A CD changer mounted on a vehicle is supported in a floating manner to sufficiently damp vibrations and prevent a CD from skipping. Mounting plates and a pair of inner support plates are connected to each other at two front and two rear points by a first set of dampers, which buffer displacement of the mounting plates within a vertical plane relative to the inner support plates. The inner support plates and a pair of outer support plates opposite the inner support plates and supported on the base plates are connected to each other at two front and two rear points by a second set of dampers, which buffer displacement of the inner support plates within a vertical plane relative to the outer support plates. Suspended springs mounted between the mounting plate and the outer support plate exert a spring force to counteract the weight of the CD changer. |

A battery and generator operated electro-mechanical device looks like an engine and emits engine sounds. The engine attaches to a bicycle frame giving the bicycle the appearance of being a motor bike. The engine makes an authentic idle sound when first started up and sounds like an engine accelerating to full throttle as the bike is pedalled. In a second embodiment, a fully mechanical engine sound is produced whenever the bike is in motion. Both embodiments are housed in an authentic looking engine housing. |

A housing and mounting system for the mounting of stereo radios, mobile communication broadcasting system (C.B.) and the like on motorcycles is provided which comprises a plastic housing unit suitably shaped to contain the stereo or other unit with speakers and other such devices, said housing unit containing two lower housing brackets comprising a channel with suitable holes for containment of tightening nuts and bolts. Two support rods are inserted in each of the housing brackets and are pivotably connected. The housing may be easily removed from the motorcycle by loosening the nut and bolt assembly, then removing the housing from the support rod. The position of the housing unit can be easily adjusted by rotating the support rod about the handlebar bracket system; moving the support rod up or down the handlebar bracket system; and/or by moving the housing bracket along the support rod. The novel housing and mounting system provides increased stability for a stereo radio unit mounted to a motorcycle and has the advantage that it can be easily removed and positioned. |
