    GSX750ES 1985 : Unidentified part

    After closing the crankcase and fitting the the cylinder block with engine head on top of it, I was left with this excessive part which I do not seem to identify.
    Is it something related to vibrations ?

    It looks like one of those 2 parts at the bottom of the bent timing guide (#6 in the drawing) but it is not this one.

      It does look like a chain guide of sorts, but I don't recognize it.

      Metal, plastic, or rubber?

          It looks like a plastic cap from the end of a seat grab rail. Does your bike have one?
