Abstract: A motorcycle includes a frame, a rear fender coupled to a rear portion of the frame, an accessory support structure and a pair of docking structures. The frame defines a longitudinal center axis, the motorcycle having left and right sides divided by the longitudinal axis. The accessory support structure is positioned laterally adjacent to both left and right sides of the rear fender. The pair of docking structures each includes a lug secured to the frame and extending transverse to the longitudinal center axis, and a hollow fitting positionable on the lug in a plurality of different rotational orientations about a mutual axis of the lug and the fitting. The fitting defines a docking surface with a non-circular cross-section. Lateral offset of the docking surface may be adjustable by reversing the fitting on the lug.

Abstract: Methods for vapor depositing high temperature coatings on gas turbine components are provided, as are methods for producing pre-alloyed pucks for usage in vapor deposition processes. In one embodiment, the method includes the step of producing a pre-alloyed puck including a master alloy and a high vaporization temperature refractory metal, which has a vaporization temperature greater than each of the master alloy constituents. The pre-alloyed puck is placed over an ingot and heated to a temperature greater than the melt point of the pre-alloyed puck and less than the vaporization temperature of the high vaporization temperature refractory metal to transform the puck and a portion of the ingot into a molten pool and to produce a vapor stream containing the constituents of the master alloy and the ingot. The vapor stream is exposed to a gas turbine engine component to deposit the high temperature coating over at least one surface thereof.
