Can you help me identify this accessory mount?

[tmoldovan]

Hi all,
new to me bike, previous owner had something mounted on the left handlebar.
Maybe a cupholder or a phone?
I don't recognize the mount type, it's not like the standard ball joint.

So hoping maybe some of you have seen them.

(on the back it has a hole for an allen wrench)

TIA

Tmoldvan I am thinking you’re on the right track with cupholder it appears it could be a pivot point for a basket that would hold the drink. Sabrekip.

It look like the top edge is rough. Is it broken?

Not broken. just has some gunk on, like dried glue. Chips off easily enough, exposing metal.
May just be easiest to replace it with a proper mount.

Looks like a broken mount for those analog clock or temp gauges that were popular a while back.

It's one of those FARKLEs that nobody knows what it is, but they all have to have one!

Is it magnetic?

 

[vinny]

Looks home made and ripe for replacement....

 

[tmoldovan]

Nope, not magnetic.

Obviously the sinusoidal dingle arm for the Turbo encabulator... (snark!)

I was wondering how many replies tmoldovan would get before the creative answers start. Guess we answered that.

Clearly its a support arm for a Flux Inverter - available from MCL.

It's a kinigly pin for holding the Canuter valve.

It is the axle for one of these stainless steel pinwheels:


Past owner must have gone a bit too fast.

Clearly its a support arm for a Flux Inverter - WAS available from MCL.

FTFY

Cripes, I thought I just needed a power converter from a Tashi station!

That's why you are on this forum, so you can find out all those things you didn't know!
