Black Mystery Plates RPS ASSEMBLY
Potentially dumb question here:
I just built a Magician. In the box with the reflectors and bar guard was two black painted steel plates. What are these for? Is my bike going to catch fire and fall apart without them? Thanks. |

Better pack a fire extinguisher, just in case.
I have no idea what those are for.

thats a chinesium joke!!!
All of the workers at the ZONG factory are getting their April fools joke a bit late now.
They threw those in 2 confuse you. "Lets see if he posts pictures on the builder forum" they may have even placed bets... g They could be for you to practice welding on too. |

find two bolt holes spaced that distance apart and it may narrow it down.

I work in manufacturing, you don't just throw in two machined painted steel plates without a clear point... Unless its coming from China!
My only thought have been you can substitute them out for the passenger foot pegs, but that makes no sense. Any who thanks for the help! |

I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out where they could possibly go. And there's nothing like that on a the Hawk either.

thanks mr obvious. still makes no sense. lol
they came with my magician too, but holding them up to the bike still makes no sense at all. on inside of fender or out. better in the scrap pile for other uses in the future. the plastics arent painted, and its very secure without them. |
