Abstract
An articulated, rear wheel motorcycle suspension system including two rocking arms, each pivotally mounted between its forward and rearward terminals to the vehicle main frame, in the vertical plane of, and approximately parallel to, a trailing arm of the U-shaped swing arm assembly. Each rocking arm is linked adjacent its rearward extremity through a connecting link to the rearward extremity of the trailing arm therebeneath. The connecting link is pivotally attached at each of its ends, and linked adjacent its forward extremity to the vehicle main frame through a resilient, compressible, and dampened unit (shock absorber) which is pivotally attached at each of its ends.
