What's this for?

[Zarco]

I'm having a clear out and going to see what I can get for an OE ZX6R exhaust I have lying around. In the box with it I have this. It's approx 300mm long. I'm sure it's part of the bike as it's the same finish as the helmet hook bracket I have as well.

Propping the tank up?

Well done. I think it would be perfect for that! I've always improvised with a piece of wood.

I'll keep that then. Thanks.

My old suzuki SV650 had one as part of the tool kit. My current yamaha FZ1 does not have one. So I make do with a block of wood. I wish I had a tank prop.

Me too.

My least dodgy solution for propping my VFR800 tank up is all 3 pieces of my socket extension bar set slotted together - with the female end placed over the hex head tank bolt. Seems quite stable but it's still a scratched tank and scraped knuckles waiting to happen.

looks like a Suzuki one with that green hue!!
