  • Patent number: 6712377
    Abstract: A lean-right steel motorcycle support brace which is removably attachable to the left side of the lower portion of a motorcycle frame. A generally flat elongated beam of steel is formed with a hook portion at one end and a circular footpad formed at a thirty degree angle to the beam at a second of the beam. The beam has elongated strengthening ribs along the beam sides. The ribs extend from a point adjacent to the hook portion to a point adjacent to the footpad. The hook is shaped to conform to the outer diameter of the tubular frame portions on the underside of a motorcycle, particularly the frame of a HARLEY DAVIDSON™ motorcycle. When properly installed, the brace temporarily supports a motorcycle in a generally upright position leaning on the brace slightly to the right for easy cleaning and servicing.
