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.

definitely not original part, like lester said probably a mount for an accessory.

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.

... 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!

Virtually every project bike and many runners I have bought have had bits of tooling found in either the boxes of bits or lodged in odd paces, under tailight holders or whatever - wonder if the rear wheel was rebult at some distant point in the past and the dti gauge holder got left on the machine I know you say it hasn't been done but that might have been there years, or the dealer might have just checked the rear to be safe.

Ian DB has it right, definitely a clamp for chemistry lab or dial gauge use.
