ABSTRACT:
A rear fender mounting structure includes features for simplifying the assembly of a rear fender, sub-frame, and grab rails to a rear frame of a motorcycle. The sub-frame has brackets welded onto it. The brackets include holes with protruding collars defining the holes. The rear fender has holes lined with rubber bushings. The protruding collars are fitted into the rubber bushings. The rear fender includes a bracket which is hooked over a crossbar of the motorcycle frame. The fender is then lifted from its rear end, by pivoting the bracket about the crossbar. When alignment occurs between the bracket holes and holes in the rear frame, linkage plates with bolts extending therefrom, are employed. The bolts are passed through the aligned holes. Next, holes in the grab rails can be easily aligned with the ends of the bolts. Nuts are used to secure the arrangement. The backrest mounting structure includes features for dampening vibrations in the backrest, and for improving the appearance of the motorcycle by placing the attachment of the backrest inside the grab rails. Upper and lower rubber members sandwich lower portions of the backrest supporting members. The lower portions of the backrest supporting members are tilted 45 degrees relative to horizontal and are located inside the grab rails.
