| 摘要 | A strap assembly is provided for mounting to the rear fender of a motorcycle. The strap assembly attaches a rack thereto having a generally flat supporting surface and a pad or cushion fastened to the edge of the rack confronting the motorcycle seat to form a backrest therefor. Instead of the rack, a helmet receptacle may be connected to the strap assembly. The receptacle can be locked to prevent unauthorized opening and theft of the cyclist''s helmet. The surface of the receptacle confronting the motorcycle seat is padded to serve as a backrest for a guest passenger. | ||||||
