Abstract
A pannier mount assembly for attachment to a motorcycle frame comprises a first member attachable to the frame, the first member comprising a first pannier fixture point. The pannier mount assembly also comprises a second member comprising an elongate arm pivotably attached to the first member and comprising a second pannier fixture point. The second member has a free end. The second member is configured to pivot from a stored position where the free end is substantially adjacent to the first member to a deployed position where the free end is rotated away from the first member thereby increasing the separation between the first and second pannier fixture points.
Claims2
A method of securing a pannier to a pannier mount assembly attached to a motorcycle frame comprising the steps of:
- providing a pannier mount assembly comprising a first member and a second member, the second member comprising an elongate arm pivotably attached to the first member, the first member comprising a first pannier fixture point, and the second member comprising a second pannier fixture point;
- pivoting the second member from a stored position where a free end of the second member is substantially adjacent to the first member, to a deployed position where the free end is rotated away from the first member thereby increasing the separation between the first and second pannier fixture points;
- and
- attaching a pannier to the pannier mount assembly via the first and second pannier fixture points,
- wherein the elongate arm of the second member is configured to pivot about an axis substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of a motorcycle rear wheel attached to the motorcycle frame.
