Hi All,
I have a USA '93 850 that I'm putting back into service. After removing the battery and bracket to get batter access to the carbs I'm reinstalling the bracket only to encounter a small tab with a hole welded to the right (as you sit on the bike) frame rail. Try as I might, it keeps me from lining up the bracket correctly with the mounting screw holes on the same side. Following the service manual for routing the hoses properly (or improperly IMHO), I cannot for the life of me surmise what early good this tab does.
I'm thing of just flattening the sumbitch against the rail for more clearence. Am I missing something?
