The position of the discs is fixed with respect to plate (3) fixed in the frame of the motorcycle, after the position of the footrest is adjusted within the scope of a circumference which has as center the center of the discs and as radius, the eccentricity of the footrest (1) with respect to the same center, as shown in FIG. 1.
Claims2
In a motorcycle which comprises a frame, a pedal on each side of said frame, a footrest on each side of said frame in conjunction with the pedal, a device for the adjustment of each footrest which comprises two opposite movable discs, a plate for supporting the discs, the plate being fixed to the frame, the discs being mounted so as to be capable of rotating within a cavity formed in said plate, the discs having an axis of rotation, each footrest being screwed on said discs in a position which is eccentric with respect to the axis of rotation of said discs whereby it is possible to adjust the position of each said footrest within a circumference which has as its center the axis of rotation of the discs and as the radius a segment equal to the eccentricity of the footrest.
