Topic: What is this for?

[martin_uk]

My 78 CB750 K8 came with wrong rear mudguard/fender as too short for side bolts to fit.

I think it may be off a 650?

It was a US bike and wondered what the bracket is for?

I have a K8 and spare fender no bracket like that on mine. Not here either.

Could it be from a 750P (police bike)? Single seat and goodies attached to the rear fender.

Those rivets look kinda suspicious.  I don't think I have seen Honda use anything like that.

Not 650, as far as I know, no 650's had a light mounted on the rear guard like that, they were all in the tail piece behind the seat.

Those are definitely pop rivets.  Someone's home brew battery tray solution, looks like.

I have a P7 and the tray for documents is mounted with brackets,not with rivets on the fender. look home made to me.
