Gawd - I hate being a newbie...............

righto - what're these "U" clips for please? And no comments about the manky underseat - it's been lying for a few years, getting spruced up next week.

They're holding clips for a U bolt security clamp (like Kryptonite). Have to be a fairly small one though?

Like a disc lock-sized one perhaps?

or you could use them for holding a spare sausage

Thanks for the replies - even the useless ones Looks about as much use at holding a "U" lock as a chocolate fireguard but never mind. At least the TDM has a moulded seatbase for a biggie.....................

most people rip it out ,,its give more room for waterproofs ,,,, or more sausage

S'pose it shows how standard this ol' beastie is..............apart from the wooden bits for the sidestand

now that's a sausage

Why am i thinking "sunburn on a nudist beach" ??

The clips have no useful purpose at all BTW.

Oh no that`ll not do at all,everyone knows a Scottish sausage is much bigger than that,it`s why kilts are so long!
By the way,I`ve still got to take the useless bits of bracketry and plastic out of mine,ANY excess weight is not permitted,unless I`m on tour and have the rack I recently aquired fitted.

Over in Australia mate we just put them in the fridge and eat them cold...lol no need for a fridge there I spose ... Keep your bacon and milk there too???

so back on topic,, its a useless device for carrying a lock that no one uses

IIRC, this was for the official Yamaha u-lock which you could buy from dealers back in the mid-90s insurance crisis days. Almost as much use as a Honda camchain. Not only was I there with my TRX, but I've been re-reading vintage Fast Bikes so I speak with authority

Did your sausage fit into the brackets?
