2003 1150GSA, Small square of sticky back plastic on the swing arm, what's that for then? Bike ain't got ABS, is it a protector for summat to do with that? Doesn't seem to protect anything.

I remember fitting those at PDI I think it's to stop the rear brake hose rubbing the paint thru on the swingarm

Neat little patch innit?

Yeah, neat, just can't see anything that can rub on it.
