Abstract

Motorcycle footrest brackets are described and that are adapted to be secured on opposite sides of a motorcycle having a frame and passenger footrest mounting holes on opposed sides of the frame. Each of the brackets includes a rigid base plate including a bottom end and an upward end. A bolt is mountable to each base plate at the bottom end and is configured for attachment to one of the passenger footrest mounting holes on the motorcycle. A pin on each of the base plates extends to an inward end and is positioned on the base plate and configured to abut with a portion of the motorcycle frame to prevent rotation of the base plate about the bolt. A footrest mount on each rigid base plate adjacent its upward end is configured to mount a conventional motorcycle footrest.
