| Summary: | In a rear luggage-carrier device for a motorcycle, in which a rear carrier disposed in the rear of a pillion portion for a tandem rider is supported by a pair of stays secured to left and right rear portions of a vehicle body, a backrest is supported on the stays so that it can be turned between an upright position and a housed position. In the upright position, the backrest is located above a rear end of the pillion portion such that it can contact from behind the waist of a tandem rider on the pillion portion. In the housed position, the backrest has been turned rearward from above a rear end of the pillion portion and housed in a front portion of the rear carrier so that luggage can be placed on the backrest. Thus, relatively large luggage can be mounted on the rear carrier, operation of detaching the pillion portion from the vehicle body cannot be hindered, and moreover the backrest can be disposed in the rear of the pillion portion in order to improve the riding comfort of a tandem rider on the pillion portion. |
