A quick-release attachment device having a receiver assembly mountable in a concealed position under the rear fender of a motorcycle, the device being useful for quickly connecting and disconnecting load-supporting apparatus such as, for example, a trailer hitch, carrier platform, golf club carrier, or the like. The concealed receiver assembly desirably embodies two laterally spaced, longitudinal support members attachable to the motorcycle frame in a position that is hidden by the rear fender, a transverse support member interconnecting the longitudinal support members, and a downwardly inclined receiver member depending from the transverse support member to receive an upwardly inclined, projecting portion of a load-supporting apparatus that is insertable into the receiver member.
A receiver assembly is mounted in a concealed position under the rear fender structure of a motorcycle for use in quickly connecting and disconnecting load-supporting apparatus to the motorcycle, the assembly comprising at least two laterally spaced, longitudinal support members positionable under the fender and attachable in fixed relation to said motorcycle, the longitudinal support members having rearwardly extending distal ends, a transverse support member rigidly interconnecting the longitudinal support members near their distal ends, and a downwardly inclined receiver member depending from the transverse support member, said downwardly inclined receiver member being releasably connected to a portion of the load-supporting apparatus.
