88 CR250 Help to identify broken welded bracket??

[CR250oldtimer]

I have been stripping the frame of my 1988 CR250R to inspect then to repaint. I noticed it had a broken piece off the frame and I’m unsure what it was. The problem is on the kicker side on the inside of a vertical the frame rail a few inches below the rear brake reservoir and a few inches up from where the sub frame attaches and the exhaust clamps on. I originally thought it may have been an air box mount but that does not come that far forward. Any ides?

Thanks,

Can you post a pic of the area?

My computer @ home is dead! So I'll have to wait until tomorrow to post one from here @ work. But Yes I will!

ya mean the pipe mount? or the little flimsy peice that holds the rear brake reservoir line in place -if it`s the flimsy piece-i`d just file and sand it away and use red plastic zip tie

That's it!..... A peice that holds the rear brake reservoir line in place!

I have a pipe mount and the reservoir bracket.

Thank you so much!

I'm not worried any more! :-)
