Definitions

  • the present invention relates to coverings for motorcycle storage units and the like.
  • Modern touring motorcycles are built to give riders the ability to travel long distances both comfortably and compactly. Because of the great distances riders travel with the touring 0 motorcycles, these touring motorcycles are often fitted with removable storage units (e.g., the storage unit sold under the trademark TOUR-PAK) for a rider's possessions, which when these storage units are fitted on the motorcycle are located posterior to the seat of the motorcycle and above the rear tire rim. Such storage units are also often affixed to the backrest pad of the motorcycle thereby forming an entire removable unit comprising of the storage unit and back rest 5 pad.
  • removable storage units e.g., the storage unit sold under the trademark TOUR-PAK
  • Such storage units are also often affixed to the backrest pad of the motorcycle thereby forming an entire removable unit comprising of the storage unit and back rest 5 pad.
  • a drawback related to touring motorcycles that contain such removable storage units is that when the removable storage unit is removed or detached for traveling shorter distances or to make the motorcycle lighter in weight, there is no convenient and safe way of protecting such storage units from being scratched or damaged.
  • a further drawback to touring motorcycles that O contain such removable storage units is that since there is limited storage space available on a motorcycle, there is no compact, portable way of protecting such storage units that have been removed or detached from being scratched or damaged.
  • a goal of the invention is to design a covering for a touring motorcycle removable storage unit in such fashion that it can be easily and compactly transported.
  • the invention is directed to a covering comprising a shell having an opening at one end which fits over the removable storage unit when the storage unit has been detached from the motorcycle.
  • the covering further is comprised of a fastening means for transforming the shell into a portable pouch that is joined by a seam to the outer surface of the shell along and interior to the perimeter of the top of the shell.
  • the shell can be converted into a portable pouch by folding the sides of the shell extending from the top inwardly across the opening such that the fastening means can be engaged to enclose the sides of the shell and form a portable pouch.
  • the fastening means can be easily disengaged to expand into the open ended shell to fit over the removable storage unit.
