Sissy Bar Device with Foldable Luggage Rack
The sissy bar device is intended to provide users with a sissy bar that can be used with and without a luggage rack. In other words, the luggage rack sits flush within the sissy bar when not in use but may be deployed to 90 degrees away from the sissy bar, when a luggage holding platform is required. More specifically, the luggage rack is deployable and retractable. To accomplish this, the device includes a luggage rack that is hingedly coupled within a sissy bar. The device further comprises a base rack for support and support brackets that prevent the luggage rack from bending below a certain angle. The luggage rack may be locked and unlocked into desired configurations with the help of a locking knob. Thus, the sissy bar device with foldable luggage rack is a simple and versatile device that can be very useful for motorcycle users.
