A hinge plate assembly composed of a pair of plates which are pivotally connected together is mounted on the frame with one plate not being mounted on the frame and that plate being movable between a position in juxtaposition with the plate that is mounted on the frame to a position that is transverse relative to the plate that is mounted on the frame. A cushion is to be mounted on this transverse plate and when that transverse plate is in its transverse position is capable of the unit being used as a backrest for an operator of a motorcycle, and when in juxtaposition with the plate that is mounted on the frame, this cushion is usable as a second seat for a motorcycle. When the plate is transverse, the frame can also be used as a luggage rack.
