Timing pointer
A fixed timing pointer used to line up ignition timing marks, cataloged under the chaincase and chains section.
This is the timing pointer, part number 71-3892, listed in the CHAINCASE AND CHAINS section of the parts books. It's a small fixed indicator used for setting ignition timing, letting you line up the marks on the rotor or flywheel so you can find the correct firing point.

It shows up across catalog listings running from 1976 through 1985, so it's a part that stuck around through several years of production without much change. Given where it's cataloged, it's mounted near the primary chaincase area where the timing marks are visible for setup.
It's a small, inexpensive item worth keeping on hand, since a bent or missing pointer makes it hard to get your timing set correctly. If you're not sure it matches what's on your bike, give us a call and we'll help confirm before you order.
