Don't mean to sound "dumb", but I found this piece laying on the garage floor under my XB12S. I'm hoping this fell off my work bench or out of a box of parts, because I don't have a clue where it would fit on an XB (haven't done any work on my bike lately). Any one recognize it ??? THANKS  | ||

Yeah it fell off your bike. It is a clip that holds your fuell overflow to your footpeg hanger. No big deal. | ||

it is from your left "rearset". It attaches behind your left foot peg to hold your gas overflow tube out of the way....your rearset will have 1 longer bolt that this plastic piece threads on. Not essential to the way your bike runs…just might get gas on your tire/swing arm if you overfill | ||

"It's the gizmo that goes on your whatcha maycallit." Yep, that's what I called it !!! "it is from your left "rearset". It attaches behind your left foot peg to hold your gas overflow tube out of the way....your rearset will have 1 longer bolt that this plastic piece threads on." Found it on the garage floor when I came back from a ride, never saw it before so I couldn't imagine where it came from. THANKS for quick replies !!! | ||

You'd be amazed how much that lil tube oozes even if you don't overfill. I put the chrome heel guards on about a year ago but they didn't come with one bolt longer than the other like stockers did in order to utilize that little thigamajig. I had to devise a whole new 'vent' system....or get used to wiping that crap off my swingarm. | ||

What, that overflow tube is supposed to have a clip to hold it away from the swingarm? I'd better check--mine just hangs there, making a mess of the swingarm, has since day 1, I always thought it was kinda cheesy... | ||

Ah Hah! So that is what it looks like... Yeah I'm one of those 1 state bike guys.... | ||

Hey, I checked, and there it was--slipped the overflow tube through the clip, now it's nicely tucked away behind the left footpeg mount... Just another reason to read this site, I guess... |
