CB125 Question from Embarrassed!

[richjp]

Hi all

I am on the rebuild of my CB125 TDC, having dismantled it a few weeks ago and I am generally very careful at labelling items as I take them off the bike. However, not this time as I have come across the attached thin plate and for the life of me can't remember where it came from - can anyone help?



Many thanks
Richard

Needle in a haystack. Here is your haystack, look yourself

That is the 88 bike. You may need to change it.

It's a seat catch.

Thanks GPz750 - had looked before, but couldn't see it in there.

Thanks too mattsprattuk - I can't see that part in the schematics for the seat, but I will check the actual bike - I believe you have it - some stirring at the back of my mind that that is it.

Thanks too mudcow007 - however not quite sure what a powa-band is ?

It the steel shim that prevents the front pads damaging the alloy calliper

Easy to lose and then destroy the calliper

Does not look at all familiar to me at all.
It's not the seat-lock catch though; that's a sub-assembly bolts under the seat rails, and has a round receptor for the catch pin on the seat and a sort of lever inside the socket to catch it.
First thought was it looked a 'bit' like the brake pad pin retaining plate... but it isn't.

It has no round holes; two square ones with tangs hanging out of them, and a couple of half holes at the top; so it isn't a retaining plate that bolts down over something else, it looks more like a shim or spacer. Tangs don't even look right to locate or end-stop springs.

So not seat hinge or seat lock; not front brake; Air filter boxes are all moulded, and filter clips in on a tag on the filter cassette, so nothing from that region; battery & electrical? Again, all the bits that bolt to the frame have round holes in them, and or are plastic/rubber.

I'm wondering if it's a "dufuque bracket"; Snowie had one of them when she did her Super-Dream. Wonderfully cleaned it, superbly painted it, then spent two days scratching her head trying to work out where it bolted to the frame... till recognised it as a bit of old ironmongery from a old wardrobe she'd probably dropped out the old nails tin when she was hanging bits to paint on nails and string!

It honestly doesn't look 'Super-Dreamie' to me. So something used in an improvised repair not in the original Honda ingredients, from another bike maybe?.. or bit of a car seat left in the tool-box or something? That would be by best bet.

Put the rest of the bike together, like a jig-saw and see if you find a hole it fits as you go!

[hmmmnz]

may be some thing to do with the tail light? numberplate light, or the tail reflector?
