Abstract
A fastening system for attaching a component to the monocoque of a motorcycle. The fastening system promotes a plurality of riding configurations for the motorcycle. The fastening system includes an assembly of a track and a movable foot piece. The movable foot piece slides along and is locked in the track to secure the component to the track according to a desired riding configuration of the motorcycle. When the component is the headstock, the fastening system allows for a change in the rake angle.
