looks very much like a clamp off off a laboratory stand which is used to 2 sections together rather than part of a bike, the screws are missing tho. I have one very similar somewhere that comes in handy as a tap wrench when in a tight spot. Just a thought

It looks aftermarket. Sure it wasn't for panniers or something. I can't imagine Honda using grub screws for something.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

definitely not original part, like lester said probably a mount for an accessory.
Love the 500 and 550 have a 500 called Lazarus under restoration

I have no recollection of seeing one of those bits (I had 2 550k3's but neither very original so not exactly definative), I geuss a microfiche exam might shed more light, or it could be left over from a previous accsessory long since removed - perhaps for luggage or even a handy thing to hook bungies on.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

... looks like its designed to tie two 1/2" rods together @ 90 degrees.  What 1/2" rods are there at the back of the bike??? Perhaps a left-over from an indicator stalk / aftermarket part?

... possibly looks like part of a dial gauge set up. You been tru'ing the spokes and thrown it in the wrong parts box!
