Abstract
Abstract A steering handle for motor cycles and the like has two symmetrically formed handle levers, which each are constructed of a plurality of individual members, i.e., of an inner member (a,, a 1 " b) which is connected to the front wheel fork and an outer member (a3, c) which is grasped by the motor cycle rider. Normally, between said inner and outer members there is provided an intermediate member (a 2 ). The individual members are adjustably interconnected such that the mutual positional relationships of these members can be arbitrarily changed, whereby the rider can take any desired riding position in accordance with his physical constitution and individual taste.
