What is this?

deltarider:
In the garage bike fell over on its LH side and there is some damage.
The switch unit as a hole, 35200-341-600 is NA. The European CB500K2 shares this part with:
CB750K6 FOUR AUSTRALIA
CB750K6 FOUR ENGLAND
CB750K6 FOUR EUROPEAN DIRECT SALES
CB750K6 FOUR FRANCE
CB750K6 FOUR GENERAL EXPORT KPH MPH
CB750K6 FOUR GERMANY
Option 1 is to buy a complete repro for € 123,57 at Honda4.NL. https://honda4parts.nl/product_info.php?products_id=2621 Quality unkown and it involves a lot of labour.
Option two is to fit just another clutch handle. A friend has one for me.
Now my model has that mini switch that prevents starting when bike is in gear unless clutch is pulled. I like to keep it that way.
I've searched the garagefloor for eventual dropped parts and I found this little half moon. BTW, the black little thing in the same picture is possibly not from my bike (it probably was already there on the floor).
My question is: what is this little half moon shaped part from and is it possibly supposed to be in between the miniswitch and the clutch lever and, if so, how should it be oriented?
When I opt for the cheap option, there is still a new spot for the mirror to be found. Do you guys know of something I can fit around the steel of the handlebar which can accomodate my mirror. Not original, but I can live with that.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That unidentified part looks like a Woodruff key - I don't think Hondas have them.

Bryanj:
And the other bit a hammer wedge

Bryanj:
Also you can just fit a new lever blade and do without the mirror if that is legal where you are, im sure somebody  will be able to find either a used half switch or complete for you

Matt_Harrington:
Once disassembled, I'm sure you could get the main body welded up....
