A friend of my sons dropped off an old left for dead 75' FX1200 yesterday. Had a box of some extra parts.
What is this? There are 2 of them. Thanks!

Looks like an FX/XL kicker arm with a bent cross bar welded in the notch to mount it to the kicker shaft.

Why?? IDK, but that is what it looks like from way over here.

Kicker welded to a bar. Did they make some crazy extended footrests?

33082-74 is stamped on the kicker arm. Doesn't look homemade. Welds and coating are consistent. It is the size of a kicker with the extra piece. It looks factory, but not finding anything. Doesn't seem to attach or go anywhere on the bike. Odd for sure!

Looks like a support bracket that goes on top of the cylinders and mounts into the frame on one end. Remove the tank and see if there's a attachment point on the frame and between the cylinders. That's my guess.

Looks like a stand you would use for a race bike with no kick stand.

Looks like a tool for measuring runout or twist when rebuilding connecting rods.
