What's this tank prop for? - SV650.org

Balls!

From under the pillion seat of my SV650 SK8 I've removed a ~12" long piece of round rod shaped metal, loop at one end, slight bend at the other.

Anyone know what it is and what it does?

I can post some pics if needed.

Rather worried I've done something serious...

The previous owner of mine had removed it and the bike still worked fine. Rest assured!

Safely back under the seat, but I can't see where it needs to clip to.

It's not a tank prop, it's a "rusty trombone"

You got a K3? I didn't have a clip either. Which is why my tank prop lives in the garage

SK8, I can't see anything under the seat resembling a clip.

The previous owner installed a Scott oiler and a tail tidy so some things may have been removed for those
