vrex Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Looking over the new bike, I am wondering about the purpose of two extensions from the top triple clamp, one in front of each fork leg, each with a threaded hole in it. Mounting points for some existing or potential accessory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Mounting points for accessories. I believe it's mentioned in the manual as that as well. I think they make a GPS mount that uses them. Not sure if there's anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyhotshoe Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Not entirely sure but my guess is that the triple clamp is the same one as on the FZ09. Its likely used there to hold the tach/odometer display. Anyone with an FZ want to pipe in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrex Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Seems like the most likely explanation. I think in the Harley world that's called "parts-bin engineering" (sigh). I may use one of them as a mounting point for a switch for running lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Actually, to be honest, when creating the board I checkmarked the box next to "Raise IQ of the Forum" , and it automatically changes all reference of H.A.R.L.E.Y. D.A.V.I.D.S.O.N. to heavypieceofshet. Go figure. Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
