The other day I rolled the k1100 out of the garage. Went to start it and nothing. No familiar fuel pump wurrr. I checked and side stand was up. But nothing. Gave up and took the car back to the office. After work I got home went to try starting it after having sat in the sun through the afternoon -- vrrroommm... instantly. BUT! There was THIS part laying below the bike. Have not been able to I-D it from parts diagrams. Pretty cruddy on the underside so I can't tell where it fell from and what it's going to take to remount. Until then I'm hesitant to ride in case something else falls off. Yipes!

It's a bracket that supports the exhaust on the right side of the square box part of the exhaust.

You won't crash if you ride without it.

The side stand switch can be finicky. I had an issue with that on one of my K1100s. I solved the issue by putting a short piece of vacuum hose on the tang the pushes on the side stand switch to make sure that it does a better job of engaging the switch. Easy peasy.
