Unknown mounting points

While working on my GPZ550, i noticed these 2 mounting points on top of the frame just behind the gastank:


The previous owner probably removed some fuel carb. components. Al the vacuum parts onced used for the carb. is no longer present.(The evoporative emission control system).

I thought these 2 mounting points were used for some kind of bracket for the battery cage. The plastic piece underneath the buddy seat(in the front) usually slides underneath this bracket to keep the seat in place.

But i can't find any bracket in the service manual or on pictures. So is this assumption true ? Is it used for a bracket ?

What year is the motorcycle? Are the mounts threaded studs? A photo might help.
Try looking at the battery case & seat diagrams.

It's a 1984 model. And they are indeed threaded studs. I've allready looked at several diagrams, such as frame, seat, but i still can't find it.
I'll try to take a photo.

Could it be for the battery bracket? Ed

To hold rubber bungs as a seat support??

So it's a ZX550, not a KZ550. For future reference you should mention that each time & put the model in your signature. Thanks.
My guess is the battery bracket is missing. the one 650ed noted. I checked eebbaayy & cycletrader to see if someone was selling an 84 or 85 ZX550. no luck. some sellers include a photo of the stuff under the seat.

Ah yes, In europe it is called GPZ550, in the US it is ZX550. i will mention that in my signature, sorry i haven't done that.

I took 2 pictures today:




I suspected as much the battery bracket was missing.

Product is no longer available. i think I have to make one myself.

The US models do have GPz550 emblems on the side covers. I was thinking the 84-85 models would be quite a bit different than the earlier 550s, but they're kind of similar to the 82 & 83. doh.

In the battery bracket diagram, please note that there are a couple of dampers (92075A in the drawing).
I searched the bracket part number 11043-1035 & also did a couple of other searches on eb, but didn't find one.
cmsnl.com has a photo of the bracket in their diagrams.

Martin_csr., thanks for looking. I've also searched ebay.com and the german ebay, and dutch advertising sites (compare it to craigslist).

But i found some stuff with a dutch motorcycle salvage company. They have the battery bracket (and some other brackets I don't really need). And they also have the left sidepanel with GPZ550 emblem in the right colour. just what I was looking for.

I'll pick it up this saturday before it's gone, because this guy only has one left. They ask € 40 ( $45) for it. I'm happy

Could they have rubber bungs on them to support the seat? just a guess.

Amazed it still has the factory barcode on the tank sticker and 'No Oil' never seen that before.

Glad you found it. I was going to suggest searching for gpz550 parts lot. I saw a bracket in a google image, but the pic was from a long expired eebbaayy listing for a pile of ZX550 parts.
