Title: What are these ???
Post by: marcmax on July 21, 2012, 08:16:00 AM

I have seen this seller list these several times when I have been browsing (fl)eBay. All he says are they are rear brackets. Anyone have any idea what they are? I don't have anything that looks like this on mine.

They arent quite the right shape for the Krauser seatbelt type clips (and there wouldnt be a need/use for that third threaded hole)... Hmmmm Not sure what they are!

Finally couldn't stand it any longer and emailed the eBay seller to ask. He said they came off an R65LS and were holding on the rear reflectors. Appear to be custom made.

Yep, I can see the wear marks, now that you mention it.  Seems a bit overkill strength wise for such a diddling item.  ...could incorporate some offset holes for bungee attachment, etc...
