Been a while now since I looked at one of my bikes but I seem to recall the peg acts as an anchor point for the footrest. Sames as Grahams description but my recollection is that the footrest has a lug mounted on the back/front which locates behind this peg, the peg doesn't fit inside the footrest. Same principle, it stops the footrest from going any further forward, it will howeverallow the footrest to rotate backward if the engine mounting bolt the footrest locates on isn't tight enough.

Sorry Oddjob but, you are thinking 500 and early 550's. The 550F1/F2 has a hole in the peg bracket for this dowel to locate ;)

I'm mounting rearsets and the dowel interferes with my bracket.

As the picture shows the side stand mounting plate it's clearly the L/H side of the bike. So although both of us are correct if that's the case, this time I win :) as the picture shows the side with the lug not the brake side. Plus if it was right the frame lug would be in front of the bolt hole not behind it as in the pic.

Looked at my foot pegs and it looks like Trig is right. The left hand peg has a hole for the dowel to fit into, the right hand peg has a lug.
