This was in a twin-shock airhead toolkit I just picked up, and I have no ideas what it does:

It's around 38mm overall length, M6 thread and has a 10mm head on it.

Looks like one of the retainers for the back of a gauge to me, the kind that hold aftermarket oil temp gauges and such.

Thank you.

As I don't have an oil cooler equipped motorcycle this is of no use to me. Anybody wants it for free drop me a pm.

Holds the Left Handed Spindley Sprocket in place. Must be replaced imeaditly as there is no telling what might happen if your Left Handed Spindley Sprocket falls off. :ugeek:

If the threaded part is 23mm long it is the thermostat opener tool.
