Support plate
The bracket that supports and mounts the tail lamp assembly at the rear of the bike.
This is the support plate that backs up the tail lamp assembly, holding the light and its wiring in position at the rear of the bike. It shows up in the parts book under the TAIL LAMP AND SUPPORT(S) figures, which tells you exactly where it lives - it's the bracket the lamp mounts to, not a cosmetic trim piece.

Catalog listings for 83-5001 span 1974 through 1985, so this plate saw a long run across that era without changing part numbers in our records. If you're chasing an intermittent tail light or a lamp that rattles loose on rough roads, a bent or cracked support plate is a common culprit worth checking before you start chasing wiring gremlins.
We don't have more detail on this one beyond what the figure titles and catalog spread show, so if you're matching it to a specific year or model, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
