  • Motorcycle frame and a method of making same
    Patent number: 6837328
    Abstract: The motorcycle frame involves a “bridge frame” in which a motor oil reservoir is incorporated. The bridge frame has two longitudinal tubes arranged at a distance from each other and basically symmetrically to the central longitudinal plane of the motorcycle, the one end of which, respectively, is connected with the steering head bearing tube, and which are connected with each other in the region between the steering head bearing tube and its other end through a front cross tube near the steering head bearing and a rear cross tube. The longitudinal support tubes and the cross tubes form a closed fluid system, which is used as a motor oil reservoir.
