Abstract
In a motorcycle having a main frame, a seat support on the frame, and a seat mounted to the seat support. The seat support is at least partially separable from the main frame so as to provide ready access to stored items or for maintenance and repair of motorcycle elements beneath the seat. The seat support is made separable by separable fasteners, or by hinges or pivot pins. The seat support can also serve as the mount for a rear fender. It can be made in a monocoque configuration for improved rigidity, and even for storage such as for a fuel tank.
