Ok, just over a year ago I bought some stuff from EBR during their auction, went for a quick trip to WI to pick it all up. Quick is relative...its 14 hours each way. And I did the whole trip in 36 hours. Ouch. Anyway, when I returned I just put everything in storage, as I was house shopping and didnt want to really deal with it at the moment. All moved now and started clearing out the race trailer and came across these 'assorted xxx' bins I need some help identifying what all I have exactly. First is this piece which Ive figured out is part of a clutch or brake lever...but why is it like this? In the lot I received two levers, theyre one piece, this is just the mounting part of it - why?    Next is this - for a rear shock?   Next is this little guy...I have no idea what this is    | ||

Next post - brake pads Got a lot that was 'assorted brake pads' there are four of each, curious if anyone can identify what they are exactly - what they fit and any differences in them stamped '2410'  stamped 'N804'  stamped '2408'  And then these, which were ziptied together with sharpie on them 'l' and 'r' Can tell that caliper pistons have been on them  I'll do more later, as I have a box of wheel spacers but a few of the things are, well, odd - dont think they're all wheel spacers Thanks for any help!

I like the brake lever with the force measuring sensor. What a lot of weird stuff! | ||

The lever end is for fold up levers, supposed to fold up in a crash to prevent breaking a lever. Kind of useless without the rest of the level. I'm going to guess that the threaded rod with a ball end in some sort of part for a steering damper. Just a guess mind you. | ||

Hmmm they never did fold-up levers on a bike - prototype part? Nate - yeah, I had to ask a year ago about that lever with the sensor, neat piece. Theres more, I bought three 'lots' and its just random stuff. A TON of E clips three axles..but Im not sure what they are for (I'll post those pics up later with measurements) And the wheel spacers lot is nuts, so many different ones, many with their measurements sharpie'd on the side...but mostly rubbing off so its hard to read  | ||

The folding lever could have been a racing part that just got thrown in a bin. | ||

One thing thats hard to see, or at least notice, is that its machined with '20' in in, the black lever has 'A20' on it...or maybe its the silver lever I have... Either way - both have '20' on them, so Im thinking that this was made by Buell. But thats why I ask yall, lots of amazing folks on here with a wealth of knowledge. | ||

Anyone have ideas on the other piece? It reminds me of a shock mount, but who knows. | ||

>I more suspect that the lever is from a test mule . . . looks like it may have strain gauge stuff as part of it. . . the clevis is likely off a shaker. | ||

shaker? | ||

Shaker... Many manufactures use shaker tables for fatigue analysis and accelerated design verification. Instead of doing a whole bunch of field validation, you can instrument a machine (or bike or car) with accelerometers and strain gages, and drive it for a few hours under different conditions to collect data. The shaker tables used cylinders to move the given vehicle in such a manner to replicate the accelerations from the field data collection, but in a much quicker manner. That clevis probably hooked to a cylinder and also to the bike. Clemson has a smaller one that's used for auto bump, squeak and rattle development- check out the upper right side of the brochure. http://cuicar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/CU-IC AR-CTL-flyer-2017-V1.pdf | ||
