An engine guard for a motorcycle is made so that it will mount onto a motorcycle frame and has horizontally extending rail sections on opposite sides of the frame. Foot pegs are mounted at the outer ends of the horizontally extending sections. The foot pegs are positioned on opposite sides of the motorcycle and will pivot about a generally horizontal axis from a deployed position where they extend outwardly from the horizontal rail sections to a stowed position wherein the foot pegs are nested into a recess provided in the top of the respective horizontal rail section. The foot pegs include anti-slip surfaces. The stowed position moves the foot pegs inwardly, and provides a surface for supporting the feet of a rider. When the pegs are extended outwardly, the feet on the pegs are spaced at a greater distance from the center plane of the motorcycle than when the foot pegs are in the stowed position.
Abstract: A motorcycle foot peg is made so that it can be supported onto the frame of a motorcycle in a location for forming a footrest. The foot peg includes a pivotable heel rest that has an arm pivotally mounted to the foot peg at one end with a lateral leg extending from the opposite end of the arm to cooperate to support a heel rest wall. The arm will pivot to a stored position so that the arm lies along, and preferably against a rear longitudinal edge of the foot peg. The arm has an integral lateral leg that is positioned across the outer end of the foot peg in the stored position. When the heel rest is pivoted to a working position, the arm extends out to the rear of the foot peg relative to a foot on the foot peg, and the heel support wall is positioned so the heel can be rested on the wall. In use, the heel rest will reduce fatigue and permit relaxation of the rider's feet and legs.

Abstract: An intake assembly of the present invention delivers air to a carburetor of an internal combustion engine. The assembly includes a housing mountable on the carburetor and which encloses an air filter. A first port is formed within a wall of the housing to permit fluid communication between the housing and the carburetor. The first port is positioned between the air filter and the carburetor. A second port is formed in a wall of the housing to permit air to enter the housing. The second port is positioned relative to the air filter on a side opposite from the first port. A valve assembly is pivotably mounted within the second port such that the valve assembly is positionable to control an air flow through the second port. Means are provided for controlling the pivoting of the valve assembly.
