Strangely, this item was included in a drop shipped delivery of a XB9 low seat that my wife recently ordered online. There are no part numbers listed, other than the manufactures name on the shock (stabilus bloc-o-lift). My guess is that it has something to do with a bike lift Anybody know? Cheers -Jack |

That is an adjustable seat back for a Road King, it also allows the seat back to be removed without removing the seat. |

Looks like a pneumatic mouse trap. Cool. I've experimented with alternative mouse traps. The best one was a 5 gallon bucket with about 3 inches of water in the bottom and some peanut butter smeared on the inside of the bucket. It's a painful death, but then again, it's a mouse.

It's a FLARB bracket. FL Adjustable Rider Backrest. The funny thing is that it's actually noted as a FLARB in some of the HD literature. I always got a chuckle when I read that. |

No no no. What you have there is a Flerblewerfer. Don't you guys know a Flerbelwerfer when you see one? Its a hybrid of a doohicky and a whatchamacallit.

>>>>Court, were you a bubblehead? Actually a jarhead. I lived in the Coronado Shores (just south of the Hotel del, across from the Chart House), but went to Point Loma to run. I lived in CA for a number of years, in Coronado, Manhattan Beach (summer of debauchery) and kept a weekend house in Marina del Rey for a couple years in the mid 90's and of the 44 states I've traveled on a Buell, CA is the only one where I have 19 - "#1 Favorite Places". . . Point Loma was likely the 3rd to arrive on the list. |

I must say the subject device looks fully automatic and hydraulically damped....or as Blake would say "dampened".

I believe that is an authentic German made Schwanzometer. You generally only see those at R.U.B. events and frat parties. |

I am trying to get a handle on what part this is. . . I've never seen anything quite like it.

Court, that is an optional accessory for the German made precision Schwanzomter. |

"Isn't that a universal backrest of some kind for any model of bike". Hmmm...I believe that more closely resembles a face rest! |

Court, Then you remember the "dinosaur cage" (FRD-10 HFDF array) as you came down the strand into I.B.? I was stationed there for two years ('67-68). They had some old shore artillery bunkers along the beach in there that were a great place to party in the evening hours. And grunion hunting to die for! Get a battle lantern and trash can liner from the Ops building on the mid watch and go out and get yourself a bag full of good eating. For you easteners a grunion is a Hispanic smelt. Coronado was a neat town, the old Del hotel was only about $20 a night back then. Jack |
