What's this?

I found this on the floor this morning and can't figure out what it is. It's about 10mm long and made of brass. I recently had the carbs apart so maybe it is from there? Thanks Ross.

The picture is not clear enough for me to tell - can you get a close-up?

Dave, here's a better picture. Ross

Ross:
I guess I have no clue, but am pretty sure it not a CBX carb part.

Thanks Dave. It's funny how you can loose tools to the garage pixies and at the same time parts show up from who knows where.

Actually, it is a terra incognita; a constituent piece either included at the time of manufacture or set in place as a replacement for the original piece, and is made of various metal alloys consisting mainly of copper and zinc.

Had the six-shooter out lately?
Check the Wild Bill chain about half-way down this page. That HAS to be it.

Steve, it sure is a close match except mine is only 10mm long. No 6 shooters in this house but there are times when working on the bike I think it might be a good idea.

Those of you who know me, will forgive me for asking, because they know I am a little slow...but where is the link (pun intended) between the mystery part and the Wild Bill chain

Well, I am not THAT slow. I did that, but I still can't make a connection, other than the color is similar.

Ooooops sorry If you look at the chains the end piece that would go through a button hole looks like the item I found on the floor.

O.K. I see that now..

Just another one of my very poor attempts at humour, Mike.
I bet George will know what it is.

Steve: I don't think it was a poor attempt. I like to think of myself as having a little sense of humor. And after I was helped a little looking for the right thing, I think it is actually funny. Especially, as I am quite fond of some of the American Western history, Wild Bill Hickock and Billy the Kid in particular. I have been to the places where both of their lives ended, several times.
