A backrest for a motorcycle includes a base plate including an upper portion, and a lower portion including first and second opposing ends. A frame and/or pad are attached to the support portion. The lower portion includes a first vertical recess in the first end, and a second horizontal recess in the second end. A bracket is slidably mounted to the base portion, the bracket being slidable along a transverse axis between open and closed positions. In the closed position, a third recess in the bracket at least partially encloses the second recess for securing a pin within the second and third recesses. A locking arm is pivotally mounted to the bracket member for releasably securing the bracket member in the closed position. The bracket member and locking arm allow the backrest to be quickly attached to and released from a motorcycle.

We claim: 1. A device for securing an accessory to a support structure on a vehicle, comprising: a base member comprising an upper portion for connecting to a vehicle accessory, and a lower portion including a first recess extending along a first axis for receiving a pin of the support structure therein when the base member is aligned with the support structure; a bracket member slidably mounted to the base member, the bracket member being slidable linearly along a transverse axis between an open position and a closed position, wherein, in the closed position, a portion of the bracket member at least partially encloses the first recess for securing the pin in the first recess; and a lock on at least one of the base member and the bracket member for releasably securing the bracket member in the closed position, wherein the lock comprises a locking arm pivotally mounted to the bracket member, the base member comprising a stop that the locking arm engages in the closed position to prevent subsequent movement of the bracket member towards the open position. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the lower portion of the base member comprises first and second ends, and wherein the first end comprises the first recess, the device further comprising a second recess in the second end, the second recess extending along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis for receiving another pin of the support structure therein. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the first axis extends substantially vertically and the second axis extends substantially horizontally. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein the transverse axis extends diagonally relative to the first axis. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the first axis extends substantially vertically and the transverse axis extends diagonally relative to the first axis. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the locking arm is biased into engaging the stop, the locking arm being pivotable for disengaging the locking arm from the stop, thereby allowing the bracket member to be directed towards the open position. 7. The device of claim 1, further comprising a support structure attached to the upper portion of the base member. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein the support structure comprises at least one of a backrest and a rack. 9. A backrest for a motorcycle, comprising: a base member comprising an upper portion, and a lower portion including first and second opposing ends, the first end comprising a first substantially vertical recess therein, the second end comprising a second substantially horizontal recess therein; a bracket member slidably mounted to the base member, the bracket member being slidable linearly along a transverse axis between an open position and a closed position, wherein, in the closed position, a third recess in the bracket member at least partially encloses the second recess for securing a pin within the second and third recesses; a lock on the bracket member for releasably securing the bracket member in the closed position; and a backrest member extending from the upper portion of the base member, wherein the lock comprises a locking arm pivotally mounted to the bracket member, the base member comprising a stop that the locking arm engages in the closed position to prevent subsequent movement of the bracket member towards the open position. 10. The backrest of claim 9, wherein the backrest member comprises a first post attached to the upper portion of the base member. 11. The backrest of claim 10, wherein the backrest member comprises a second post, an additional base portion attached to the post, and an additional bracket member and lock on the additional base portion. 12. The backrest of claim 9, wherein the transverse axis extends diagonally relative to the first axis. 13. The backrest of claim 9, wherein the locking arm is biased into engaging the stop, the locking arm being pivotable for disengaging the locking arm from the stop, thereby allowing the bracket member to be directed towards the open position. 14. The backrest of claim 9, wherein the third recess is at least partially defined by opposing legs that each extend substantially parallel to the transverse axis. 15. The backrest of claim 9, wherein the bracket member is slidably mounted to the base member by at least one post received in an elongate slot in the bracket member. 16. A device for securing an accessory to a support structure on a vehicle, comprising: a base member comprising an upper portion for connecting to a vehicle accessory, and a lower portion including a first recess extending along a first axis for receiving a pin of the support structure therein when the base member is aligned with the support structure; a post mounted on the base member; a bracket member slidable linearly on the post along a transverse axis that intersects the first axis, the bracket member slidable between an open position that allows a pin to be received in the first recess and a closed position that encloses the first recess for securing the pin in the first recess; and a locking arm rotatably mounted on the bracket member for releasably engaging the post to secure the bracket member in the closed position. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein the lower portion of the base member comprises first and second ends, and wherein the first end comprises the first recess, the device further comprising a second recess in the second end, the second recess extending along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis for receiving another pin of the support structure therein, the transverse axis intersecting the second axis. 18. The device of claim 16, wherein the transverse axis defines an acute angle between about thirty and sixty degrees (30-60°) relative to the first axis.
