Abstract:
A motorcycle foot peg is comprised of a shaft connected to a bracket via a pin and a cotter pin, a platform, an outer and inner latch, a spring, and a screw. A platform swivels on the shaft. The spring biases the outer latch to be held substantially perpendicular to the inner latch, and swivels on the shaft. When mounted to a motorcycle frame, the foot peg enables a motorcycle rider to fixedly engage their feet into the foot peg via fore and aft cleats on the bottom of their motorcycle boots. To release from the foot peg, the rider twists their boots past a certain angle. The platform pivots to expose either side of the platform and make proper contact between the bottom of the boot and the platform. Platform teeth give grip between the boot and the platform when rider is not engaged to the foot peg. A shaft leg prevents the foot peg from pivoting up and back relative to the motorcycle frame. A first cleat is mounted towards the front of a motorcycle boot and a second cleat rearward from the first. Screws secure cleats to the bottom of the motorcycle boot. Slots allow the cleat to be adjusted fore and aft. A rider clips into the forward cleat in order to absorb bumps in the terrain, and clips into the rearward cleat in order to operate the gear shift lever or operate the foot brake. For longer rides for comfort, it may be desirable to switch between being clipped into the forward and rearward cleats.
