Abstract

A bracket is provided for carrying and/or storing a large U-shaped lock used to secure a motorcycle or the like by passing the U-shaped shackle through the wheel of the bike and closing the ends of the shackle by means of a cross bar locked thereto. The bracket is comprised of a flat body portion along at least one edge of which is formed a tubular or semi-tubular receptacle adapted to receive a leg of the U-shaped lock shackle. Mounted to the body portion is a fastening device for engaging the cross bar of the lock to prevent longitudinal movement thereof with respect to the bracket. The bracket when used on a motorcycle preferably is mounted against the shock absorber for the rear wheel thereof.
