I've seen it before but can't place it. Seems like it was back further protecting something that was put on after 80.

That looks like the sheild on the bottom next to the starter cable comming next to the gas tank. I pulled mine off my 80 model to repaint it. I had my left rear tire off at the time. Hope that helps.
