Why did you do that? Shocked

It's a test fitting jig. It's easier than with a complete bike since it's light enough to be moved around and set on a work bench. We needed the belt drive pulleys in tact to test things like the clearance of the belt guard and rearset brackets at different suspension travel lengths. We also use it to test fit tanks (tanks and tank mounts are stamped and sold as matching pairs to ensure a proper fit).
