I will PayPal 5 bucks to the first person who can correctly identify this part. It comes from a 1964 Honda CA102 Super Cub.
It came from the motor, hand controls or starter.
That’s a nose plug, so you don’t have to smell the exhaust.
Looks like a spring minus the brush for starter motor (edited)
Clearly, it's a handlebar mustache.
Dude, it's a ruler.

Wonder if those "ride" better than an average mustache?
While I am beginning to love wearing it, I think it has a different original purpose.
Both of my brush springs are accounted for. So still searching.
I never cared for jewelry .
Maybe it fits inside the carb slide to hold the needle in place ?
It's a clip to hold on the Fake Plastic Chrome it goes on the rib that's on the Pressed step throughs

Haha I wondered....
Forgot where it goes?
It's a #%YBFHFGEDd and a really rare one at that.
To add friction to the throttle twist, so it doesnt return. For cruise control.
Actually looks like its for a Honda C70 but whatever.

Interesting thought. I have a couple c70s and haven’t run across this part before?
Okay I reread it so the frame is out after that I would say it holds a ball bearing in the spring to make a switch go click
I think we’re very close. I found this piece at the bottom of some degreaser that most recently was used for a hand control soak. But the parts listing for the hand controls doesn’t note it.

Honestly, its not for a Honda.
Looks to be for a sliding door or window sach. If I had to guess, that spring bounced its way into one project from another project.
Somebody could have jammed it in there instead of that V shape wedge that holds your controls in place it goes in between the outer perch and the bar to stop it from spinning we should be playing this more like liars Club we should start a thread and off topic I just put up some weird part and let everybody guess is this is kind of fun
What does it taste like?
Was it greasy or sticky?

I had an old Italian throttle that had a part exactly like that. Used a set screw to push it against the throttle to adjust tension. Might have been a tomaselli superpratic B throttle, I don't remember.
You guys are all awesome! I pm’d Adrian, Baird and willd. That’s definitely the part. Thank you for your help!
Received tonight! Many thanks!
I shall spend it on my '69 Maxi.

Now if you only made it a dollar a guess...
