Abstract
A rear suspension system for two-wheeled motor vehicles having a generally triangular configuration includes first and second spaced apart support axle plates having aligned apertures that receive an axle of a rear wheel of the vehicle. An upper arm assembly extends from an upper end of the support axle plates to a pivotal connection at a frame of the vehicle. A lower arm assembly is pivotally connected to a pivot arm assembly and the first and second support axle plates. A shock unit is pivotally connected to the lower arm assembly at one end, and to the vehicle frame at the opposite end. The system provides improved wheel contact with the ground and rear wheel control and stability.

A rear suspension system for two-wheeled motorized vehicles, comprising:
- first and second spaced apart and parallel support axle plates;
- a lower arm assembly pivotally connected at a first end thereof to a vehicle frame and pivotally connected at a second end thereof to the respective first and second support axle plates;
- a upper arm assembly extending from the first and second support axle plates to the vehicle frame;
- a pivot arm assembly pivotally connected at a first end to a rear end of a frame of the vehicle and pivotally connected at a second end thereof to the lower arm assembly;
- and
- a compressible shock unit associated at one end thereof with the lower arm assembly or pivot arm assembly and connected at the opposite end thereof to the vehicle frame.
A rear suspension system for a motorcycle, comprising:
- first and second spaced apart and parallel support axle plates having aligned apertures configured to receive an axle of a rear wheel of the motorcycle;
- an lower arm assembly including a base pivotally connected to the vehicle frame, a first elongated arm extending from the base to a pivotal connection point at a lower end of the first support axle plate, and a second elongated arm extending from the base generally parallel to the first arm to a pivotal connection point at a lower end of the second support axle plate;
- an upper arm assembly including a first elongated arm extending from an upper end of the first support axle plate to a base, and a second elongated arm extending from an upper end of the second support axle plate to the base;
- a pivot arm assembly pivotally connected at a first end to a motorcycle frame and pivotally connected at a second end thereof to the base of the lower arm assembly;
- and
- a compressible shock unit connected at one end thereof with the lower arm assembly and connected at the opposite end thereof to the motorcycle frame.
