Mystery fastener

[gearman]

I noticed this fastener under the FJR today. I didn't see any immediately obvious places it could have come from. Could've migrated there from the messy fringes of my garage but I figured I'd ask anywho.

It looks like it may. Typical greenish colored anodizing, and it looks like it screws into a plastic piece on the fairing and then holds something like a bracket or... Look 'er up on a microfiche.

 

[HaulinAshe]

I vote NO. Never encountered such an animal on the FJR (yet).

 

[Geezer]

Does not look familiar to me. I agree with Ashe.

 

[exskibum]

I also agree with Mr. Ashe.

 

[SkooterG]

Nope. Never seen anything like that.

 

[escapefjrtist]

I'm voting with the majority, nope. Had mine stripped several times and never ran across that animal.

Looks like something that came from Ikea. You know, like the table whose name is

.
Just one question for Scooter and Bluesman. Would you say that thing is metal, or plastic?

Definately plastic.

Not on any of my FJR's mate.....Sorry

I'm with mike, definitely looks like a furniture fastener. Wood to metal etc....

Metal. MOST definitely metal.

Thanks for the input, I guess I won't fret over it.

You found it!!! Thank you thank you thank you. I was told recently that anybody who would put a car tire on a motorcycle must have a screw loose. And now I know where it went. Could you ship it to me??

By the way, ya know how you can tell for sure that it didn't fall off your bike? You were actually able to FIND it...

Yes, it's from the feejer. It's called a Langenweiller screw, and it secures the mid-section ferrous technoblarb arm to the circular shaped wing that controls the ion vector drift control.

You'd better reinstall it quick,,,,

If it were only Friday...
I can't believe it, well I should. Another Gen2 guy that doesn'tknow squat about bikes. Anyone can plainly see it's a gazarinator screw form the huftum wankle near the rear bypass arial. Dufas.

Bluesy, one of the MANY improvements in the Gen2 bike is elimination of the problamatic huftum wankle,,,,

I've seen these in furniture-assembly kits, like from Ikea.
