  1. Was cleaning the bike today and found this lying loose, does anyone have any idea what it is or where it should be??
    Many thanks
    PS I'm pointing at the offending object!

  2. Is it one of the spacers from under the seat?

  3. Could be, where about would it go?

  4. Lift the seat and you'll see the bayonet spiky thing that is half of the seat catch.
    Looks like one of the spacers that holds it to the seat unit.

  6. Or possibly from the rear tank mounting.

  7. The spacer from the wire fuel pipes guide, from nearside/cam cap ?.

  8. I think it might be too long for that one Brian? It's hard to get an idea of proportion but I think Nelson is right. The other similar (but smaller dia/length) spacer is used on the standard exhaust hangers just below rear of seat unit.

  10. Yes thanks I think it was, although I'm having bother fitting it back on, things don't seem to quite line up :(
