I know the first suggestion would be to ask the person who sold me the bike, but the previous owner is no longer around, so I thought I'd try here.
Attached is a photo of things I found in the glove box, with one piece in the rear trunk. I know what most are, but not what they are for!
The Bent copper piece was kept in a small stick-on sleeve in the trunk. It may be a back-up strut to keep the trunk lid up, should the gas shock fail, but there's already a clever flip up piece MOD that would do the same thing. Theory two is, it's something that could be used to disconnect the parking brake spring should there be a failure, or ???
I'm guessing the PO may have pulled a trailer, and that's the plug cover. It looks like it is for a three wire plug, but I don't know if that's common to Spyder trailers since I'm used to four wire plugs with similar covers.
2 - 3/16 allen wrenches.
The flat wrench is 17mm, and the end with the hole has been slightly ground to make it thinner, although it could just be this is how the newly drilled hole was deburred. This wench was in a small self adhesive sleeve in the glove box.
I looked up the Aux Power Jumper on Lamonster's website, so I know what it's used for, but not where it might be used.
I figured if these tools were kept in the bike, some in their own sleeves, they must be of some use on the road. There were also a couple zip ties and assorted fuses, both of which I understand why they are in there.
There's no trailer hitch or wiring on the bike so I'm not putting the rubber plug cover back. I can't see a reason to carry the Aux Power Jumper either. This leaves the wrench, copper thingy, and the 3/16 allen wrenches, as possible handy things to keep in the bike, IF I knew what their use was. The factory tool kit is still in the frunk, which tells me these tools were for something more specific. Any ideas?
