Hi all

yes, most of us have done it now, where you leave it on the side stand for a few mins and you come back to it and it has fell over.
well this happend to me yesterday, and it landed on a boat trailer, to my suprise the only visable damage i could see what the seat had a tere in it about an inch long.

BUT
i started hearing a raterling noise from my left handle bar, and i could see into the end of my grips that there where 2 nuts/bolts, raterling around which had come lose from the fall, so i took them out of the grip, as they where not fixed to anything.
i have no idear what they are from, as everything ells seems fine.
here ar some pictures of them.
would be grate if someone could help.

Thanks all.








here are them turned over

My guess is that they come from the plastic plugs in the end of the handles.
Atleast my scooter has one silver coloured plastic plug in the end of the both ends of my handle bar.
There's a screw which holds the plug in place. On the other end of the screw theres one of those bolts.
Don't you have those plastic silvery plugs left on your handlebars?
These nuts and bolts are quite tricky to screw back on the handles. You don't need them really anyway.

Strange. If you never had any, I have no idea where they come from then.
