Have found a small metal bracket on the garage floor. Typically when you are finished with the service and rebuild! Do not know how long it had been there.
Does anyone recognize it??
Where could it come from?

The brakes front and rear.
The light front.
The handle with wire and handle grip and switch has been dismantled.
Petrol tank has air's away and easy carburettor control.
The rear end has been rebuilt with a rear rack.

Thanks for any answers! Do not stay up too long with this, might as well be from an ordinary bicycle or other garage jobs.

Thanks!
Iit's a small spring clip that looks quite like. Wondering where did it come from?

[weedahoe]

Yeah, Ive never seen it before either. Could have come from anything

Couldn't have come from "anything" because we ruled out a GS500. I don't think it is from a bowling ball, either. So it could be from anything except a GS500 and a bowling ball.

Remember if you say you're lost in the middle of nowhere, you are SOMEwhere. If you didn't know where you were, how would you know you were in the middle of it?

It almost looks like a contact switch from an older motorcycle hand controls. As in - pre 1985 motorcycle at least. What material is it made from, and is there any wear marks on it? The old sliding contacts were made from copper and would wear out on the "crown".

Oh yea clutch lever slider switch ... not opened it up in a while, but the proportions also seemed wrong ... but if its copper it could be.

Very good Big Rich.

Cool.

Kanon good, I might be closer to end soon! Promise to look at clutch lever, etc.

Nr. 6 ?

No - #6 is brake side.
Its that fitting closest to #24 on the under side - clutch side, the lever has a sliding switch fitting with 2 wires coming out of it.
That guy has a circuit board with 2 prongs. That prong set is shorted when you pull the clutch lever. This U shaped tiny copper bugger does the shorting and it sits inside the clutch lever. There is a spring behind it and should have grease to let it slide and hold it there when you assemble it.

However - If your clutch switch works and you have not bypassed it - as in the bike wont start with the clutch out but wil lstart with it in, this thing is probably not from it.

Cool.

Just perhaps it would be good to learn right left. Thanks for the good information. Fun thought like the gas in the snowmobile, mount clutch brake handle toward the body. CROSS BRAKING AND EASY TO DECLUTCH!?
