P500 What are these clamps on the 500 rack?

[Tom_C]

I bought a used 2015 500, and it has these clamps on the rear rack. What are they for?

Those are Honda factory clamps. That's cool that you got a handful thrown in, good for a lot of different mods. The guy before you must've used them to mount something to the rack?

Thanks!. I was just posting a pic with arrows, but glad you know what they are. There's a lot of 'good' things I found on this unit, but an equally number of bad things too. I've replaced about 2 dozen push pins, redone a lot of wiring, replaced a missing bumper flair, and washed out about 2 gallons of mud. But, all and in all, I'm still happy. Until the next shoe drops

BTW, @trigger, I've still not yet installed your soon to be patented heat shield, but that's next. I replaced all the bolts and push pins under the seat, but forgot about the shield. That's next.

That's what I was thinking! Bought a bag of pins a long time ago and have replaced a ton. When you're constantly adding stuff, you're always redoing the wiring. When I dropped my skid plate after a Takeover, it had 2 or 3" inches of mud all the way across it and weighed about #60, damn near broke my arm when it fell. If you ride hard this stuff becomes normal maintenance.

Thats good to know. I dropped the front skid plate, but will drop all of them and power wash everything, again. I don't do mudding, but don't care about those who do. This unit appears to have been buried to the axels.
