what is this thing?

[Skidood]

Hi all, so got my new bike home the other day and already playing with suspension setup and whatnot.

This rubber doodad came with it, can someone illuminate my brain as to what this is for?

I’m about 99.5% sure that holds the tool kit in place in the little storage tray under the passenger’s seat.

Correct

I've got one securing my battery. None came for my tool kit, it just sits in the space. I do see the fastener points though. Now I'm wondering what else I'm missing? 😐

Open your tool kit, sometimes they are tucked in with the “tools”.

Hmm...  now you have me wondering.   I’ll wander out to the shop and take a quick look at mine.

It's for the "tool" kit and it is a pain to fit on the hooks.

Yep for the so called tool kit.             MIKE

Yep, mine has that strap for the tool kit

The pathetic tool kit. LOL

A very common mod is to cut the walls of the tray away everywhere, I did it with a very sharp knife, to provide more room under the saddle.

 

The toolkit will still fit under the seat support, and then you don't need to bungee it down.  You will then have room for other essential things obviously missing from the tool kit.

There also should be a thin piece of braided metal wire with a loop at each end which is supposed to secure your helmet to the bike!

laughably

Taking personal gear and devices out of the shop and off the FJ

I've resigned myself that riding is over and that in a little more than a month maybe plus a couple of weeks I'm going to have the back surgery that's been put off for 2 weeks now

but I can get a lot done in the meantime

this photo is sad when my sunglasses radar detector and I-pass go back into the cage

Ever been to Portillo's?

That's a shame you'll not be riding for a while @2and3cylinders.

Good luck with the back surgery, hope it all goes well and you are back in the saddle in the new year.

You are fortunate to be getting the procedure out of the way during the 'off season' so you can be back in shape and hopefully back in the saddle when spring comes around.  Best wishes on a positive outcome and speedy recovery.
