Author Message   Eexb Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2005 - 10:22 pm:        Don't mean to sound "dumb", but I found this piece laying on the garage floor under my XB12S. I'm hoping this fell off my work bench or out of a box of parts, because I don't have a clue where it would fit on an XB (haven't done any work on my bike lately). Any one recognize it ??? THANKS   Olinxb12r Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2005 - 10:38 pm:        Yeah it fell off your bike. It is a clip that holds your fuell overflow to your footpeg hanger. No big deal.   Wahmbush Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2005 - 10:47 pm:        it is from your left "rearset". It attaches behind your left foot peg to hold your gas overflow tube out of the way....your rearset will have 1 longer bolt that this plastic piece threads on. Not essential to the way your bike runs…just might get gas on your tire/swing arm if you overfill   Cyko_bob Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 07:11 am:        It's the gizmo that goes on your whatcha maycallit.   Eexb Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 08:46 am:        "It's the gizmo that goes on your whatcha maycallit." Yep, that's what I called it !!! "it is from your left "rearset". It attaches behind your left foot peg to hold your gas overflow tube out of the way....your rearset will have 1 longer bolt that this plastic piece threads on." Found it on the garage floor when I came back from a ride, never saw it before so I couldn't imagine where it came from. THANKS for quick replies !!!   Kowpow225 Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 10:00 pm:        You'd be amazed how much that lil tube oozes even if you don't overfill. I put the chrome heel guards on about a year ago but they didn't come with one bolt longer than the other like stockers did in order to utilize that little thigamajig. I had to devise a whole new 'vent' system....or get used to wiping that crap off my swingarm.   Kootenay Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2005 - 07:24 pm:        What, that overflow tube is supposed to have a clip to hold it away from the swingarm? I'd better check--mine just hangs there, making a mess of the swingarm, has since day 1, I always thought it was kinda cheesy...   Xbolt12 Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2005 - 01:32 am:        Ah Hah! So that is what it looks like... Yeah I'm one of those 1 state bike guys....   Kootenay Posted on Thursday, November 03, 2005 - 11:38 pm:        Hey, I checked, and there it was--slipped the overflow tube through the clip, now it's nicely tucked away behind the left footpeg mount... Just another reason to read this site, I guess...
