Exhaust system for motorcycles

摘要

Two embodiments of motorcycle engine mounting and exhaust arrangements wherein the exhaust pipes of the rear bank of a V type engine are adapted to pass between the forward pivot point of the rear suspension arm and a recess formed in the crankcase transmission assembly of the engine. In one embodiment, the recess is defined by a single rearwardly extending engine mounting projection. In the other embodiment, the recess is defined between a pair of spaced rearwardly extending mounting projections. In the embodiment wherein only one mounting projection is employed, an arrangement is provided so as to insure balance of the loading on the frame from the single engine mount.
