Timing pointer
Ignition timing pointer that fits through the alternator inspection cover on the primary chaincase.
This is a small ignition timing pointer, sometimes called a timing pin, that fits through the removable alternator inspection cover on the primary chaincase. It gives you a fixed reference point so you can line up the rotor markings when setting ignition timing without having to pull the whole cover off.

Our catalog record ties this part to the CHAINCASE AND CHAINS figure, and the one appearance we have on file lands in 1974. It's a low-cost piece to keep on hand since it's easy to lose track of or misplace when the cover is off the bike for other work.
If your parts book shows a different year or model callout for this pointer, give the shop a call and we'll confirm it's the right one before you order.
