Muffler bracket
05/05/16 at 04:48:21

There is an item in the parts catalogue called the muffler bracket. Attached to the underneath of this bracket are two extensions about 4" long with what appear to be a mounting hole at each end of both extension. Does anyone know the purpose of the extension pieces mounted underneath this bracket. I thought perhaps an attachment point for a centre stand?

Cheers

They have a vent system that takes vapor from the fuel tank vent, runs it into a canister, then burns it in the engine when the bike is running. On he CA bikes the fuel cap is not vented, the fuel tank has a vent tube that connects to the canister.

are the tanks all the same Dave, with the exception of vented and non-vented gas caps?

if so, where's the CA models vent lines on the tanks? are they capped off or something?

The other tanks don't have this vent line.
