Abstract: A lamp assembly mountable on a motorcycle having first and second fork tubes. The lamp assembly includes a bracket that is attachable to only the first fork tube. The bracket is adapted to be solely supported by the first fork tube. A first light is coupled to the bracket and a second light is coupled to the bracket.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) directional light bar assembly for use on a motorcycle includes a substantially rigid light bar having opposite ends. Apertures are defined generally adjacent each of the opposite ends by a rear-facing surface of the light bar. A lens is sized to fit at least partially within each aperture such that a surface of each lens is substantially flush with the rear-facing surface of the light bar. An LED pod including a plurality of LEDs is disposed adjacent each lens. Each LED includes a selected number of LED running lights wired to emit light during operation of the motorcycle, and a selected number of LED brake lights wired to emit light during operation of the motorcycle only when a motorcycle brake is applied. A retention plate or member is interconnected to the light bar generally adjacent each opposite end, and at least partially captures each LED pod and lens between the retention member and the light bar.

Abstract: A footboard assembly including a resilient pad having a planar portion and a lip portion extending outward from the planar portion, and a cover member position over the resilient pad. The lip portion extends laterally outward further than an outer perimeter of the cover member. The cover member includes a plurality of openings, and the resilient pad includes a plurality of raised portions extending upward from the planar portion and through the openings. Shaker mounts are formed integrally with the resilient pad to provide vibration damping between the motorcycle platform and the footboard assembly. A substantially rigid insert is molded into the planar portion of the resilient pad. A thin layer of resilient material is positioned under the insert to completely enclose the insert.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device comprising a lower unit including a rotatably mounted propeller and an internal combustion engine operable in a predetermined mode and adapted to be drivingly connected to said propeller, the engine including an engine block, a sump having an outlet and having an unobstructed inlet communicating with said engine block to provide a free gravity flow path from the engine block into the sump, a controllable valve communicating with the outlet, a fluid conduit communicating with the controllable valve and with a preselected location within the engine block, and a control mechanism responsive to operation of the engine in the predetermined mode for opening the controllable valve when the engine is operating in the predetermined mode.
