Abstract
A motorcycle rear wheel frame is pivotally mounted to the motorcycle main frame. A shaft is positioned on a pivot axis of the rear wheel frame and the main frame of the motorcycle. Rigidly attached to the shaft is one end of a leaf spring. The other end of the leaf spring contacts a transverse cross member of the swing arm so that pivotal movement of said rear frame with respect to the main frame is primarily absorbed by the leaf spring.
