72 CB500 K1 What is this bracket for?
« on: July 17, 2014, 04:32:00 pm »
There is a bracket which fits under the left front fuel tank rubber.  It looks like it may be a retainer for the harness you see strapped to the tank.  Any ideas what it is?

Your main wire harness goes there.

It supports the wiring bundle for the coils and horn. Basically all of those loose wires at the coil.
