What are These?

I'm looking at the triangular things below the tank. Almost look like pannier holders to me.


On another note, I need to just start to buy these C-list Specials to sell to needy SOHC4 members:

Accolay,
    I just saw both of these 1/2 hour after you and thought the exact same things.  If only I had the garage space...   Hope all is well and you're getting some riding in!

Cheers,

I've got the garage space...it's just that I have too many projects that need to be finished. But it's almost painful to see a good deal and not make a go.

However, it would be actually painful if I came home with another bike and tried to explain it to my better half.  :)

Wow, I just got off MPLS craigslist to log on here and see this.  I saw the 650 but not that nice 750.  If wifey wasnt pissed about the first bike, we might be in a bidding war.  just playing   ;D

Vetter fairing bracket? That's my guess. And the lack of headlight bucket...

+1 on the Vetter fairing bracket. You can see where the hose clamps attach the bracket to the frame.

We have deals like this all the time around here. I think there are a lot of guys are wise to it now though and are monitoring C-list by the minute to get them first. And I only assume that the good deals without titles (which is not too hard to get in MN) are being chopped for parts...
