WhatzIt?

Post by Randyjaco »

I have two Items here.
1. These two identical plastic pads dropped off each side of the bike as I was removing Tupperware to change the air cleaner. I have no idea where they came from or what they are. (The picture shows opposite sides)

2. I am missing something here. (left side front, under Tupperware) I presume it is a temperature sensor, but I could be wrong. Anybody know the part number, because it has flown the coup?

TIA
Randy

The pads may have had Velcro at one time, but there is not any now. They fell simultaneously, one on each side, when I dropped the work stand. Kind of strange :(

The fog lights plug makes sense, but I have never noticed that empty connector before. :o

I am happy to find out that I haven't lost anything important.

Thanks for the help.
