Hello guys

While on the trip, my friend stopped me because he saw that I lost some part from my bike. We found it, but I have no idea where it came from. Maybe I just run over it, maybe not.



Thanks

I don't think the exhaust bushing had an aluminum sleeve. The sleeve looks like it's good shape...so it was probably not part of the exhaust system ; ) Sure looks familiar though. Let me ruminate on it.

Maybe it is used with the early mount!?
(previous owner sort of updated it)

If it's not from your bike it could be useful in the future!

Nothing I can place.
Maybe it fell off of his bike.

Maybe it's from the rear exhaust mount Z bracket? There should be two.

Looks like a shock mount from a rice burner.

Thank you guys, I was almost sure that it was not part of my bike (I have never seen that part), I am glad its true.


The funny part of this story is that this thing probably saved my ass. When I ran over it, my friend stopped me (because he thought I lost something) and then we saw that my front tire was covered with oil - my front fork seal was broken really bad.

The aluminum part in the photo looks like a front wheel spacer to me.

Way to small to be the wheel spacer. Plus, it that fell off....you'd notice REALLY fast!

Some odd mufflers had unique exhaust brackets with odd bushings. Would be worth checking the bushing in the front and rear muffler mounts just in case. Not a stock piece though.

I have vance & hines, but I think it is not part of this exhaust. But I will check it just to be sure
