Abstract

An auxiliary wheel conversion assembly for a motorcycle comprises a quick connect and disconnect structure, including a generally U-shaped frame having side frame members on opposite sides of a receiving pocket to receive the rear drive wheel of the motorcycle when connected thereto, a cross-bar across the rear between the two side frame members, an auxiliary wheel mounted along and to the outside of each side frame member, such wheels being of the same size as the rear drive wheel and substantially in axial alignment therewith when the conversion assembly is connected to the motorcycle. The forward end portions of each side frame member converge inwardly as they extend forwardly. Their forward ends include connecting members for quick releasable connection to corresponding cooperative connecting members secured to the forward and lower portion of the motorcycle frame. Intermediate connecting lugs are secured to a portion of the motorcycle frame on each side at an intermediate location between the forward ends of the side frame members and the location of the rear drive wheel of the motorcycle when received in the receiving pocket of the conversion assembly. Corresponding lug receiving brackets are mounted on the side frame members of the conversion assembly for registration with the intermediate connecting lugs on the motorcycle and for seating of those lugs therein when the rear drive wheel of the motorcycle is received into the receiving pocket of the conversion assembly.
