rubber bands under the seat...

[hubcapsc]

The ECU is held in place under the seat with a big rubber band. When I was just
looking under there, I found another rubber band just lying in there, and I don't
know where it goes. I was in there just a couple of months ago... it wasn't
loose in there then.  Maybe you could look under there and see if you can tell
where it goes?

The extra clutter you see under there is that I got that over-priced Honda
accessory connector (fancy cigarette lighter) and I got a splitter for it
to run a GPS and the relay for my heated gear.

I installed my new Corbin Gunfighter seat today and noticed the second rubber band. It holds the helmet set wire. It shows it on page 33 of our owners manual.

Thanks  ... it is also the "document holder", it secures the
owner's manual.

My owner's manual has been in a zip-lock bag in my saddlebag ever
since 2015, I just didn't remember anything about that rubber band...

I realize now that you wouldn't want to have any kind of book in there, it gets
soaked in that compartment when you're riding in the rain...

I bought the individual pieces to make the tool kit that's in the parts book. That rubber band holds it to the back vertical wall of the storage micro-compartment. I don't expect to ever need the tools, but it seems like good old school prevention.

Which reminds me...  I wanted to have some tools with the 1800, and didn't get the ones
listed in the owner's manual either. I started looking around on eBay and discovered that
older goldwings had a cool tool set, made by the same company that makes the regular
tools that come with most Japanese bikes, only they're "more fancy" and chromed. I
kept looking until I found a nice set for about $40...
