Motorcycle shift pedal assembly

A motorcycle shift pedal assembly which is connected to a transmission of a motorcycle to shift the gears upward from a lower gear to a higher gear for acceleration and downward from a higher gear to a lower gear for deceleration where the motorcycle includes a frame, clutch means on said motorcycle that engages said transmission to allow shifting into various gears as desired, wherein said shift pedal assembly comprises:

• a shift assembly mounting plate secured to said frame;
• a shift pedal arm means having a pair of opposed ends and including a pivot shaft intermediate said opposed ends, said pivot shaft pivotally mounted on said shift assembly mounting plate and connected to said shift pedal arm means for pivotal rotation therewith about a pivot axis, said shift pedal arm means including a foot rest centrally mounted thereon for selective movement about said pivot axis relative to said shift pedal arm means, said foot rest projecting outward from said shift pedal arm means, and a front shift pedal mounted adjacent one of said pair of opposed ends of said shift pedal arm means and a rear shift pedal mounted adjacent said other of said opposed ends of said shift pedal arm means so that downward foot pressure on either of said shift pedals will simultaneously pivot said shift pedal arm means, and said front shift pedal and said rear shift pedal and said pivot shaft;
• pivotal lever means including a portion fixedly secured to said pivot shaft of said shift pedal arm means for simultaneous pivotal movement with movement of said shift pedal arm means;
• a rod shift lever pivotally associated with said pivotal lever means adapted for backward and forward pivotal movement by downward foot pressure on either of said front shift pedal or said rear shift pedal of said shift pedal arm means;
• and
• a shift rod extending from said rod shift lever to said transmission that upon downward foot pressure on a first of said front shift pedal and said rear shift pedal pivots said shift pedal arm means in a first direction and up shifts the gears from a lower gear to a higher gear and downward foot pressure upon the second of said front shift pedal and said rear shift pedal pivots said shift pedal arm means in a second direction opposite said first direction and down shifts the gears from a higher gear to a lower gear.
