A motorcycle (10) comprising a first frame member (110) having a first opening (128) and a plurality of wires. A joint member (140) is coupled to the first frame member and at least a second frame member (122, 62). The joint member has a second opening (142) therethrough. The plurality of wires extend into the first opening through the first frame member and through the second opening of the joint member.

A mount for a control device for a bicycle includes a securing portion disposable at least partially around an outer surface of a handlebar of the bicycle, a housing portion extending away from the securing portion, and a cavity within at least the housing portion, the control device being disposable within the cavity, wherein the housing portion includes a shoulder that defines an opening through the housing portion to the cavity, such that an opening size of the opening is smaller than an opening size of the cavity.

An exemplary mounting bracket is configured for releasably securing a bicycle lock to a bicycle, and generally includes a housing, a pair of opposing arms, a pinion, a latch, and a manual actuator. The arms are movably mounted to the housing for movement between inward positions and outward positions, and each arm includes a rack gear. The pinion is engaged with each rack gear and correlates movement of the arms such that the arms move with one another between the outward positions and the inward positions. The latch has a latching position in which the latch is operable to maintain the arms in the inward position, and has an unlatching position in which the arms are free to move from the inward position to the outward position. The manual actuator is operable to move the latch between the latching position and the unlatching position.

A saddle-ride vehicle is a saddle-ride vehicle in which a radiator is disposed in front of a down tube hanging down from a head pipe, the saddle-ride vehicle including: a radiator shroud provided at the radiator, the radiator being supported only by the radiator shroud, the radiator being supported by a vehicle body via the radiator shroud.

A kit for facilitating the connection of a forward-facing video camera to an off-road vehicle, including a connection plate, wherein the connection plate further includes a first generally flat member for connecting to a vehicle, a second generally flat member oriented generally parallel with the first generally flat member, and a third generally flat member extending between and connecting the first and second generally flat members. A pair of spaced elongated apertures are formed through the first generally flat member and an aperture is formed through the second generally flat member. The kit further incudes a camera connector for operationally connecting to the second generally flat member, a plurality of threaded connecting members, a plurality of nuts, and a plurality of washers. At least some of the apertures are positioned to match preexisting bolt holes in the steering assembly of an off-road vehicle.

The present invention is directed toward an accessory mounting system. The accessory mounting system can be used to mount an accessory to a vehicle. The accessory mounting system includes a base assembly and an accessory assembly. The base assembly can be fixedly positionable on the vehicle about a first axis, the base assembly including a first locking member and a base assembly second member. The accessory assembly can be removably securable to the base assembly. The accessory assembly can include a second locking member that selectively engages the first locking member. The accessory assembly can be rotatable about the first axis relative to the base member. The accessory mounting system can further include a charger that receives the accessory assembly. The charger can include a charge receiver engager that electrically engages the charge receiver, and electrically disengages from the charge receiver.

An accessory mounting fixture for a vehicle is provided. The accessory mounting fixture includes a fixture body connectable to a vehicle surface and having a substantially U-shape defining a frontal opening and adapted to receive an accessory portion. The accessory mounting fixture also includes a locking assembly adapted to selectively secure the accessory portion within the frontal opening. The locking assembly has a first lock member pivotally connected to the fixture body on a first side of the frontal opening and a second lock member pivotally connected to the fixture body on the second side of the frontal opening. The first and second locking members are operable between a closed position for confining the accessory portion within the frontal opening, and an open configuration. Positioning the first and second lock members in the closed position secures the accessory portion within the frontal opening.
