    What you have there...

    I could be wrong, but judging by the way it has a recessed groove around the outside to mate up to a seal, and the honeycombing to increase strength against deformation from pressure differentials, combined with the two legs which look to be used to keep something spaced at a set distance or pressure, and the accumulated gunk around the honeycombing pattern, but not in the center of them, I would say it is an airbox cover. Likely from another motorcycle, and not yours.

    Perhaps your bike had a torrid affair with a honda and kept the piece as a momento?

    *EDIT* Upon running a search for Toyo Roki Seizo, the only relevant thing that came up was a vague reference for an air filter patent.

    Did the PO have any other bikes kicking around when you bought it? Maybe you can get a hold of them and let them know you will return their airbox cover for the paultry sum of... one billion dollars.

      Could indeed be an airbox cover, or.....

      Some GS models have a plastic piece that fits over the battery and under the seat. Does it look like it might fit there? The purpose of such a piece is to prevent the seat pan from touching the two battery terminals and heating up your posterior.

        Looks like the airbox cover on the 450 I worked on.

              It is smaller than a bread box and also an airbox lid.
