What's This Thingy?

[Ruggybuggy]

I just installed my FZ1 bars and there is a little metal tab that's on the right side handle bar. What's it for?

They use little plastic clips to hold the electrical stuff along the bar if I remember correctly.

Were you able to get the bars on without shaving it off? I have the same bars waiting to be installed...

Definitely. No need to shave it off.

I wonder if the reason some people have it and others don't are related to the years. I ordered one part and got a "replacement" that was in stock - that was supposed to be the same/compatible (although a slightly different part number). Perhaps the second gen FZ1 has the mount point and the older ones don't? At any rate, I'm just glad I don't have to mar up the bars trying to Dremel that thing off of there.

It's really not in the way at all it's where the zip ties hold the factory wires to the bar

Thanks guys! Wonder were I can get the special tie that holds the wires down? Yamaha if the price is good.

No, don't have to touch it. What's taking you putting on the bars? It's a very nice mod and only takes about an hour.

Here is the yamaha part number: 90464-20191-00. It's just called a "clamp".

It should cost less than $2

Part # 12
