Estimating the term…
A motorcycle includes an integrated locking system. The locking system actuates a seat lock from the main switch as well as a handlebar or steering lock. The steering lock is structured such that an overlap of components results in a locking pin passage that extends into a locking pin chamber. The locking pin passage is substantially shielded by a labyrinth defined by overlapping components. The main switch is positioned forward of at least one gauge and a meter cover surrounds at least the gauge and the main switch as well as covers at least a portion of the fuel tank.
An integrated locking system for a motorcycle, said system comprising a main switch adapted to be mounted on the motorcycle, a steering lock and a seat lock, said seat lock being remotely positioned relative to said main switch, said seat lock selectively locking a seat of the motorcycle in a closed position, a cable connecting said seat lock to said main switch, said main switch selectively unlocking said seat lock by moving said cable, said steering lock being constructed to selectively limit movement of a steering system of the motorcycle, said steering lock also being actuated by said main switch between a locked position and an unlocked position, said main switch being operated by a key and said main switch also controlling various electrical components of the motorcycle.
A motorcycle comprising a frame, a front wheel being dirigibly connected to a forward portion of said frame with a steering assembly, a seat being moveably attached to said frame, a fuel tank being mounted on said frame and being positioned at least partially between said seat and said steering assembly, a main switch being positioned forward of at least a portion of said fuel tank, a gauge mounted above said fuel tank, a dash cover extending around said gauge and said main switch, said main switch controlling at least a portion of an electrical system of the motorcycle, said main switch also controlling a front wheel lock and a seat lock, said front wheel lock comprising a strike member that limits steering movement of said front wheel when engaged, and said seat lock comprising a latch mechanism that locks said seat to said frame when engaged.
A seat locking mechanism for a motorcycle, the mechanism comprising a main switch positioned forward of a substantial portion of a fuel tank of the motorcycle, said main switch being operated by rotating a key, a seat lock mounted to a seat of the motorcycle, and a wire extending between said main switch and said seat lock, said wire extending away from said main switch in a direction generally parallel to an axis of rotation of said key in said main switch, and said main switch moving said wire in a direction generally parallel to said axis.
