I found them while removing the carb bank from the fat girl. They could possibly be from inside the faring someplace, I just don't know. I've never seen these before. Come on guys, tell me where they belong.  Hay  Jimmyt |

When I went into my fairing for the windshield change I did not see sumpin like that at all.  I know I know-ZERO help for the problem at hand.  It sorta looks like it might be a plug cover of some sort.  Again-ZERO help.  RIDE SAFE. |

They don't look like anything from Honda, as a working part from the bike. Could be something aftermarket. No other guess from me |

Something that got dropped in there along the way. I don't remember ever seeing those on the bike. Do you have a child or grandchild that may have deposited them there?

They look like something to hold electrical wires and they snap into something. You can see inside the one on the right that there are tabs with little barbs to keep them snapped on. But they fell out, one at a time (a day apart) while I was working on getting the carbs out of the bike. Maybe something around the coils? I did remove the one on the left side frame rail to allow the carbs to come out the right side. Now this is bugging me. Hay Jimmyt |

Throughout the years, my Valk has ingested a number of things. Some of which has never been recovered  |

They look like TPA's (Terminal Positive Assurance) use on electrical connectoer to hold terminals in place, if some one did some "CUSTOM" wiring, they may have dropped them, or left them off after removing terminals from the connector.
Just a guess.

Well you could be right, but now that I look more closely they look more like Whacha-ma-callits.
HayHauler....whacha-ma-callits go anywhere you can make them fit.

Skinhead, I believe you are right. While looking for my tube of dielectric grease, I saw this old cable on the shelf.  This looks similar to what I have, only larger. Well, I unhooked the driving light (pod light) and it looked like they might just fit. They do!!!  They go inside if the pod light connectors to keep metal objects from shorting out the contacts by mistake. Now, at least I learned y'all something. Hay Jimmyt |
