I'm not trouble making - what are the spare lugs for on the right hand fork leg?

Very good question Ted, wish I knew the answer, but they are there unused on all the reference pictures. Anybody?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Later twin discs ?
Trigger:
For a caliper arm. Same on the 550's ;)

Phil and Roy, I'm not saying they weren't fitted that way by Honda, I'm saying IMO they got it wrong, we all acknowledge they do get things wrong, we all quote mistakes in manuals and parts books but we refuse to acknowledge they could have got an assembly wrong?
All I'm saying is that it makes far more sense to fit the bolt the other way round, if the nut comes loose you don't lose the nut the bolt and the D washer if that's fitted, are we really so anal that we have to fit things the exact same way as Honda did, especially if it makes no difference to how it works, it could have been fitted that way as it was easier on the production line, maybe the bolt was harder to fit when the clocks were already on so they fitted it from the bottom.
Mine will be fitted the other way round, what with the cost of those bolts these days it makes sense to safeguard your investment.
