Mystery Part

Post by Stankflapper » Tue Nov 29, 2011 8:21 pm

While working on my TRX the other day I glanced down and spotted this part on the work bench that I have no idea where it has come from. Can anyone advise where I have left it out of???
Before I was working on my trx, I did have my Duke on the same lift where this part was found..

Hmmm punched steel, not machined in any way by the look of it. :? Have you tried Gurlgling those numbers stamped on it Stank?
As a guess, something to do with gear selection, perhaps interacts somehow on a gearbox selector drum.

No hole in it, it would be difficult to secure anywhere but by it`s shape it could maybe slot into something but again no scoring or marks / wear. Very odd!
You sure it`s bike related? :?
It`s not part of a new toy you are developing to take pictures of you sitting on in poor taste shirts is it? :lol:

Christmas is just around the corner and my wardrobe of stylish porn shirts, will no doubt expand.

What I know about the mystery part is:
I have worked on 3 bikes of late on my hoist, My dirter WR450 yammy, My 1198 Duke and my TRX lastly. I did not hear it drop onto the bench from any of my bikes and I was cleaning off the bench after I put the tank back on my TRX....

any more ideas please???????????????????

How about a braking component, from a drum perhaps, were you working on brakes on any of the three bikes?

In saying that, I did have the heads off my Duke not all that long ago. If there is a God, he will make sure that everything went back ok in that thing.

Some kind of static pulley positioner / timing device for the Duke? I thought you might have a drum rear brake on the crosser? But hey, I guess things have moved on somewhat! :lol:

Well you asked for ideas, I`m just trying to be helpful. It`s gotta have come from somewhere!
It couldn`t be part of the bike bench could it?
