Abstract
A conventional motorcycle vehicle having a frame, internal combustion engine, and front and rear wheel elements is provided with a motorcycle rider body support system basically comprised of a conventional motorcycle rider seat support carried by the vehicle frame, a pair of opposed multi-position body foot supports also carried by the vehicle frame, and a pair of opposed multi-position body hand supports preferably carried by shock-absorber struts that connect the vehicle front wheel to the vehicle frame.
Claims7
A motorcycle rider body support system, incorporated into a motorcycle vehicle having a vehicle frame and relatively rotatable front wheel shock-absorber struts connected to the vehicle frame, comprising:
- a rider seat support carried by the motorcycle vehicle frame;
- a pair of opposed multi-position body foot supports connected to the motorcycle vehicle frame;
- and
- a pair of opposed multi-position body hand support handlebars carried by the motorcycle vehicle front wheel shock-absorber struts,
- said multi-position body foot supports each having interconnected concentric circular arrays of selectable different foot peg positions, and said multi-position body hand support handlebars each having selectable sloped element positions of a right frustum cone.
A motorcycle rider body support system multi-position body foot support comprising a base fitting, a co-operating relatively rotatable arm fitting, and a foot peg carried by said arm fitting, said base fitting having fastener means for securing said base fitting to a motorcycle vehicle frame, and said relatively rotatable arm fitting having a multiplicity of foot peg mounting holes with each foot peg mounting hole position being located a different radial distance from an arm fitting pivot axis, and said base fitting and said arm fitting having a multiplicity of selectable interconnected rotational positions relative to each other.
A motorcycle rider body support system multi-position body hand support comprising a base fitting, a strut split-ring clamp bore provided in said base fitting, a body hand support split-ring bore provided in said base fitting, a relatively rotatable bushing eccentric carried by said body hand support split-ring bore, and a handlebar element carried by said relatively rotatable bushing eccentric, said bushing eccentric when rotated relative to said body hand support bore and said handlebar element causing said handlebar element to move along the rotation path of a slope element of a right frustum of a cone.
