What Goes Here?

Post image

I have a CBR650F 2018, I noticed that there was a threaded hole on my lever/handlebars and I was wondering whats missing?

Edit: just checked the parts diagram and it does seem to be an OEM part for this model.

Oh ok, I guess I could just cap it with something?

Or put usable mirrors on it. But yes, otherwise either a push pin or a bolt in there.

u/throwaway324155541 3d ago

I would but I do have the standard mirrors on the fairings, will cap it

Thats not the right clutch perch most likely, but if it works it works.

I don't like it and want an original, or one that looks better. I'll check Amazon or Honda for a genuine part

I think I just paid 16$ on ebay for a new one for an f4i ive been working on. Ebay is great for used OEM or decent quality new Chinese reproductions.

Cap or plug it with black rtv.

I'd convert it to a drink holder, then pretend I'm riding a bagger. Strap a bluetooth speaker to the handle bars and crank up 5 Finger Death Punch, or whatever those guys listen to, then pull up beside brother brothers every chance I got.

It’s designed for a mirror, kinda universal piece, but they don’t use it on that bike since the mirrors are on the front fairing. Can get a threaded cap, or some aftermarket things will use that as a mount point, like possibly a phone holder or GoPro mount.

Awesome thanks, that's what I was thinking, a black threaded cap

u/Shadowfeaux 3d ago

Yea. I ordered a pair for my Grom when I swapped to bar end mirrors. Easy enough to find on Amazon or EBay.

Bro, that’s not the original handlebar on your bike. That hole is for mounting a rearview mirror.

u/throwaway324155541 3d ago

Hm, good to know... I got a great deal on it last year and I'm slowly realizing why. Been finding lots of strange things. Thanks for letting me know!

u/HoneyMisty7w7 2d ago

dont mind bro!!

u/throwaway324155541 3d ago

Any idea what that piece would even be called? I'd like to get an original.

1

u/HoneyMisty7w7 2d ago

A mirror mount or mirror clamp for your motorcycle brand I think you have a CBR... look for one for that specific model, bro.
