Abstract
A motorcycle foot peg having a body portion adapted to bear the weight of a rider. The body portion is partially rotatable about a shaft, which is connected to the frame of the motorcycle. When in use, the angular position of the body portion of the foot peg can vary, so as to present a surface on which the rider's foot makes contact with a substantial portion of the surface of the body portion, not-withstanding the angle of the foot relative to the motorcycle frame.
Claims22
A foot peg for a motorcycle, comprising:
- a mount connectable to a frame of a motorcycle having a shaft extending therefrom;
- a body for receiving a foot of a rider, said body being rotatably connected to said shaft;
- means for biassing rotational position of said body relative to said shaft toward a preferred rotational position;
- and,
- rotation limiting means for limiting an angle of rotation of said body relative to said shaft, said rotation limiting means including a pair of stops associated with said body, so that engagement of one stop of said pair of stops by said body limits rotational movement of said body relative to said shaft.

A motorcycle, comprising:
- a frame;
- and,
- two foot pegs, each foot peg of said two foot pegs including:
- a mount connectable to said frame of said motorcycle having a shaft extending therefrom;
- a body for receiving a foot of a rider, said body being rotatably connected to said shaft;
- means for biassing rotational position of said body relative to said shaft towards a preferred, rotational position;
- and,
- rotation limiting means for limiting an angle of rotation of said body relative to said shaft, said rotation limiting means including a pair of stops associated with said body, so that engagement of one stop of said pair of stops by said body limits rotational movement of said body relative to said shaft.
5 more elements
A foot peg for a motorcycle, comprising:
- a body portion having an upper surface for receiving a rider's foot and an aperture passing through a substantial portion of the length of said body portion;
- a mount connected to a frame of a motorcycle;
- and,
- a shaft extending outwardly from said mount for receiving the body portion over said shaft, said body portion being rotatable in each of two opposing directions about, and relative to, a longitudinal axis of said shaft, said shaft having a key extending partway along the length of said shaft with the aperture in said body portion having a longitudinal recess cooperable with said key, whereby rotational movement of said body portion relative to said shaft is limited by the width of said longitudinal recess relative to the width of said key, said shaft further including means for permitting a rider to position and re-position, during motion while riding the motorcycle, said upper surface of said body portion as so desired.
