  • Publication number: 20060055148
    Abstract: A motorcycle leg-rest to support the rider's legs during long cruises providing increased comfort and reduced fatigue. The leg-rest position is adjustable to accommodate rider size and preference. Mounted at a height where it will not strike the ground while cornering, but low enough to be in safe proximity to the foot controls, the leg-rest offers a preferable alternative to the common rider practice of resting the legs higher up than the foot pegs on the frame, fairing, etc. When not in use, the leg-rest is safely out-of-place to avoid any interference with normal operation. During use, the rider's leg lies on a smooth, cushioned, slightly concave pad. The construction and shape of the pad provides the benefit of reduced muscle fatigue and joint stress.
