Near the upper shock mounts are two unused threaded holes.
My dealer's initial impression is they are alternative shock mounts for lowering the bike. That would work except the left side is offset inboard quite a bit - so much so that the shock would interfere with the belt drive without a hefty spacer.
I think they are simply leftover from the original Bolt frame and would appear to have once held a fender strut bolt per side.
Anybody got some clever ideas for putting them to use?
Those are not for shox. They would snap off like a prom dates brastrap! I have a saddlebag mounting system where those holes are. I guess theres other things it would work for but I'd never mess with the factory geometry when it comes to something that critical. I'll try and send a pic.
Does anyone know the bolt size and thread count? I'd like to fashion my own bracket and luggage, but I need to know what bolt to use to attach it here. TIA!
Don't look at me. I glued my fingers together and to the left handgrip on my SCR last night while installing the bar end weights.
I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. I think. :laugh:
If you position it right I can imagine that being good enough but the positioning seems sort of weird to me. Usually when it comes to aftermarket/custom turn signals I like to mount them closer to the seat, flush with the underside of the seat if possible.
It doesn't seem like aerodynamics is really their primary concern. More so just for styling and being different. Unique. It's nice to see people doing crazy things to them, just nit-pick certain aspects and put together your own ideal bike ! :grin2:
There's a bag mount/luggage rack that fits there. I've seen a few with lights, but I think it's more common to mount signal lights through the holes in the metal plate just under the seat, above and behind the plastic number plates. Oh, and welcome to the forum!
