Abstract: A secondary footrest assembly is supplied for use by a passenger for use on a motorcycle to permit the passenger to vary his or her foot position. A preferred embodiment of the footrest assembly utilizes an elongated arm member arranged for support at its lower end, to a cantilever support member conventionally used to provide support to a foldable pedal-type footrest or to a conventional foldable peg-like footrest. The cantilever support member and the support at the lower end of the elongated arm member are each preferably configured in registering cross-section to prevent or resist torque exerted on the arm when foot pressure is applied to an alternate footrest extending from and supported by the distal end of the lever arm.
