Seems like a missed opportunity for a cascade.

misunderstanding this discussion?

On most of my spineback Triumphs, the ball bit on the end of the hero
blob/bank angle indicator was absent due to me scraping it on the tarmac
rather a lot. When carrying a passenger on the Tiger 900, I used to be
able to get the pillion footpegs down. I'm far more responsible these
days, aided by not having hero blobs on the CNC pegs on the Tiger 800.
