  • Publication number: 20030034193
    Abstract: An auxiliary wheel conversion assembly for a motorcycle comprises a quick connect and disconnect structure, including a generally U-shaped frame having side frame members on opposite sides of a receiving pocket to receive the rear drive wheel of the motorcycle when connected thereto, a cross-bar across the rear between the two side frame members, an auxiliary wheel mounted along and to the outside of each side frame member, such wheels being of the same size as the rear drive wheel and substantially in axial alignment therewith when the conversion assembly is connected to the motorcycle. The forward end portions of each side frame member converge inwardly as they extend forwardly. Their forward ends include connecting members for quick releasable connection to corresponding cooperative connecting members secured to the forward and lower portion of the motorcycle frame.
