Think that one is to support the wiring harness before it enters the headlight.

Wiring harness sounds right. Is it part 1 on this diagram?

Can anybody with a 550f confirm their wire harness is under the yokes through this clip.
Seems strange to me.
Thanks

Fair enough I didn't even notice it was a F

Still basically the same bike if you squint a lot.

Squint a hell of a lot, and after 5 pints... it still will not look the same  ;)

Just googled it and know the clip your on about now.
You can clearly see it on a bike on eBay without the cable in it
I would post a link but laptops just updated and now it wont do anything properly  ::)
