Topic: What is this bolt?

1977 CB550
 Just changed both wheels. Had this part left at the end. It is possible it was from some other project but I want to be careful

I don’t recognize it but then again, who knows?
What bike?

[MauiK3]

Oops, I see, 550
Don’t know much about them

Is there a threaded hole in the head end, if so it looks like a bolt that holds headlamp shell that an orange reflector screws into

I agree

[neudl]

That is what it is! I had a spare and when I painted the bike and reassembled I set it aside right where I was putting everything for the wheel change. Whew. 

[neudl]

Thanks for the double check. I get paranoid when it comes to making sure there is nothing missing when I replace the wheels.

Almost everyone has a ruler.  Nice to see a size reference when taking a picture of a part to identify.

  Similar to asking "how long is a piece of String"?

Carry on... :-)

[bryanj]

TT the answer to your question depends on wether the string is being pushed or pulled

Brake bracket? Between swing arm and rear wheel...
