Abstract
A motorcycle having a fork lock includes a cover which is adapted to be manually moved between a cover position where the cover overlies the fork lock and an uncovered position where the fork lock is exposed to allow a key to be inserted into the fork lock. The fork lock is attached to a mounting member carried between a pair of handle bars for the motorcycle. This mounting member includes a raised platform of a predetermined configuration in which the fork lock is seated. The cover includes a cover plate and a base plate, and the base plate has an underside to which is secured a double sided adhesive member. A first side of the adhesive member is bonded to the underside of the base plate and the second side of the adhesive member having an adhesive surface. The base plate includes a recess portion having a configuration substantially the same as the predetermined configuration of the raised platform, so that the base plate fits snugly over the platform and the planar surface contacts the second side of the adhesive member to bond this second side to the planar surface.
