  • Patent number: 6237982
    Abstract: A motorcycle covering has a device for influencing a water flow which guides rain water taken along by an air flow on an outer surface of a motorcycle covering. This device assures that the rain water, after its detachment from the motorcycle covering, does not hit a driver and/or passenger. At least a partial surface of the motorcycle covering is provided with at least one rib which projects toward the outside and which, viewed in the direction of a longitudinal axis of a motorcycle, guides water from the front toward the rear and, viewed in the direction of a transverse axis of the motorcycle, guides water from the inside to the outside such that, after detachment of the water from the motorcycle covering, the water moves at least past partial regions of the driver and/or of the passenger.

  • Patent number: 5533783
    Abstract: A divided seat for a motor vehicle, especially for a motorcycle, is described in which both seat parts are removable and mountable independently of one another. Mounting is accomplished by a central locking mechanism controlled by a central lock. With the seat part for the passenger removed, the part of the vehicle body located below is used as an elongated luggage rack or storage area. This storage area can be provided with a cover that closes a container located beneath for tools and the like. A separate locking block permits locking this cover when the seat part is removed, likewise using the central lock.
