What is this bit called? - SV650.org

22-10-10, 01:43 PM

I just noticed my Pyramid Tail Tidy is hanging down at the back becuase 2 of the screws/bolts have gone missing near the tail light.

The bit I am after is a metal square edged C shape, with a hole through the middle and one end threaded.

This bit slips onto a plastic tab on the bike also with a hole in to enable you to put a screw/bolt into it.

Gawd, I cant describe it properly, but someone will know what the hell I'm talking about!

"Fairing bracket" is the best I can come up with but it obviously isnt called that as no searches bring it up lol.

Its not a pyramid part, I've seen these elsewhere on the bike as well.

If I had some tools with me I'd try find one to take a pic but I dont

Let me see if I can work my mspaint skills!
